Review of Mr. Mom (1983) by Daniel R — 11 Aug 2016

Laid off dad switches domestic roles with his wife in this one joke comedy. Instead of exploring the ever changing roles of the sexes, famous in the eighties, we get a cute title and a bunch of silly sight gags about dad's ignorance of how to use appliances, change a diaper and grocery shop.

We also get a dumb subplot where a flirty neighbor wanting to seduce the dad. It's harmless fun, but so much more could've been done to make a remarkable role reversal film (i.e. Tootsie) but instead the producers took the easy road.
