YOURS MINE & OURS 2005

When Navy officer Frank Beardsley meets nurse Helen North there's an undeniable attraction although both are apprehensive about any potential romantic involvement, having recently lost their spouses leaving them responsible for raising ten children and eight children respectively. When they decide to wed, unconventionality turns into comedy. From finding a house big enough for all of them to learning to make 18 school lunches to coping with a son going off to war and an unexpected new addition to the family, this film attempts to blend two families into one and hopes to answer the question is bigger really better?
