DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

adonis98-743-186503 After he's laid off, a husband switches roles with his wife. She returns to the workforce and he becomes a stay-at-home dad - a job he has no clue how to do. Another excellent Michael Keaton film that shows again why he is a great actor full of great laughs but also sweet and romantic Mr.Mom is just awesome my favorite scene has to be the one where the Rocky theme song started playing on the background and he was shaving and doing other things inside the house. I enjoyed it a lot not as much as Multiplicity but it was still a great and amazing movie Keaton will always be in the Top 3 Batman actors no matter what if you haven't seen this film please do you will laugh a lot. Final Rating 10 out of 10.

FlashCallahan Jack and Caroline are a couple making a decent living when Jack suddenly loses his job.They agree that he should stay at home and look after the house while Caroline works.It's just that he's never done it before, and really doesn't have a clue...This is one of those fish out of water movies, that is really only funny thanks to Keaton and the chemistry he has with the children.Hughes has gone for the predictability factor with this, and although it's very pleasing to watch, you cannot help but feel that a wealth of better material could have been added.we have the boss who wants to marry Keatons wife,the inevitable watching of the soaps (which is quite funny) and of course, men do not know how to use household appliances.But Keaton pulls this out of the doldrums, and thank heavens he has such a great supporting cast.The narrative flows freely and makes the film easier to digest, but one cannot feel tat this could have been so much more.At least this doesn't have much of a Chance of being re-made, as it wouldn't be very original or unique now.

lost-in-limbo Simple-minded fun is ensured from this charmingly light-hearted suburban family comedy penned by John Hughes, produced by Aaron Spelling and starring the likes of Michael Keaton (after his break through performance in "Night Shift" the year before), Terri Garr and the comic actor Martin Mull. There's just something about "Mr. Mom", while it didn't have me in stitches it seemed to be a pleasant farce which remains quite likable with its repetitive, if accidental gags caught in real life situations (some being over dramatised e.g. the sitcom daydream sequences to enliven the humour) and the daily chores that fill a housewife's cycle. Keaton is a good sport finding him in plenty of red-faced and grinding situations that soon begin to affect his mental state of mind. Keaton balances the right moods in an amusingly bright turn and goes on to prove how well of a versatile actor he was. When the tables are turned for Garr's character… that's when she comes out with a wholesomely good performance and a fine show-in by Mull as her smarmy boss. Also in small parts are Jeffrey Tambor and Christopher Lloyd. Stan Dragoti's breezy direction lets it unfold and Hughes gimmicky material is quite snappy with its banter, but satirical with its vision (despite the silly slapstick) without losing any of its warm-hearted appeal.

FemmeFatale87 This movie was made in 1983, and was a big hit when it first came out. It showcases the work of two outstanding comedic actors: Teri Garr and Michael Keaton. Sadly, they are often unrecognized for the comedic talents. Especially Michael Keaton. But, one only has to watch "Mr. Mom" view the evidence and see these two great and legendary actors at their best. Not only is their family, including their 3 small children idealic-in a realistic way-absolutely adorable they are also incredibly entertaining. In short this is a 'fish out of water' tale. When Jack (Michael Keaton) loses his job working for a large automobile company his wife decides to get a job at and advertising company so that they won't suffer financially. While Caroline struggles initially with the drastic change she prevails and succeeds, although she soon encounters the pitfalls of being successful while having a family. Jack finds himself COMPLETELY out of his element and the events that ensue are hilarious! In the end, we find a happy ending that is so much a part of John Hughes films and the 80's era. Something I personally miss desperately in movies today. The soundtrack is also excellent, maybe not genius, but it meshes well with each scene and the overall feel of the film So sit back, and travel back to a better time. Enjoy Mr. Mom! It's a classic!
