Outnumbered

Outnumbered captures the turbulence of family life in a way not seen before - at its most deliciously chaotic moments. Family life for two parents and their three young children is locked in an unequal contest. Using elements of improvisation, this comedy is an honest portrayal of well meaning parents constantly try to keep their children under control, but completely failing to do so.
