        Michael 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.

        A cute and funny family film with two great comedy actors: Keaton and Garr. I really liked this movie.
