In Vitro cinema
Ok. What's the deal with all the kids in the movies? Lemony Snicket has his series with those three unfortunate children. There's that run on Cheaper by the Dozen flicks. Then there's the same movie called Yours, Mine, Ours, Theirs? His? Hers? Who are these kids?! and now the one with the nanny that reminds me of Mary Poppins and the kid from Love Actually. What exactly is going on here? Is there a cinema baby boom? Are the Hollywood types so desperate that they are now trying to serve up family fare all the time? Kids are the new Schwarzenegger.
