"Cheaper By The Dozen" Cast Reunited for a TikTok Challenge With Hilary Duff, Alyson Stoner, and More

Spend time on TikTok these days, and you’ll likely find people exposing their scene-kid past in the viral #JustaKid video challenge. Well, the cast of Cheaper By the Dozen is the latest to get in on the fun.

The premise is simple: Recreate a photo from your childhood or teenagerdom as best you can, by adjusting your hair, makeup, and clothes, and copying the pose in the image. The videos all feature “Just a Kid,” the hit song by Simple Plan — and now they’re in very good throwback company: actors from Cheaper By the Dozen digitally reunited to create a video of their own.

Last week, singer and actor Alyson Stoner alerted fans to a possibility that “the Bakers have something else cooking” after Disney+ hosted a Twitter watch party for the 2003 movie. She more than made good on that promise on Wednesday, by uploading a megacut of the cast recreating key scenes from the movie. They weren’t in the same room together — that would be unsafe in the era of sheltering in place! — but the digital reunion will tide us over until that magic can happen IRL.

The video includes everyone from Alyson and Hilary Duff, to Bonnie Hunt, Piper Perabo, Kevin Schmidt, Jacob Smith, Morgan York, Brent and Shane Kinsman, and Forrest Landis. Steve Martin appeared in homage, when a be-wigged Morgan held up an iPad zoomed tightly into his face — sadly, Tom Welling was nowhere to be found. Hilary donned her best face mask to recreate Lorraine’s annoyance, while others found props around their homes to do their best Baker impression.

The movie family also shouted out the organization No Kid Hungry, which helps provide meals to kids experiencing food insecurity. “Surprise!,” they wrote on identical captions. “From the Baker family to yours. We are all in this together.”
