Reinforcing traditional gender roles is the entire point of 1983's Mr Mom.

They had a great idea here. It's too bad they didn't follow it through on a human level, instead of making it feel made up and artificial and twice-removed, from the everyday experience it pretends to be about.

Sit-com material, ably done, with Keaton's off-kilter delivery a highlight.

The movie takes advantage of classic themes. [Full Review in Spanish]

It won't find its way onto any top ten lists of [John Hughes'] work, but it's far more enjoyable than the bulk of his '90s credits, and is anchored by a fun performance from a baby-faced Michael Keaton.

...benefits substantially from Keaton's almost unreasonably charismatic turn as the title character...

Audience Reviews for Mr. Mom

Feb 04, 2015Michael Keaton stars as Mr. Mom in this wacky family comedy. After getting laid off Jack Butler is forced to become a stay-at-home dad when his wife is able to find a job and he isn't. Teri Garr and Martin Mull co-star and give nice performances, but this is really Keaton's show and he delivers; bringing a lot of charisma and personality to the film. However, the writing is rather weak and relies too much on bumbling parent clichés and tropes. Additionally, the subplot about the wife's new job is poorly served and is awkwardly shoehorned into the film. But despite its problems, Mr. Mom is an entertaining romp with some good laughs.Dann M Super Reviewer
