Sadly Over-hyped
Crappy film
Best movie of this year hands down!
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
View MoreAfter 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.
View MoreIn today's world it is only rich people and filthy rich people who do not have to worry about a regular 9 to 5 job. They don't have any social obligation to work as they possess a lot of money in their bank accounts which can be spent any time without any problems. For everybody else who claims not to be rich, a job is the best thing to be had as it helps a person to move ahead in life. Nobody can do anything in life without a job as a job enables people to experience financial security. Keeping these issues in mind, American director Stan Dragoti directed Mr. Mom-a light yet serious look at how the loss of job has tremendous emotional impact on a happily married couple with children. Actor Michael Keaton gives an incredible performance as an out of work man who is compelled to stay at home in order to look after his children. His acting is so natural that one is led to believe that not all men are incompetent as far as looking after a house and children are concerned. There are also men who are extremely good at looking after children when their wives are out at work. Despite the equality of sexes, Mr.Mom suggests that a mother is the best person for parenting as young children do miss their mothers. The tone of this film is light yet it has not eschewed serious issues such as why people are fired ?, How does the advertising industry work ? and apart from watching soap operas on TV, what can an unemployed person do spend time in a leisurely manner ?

View MoreThe family man loses his job and swaps roles with Susie Homemaker in this base, straight-ahead '80s family comedy. Michael Keaton was just entering the thick of his early comedic career here, and plays the lead with enthusiasm despite an exceptionally thin script. Through physical humor and an overdose of energy he's able to wring as much life as possible from several one-note scenes, but can't completely revive such a narrow concept. John Hughes gets the writing credit, but this effort is missing both the sharp wit of National Lampoon's Vacation and the warm, beating heart of his brat pack classics. It's telegraphed, generic and dated; a few scenes still work but the rest are thoroughly flat and fake.
