Review of Mr. Mom (1983) by Jordan K — 13 Jul 2015

This is definitely one of those comedies that suffers from the passing of time. That era is gone especially for the dad side. It's really superficially silly now especially the home and grocery stuff at the beginning.

It was probably a little silly back then as well. The mom side of the movie is still good. As he gets more into housewife mode, it gets more realistic. The movie's heart is always in the right place.

John Hughes is able to write a very nice light hearted family movie for his first big hit.
