Though father Gilbreth often sounds (and sounds off) like father Day, Cheaper by the Dozen lacks the literary merits of its wise, well-honed predecessor. Mother Gilbreth's firm character is made clear (she still lives in Montclair, runs her husband's business and was 1948's "Woman of the Year"). But the personalities...
