The high-concept teen film is a genre he has dominated for over a decade, with films such as The Waterboy, Just Married, and Big Daddy. He also focuses on modestly budgeted family comedies such as Cheaper by the Dozen, Yours, Mine and Ours, The Pink Panther, and The Pink Panther 2 with Steve Martin.
