Yours, Mine & Ours is a 2005 American family comedy film about a family with eighteen children, ranging from 4-year-old Ethan to 18-year-old William. Directed by Raja Gosnell, it stars Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo and was released on November 23, 2005. It is a remake of the 1968 film of the same name, which starred Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda.
The film was produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Nickelodeon Movies and Robert Simonds Company and was distributed by Paramount Pictures and Columbia Pictures.
High school sweethearts Frank Beardsley, a widowed U.S. Coast Guard admiral, currently serving as superintendent of the US Coast Guard Academy, and Helen North, a widowed handbag designer, are reunited when Frank and his family move back to his hometown of New London, Connecticut. After unexpectedly encountering each other at a restaurant while on separate dates, they run into each other again at their 30-year class reunion.
Instantly rekindling their old sparks, they quickly decide to marry in a private ceremony. They are quite aware of the fact that Frank has eight children from his first marriage, and Helen has ten from hers. They move into a new home on the same property as the lighthouse where Frank and Helen shared their first kiss, joined by the North children's numerous pets (including a pot-bellied pig and a guinea pig), and Frank's housekeeper, Mrs. Munion.
It soon becomes apparent that Frank has a very regimented view of how things should be done, whereas Helen is an artist (a designer by trade) with a more free-spirited, lackadaisical attitude. Their respective children are shocked by the news of their parents' quick wedding and do not get along well at first, even turning a planned lighthouse renovation project into an all-out paint fight.
