 Movie is Great DVD is Disapointing, 2002-08-15
I love this movie. Being a Mr. Mom myself with 2 boys "and a Job" I relate to this movie very much. But I am dissapointed in the fact that MGM does not have a wide screen version of this movie. I am also disapointed in the special features or lack there of. I am a DVD lover and I look forward to the extras that DVD's offer. But if you don't have a widescreen TV and an elaborate sound system and you like the movie than go ahead an buy it. Otherwise get the VHS

"Your Doing It Wrong....", 2002-03-13
This 1983 comedy is a real gem. No matter what the one star reviews below so ignorantly say. It's definitley one of the best jobs Michael Keaton has ever done. The movie has funny written all over it. It's too bad the people down below have no sense of humor. Keaton stars as Jack Butler, a man who is laid off from his job. As soon as he is, his wife(Teri Garr)decides to go back to work and gets a great job. Poor Jack is now home dealing with all of the normal,everyday things that you usually do. He is raising the kids, doing the dishes, laundry, making dinner. He has even started to watch soaps and hang out the neighborhood ladies. Grocery shopping is a nightmare for him. The review on this page stated that the movie is sexist. Please. People make arguments over something that's not even there. Sigh. This movie has many classic scenes as well as dialogue that you can repeat over and over. The supporting cast includes a number of familiar faces : Martin Mull, Jeffrey Tambor, and Christopher Lloyd. This is a wonderful family comedy that deserves a lot more attention than it got. Don't let the negative reviews sway you from seeing a sweet,charming comedy. Good and funny.
 your mind will turn to mush., 2001-12-12
could a movie be more insulting to both sexes? jack can hardly tell left from right; caroline is promoted to her position because her boss is instantly obsessed with her. this movie encompasses all that is frightening about the 1980s. the only moment at which mr. mom captured any portion of truth is within the discussion jack and caroline have about their minds turning to oatmeal. if you watch too much of this movie, yours will too.

 Keaton is masterful, 2001-01-16
After he burst off the screen in Night Shift, Michael Keaton was given his first leading role in this film. He plays Jack Butler who designs and builds cars for a big Detroit auto maker. Due to cutbacks, he is laid off from his job. His wife, played by Teri Garr, has been a housewife to their three kids and hasn't worked in years. Jack and her make a bet as to who will get a job first. Of she does and Jack is forced to stay at home and watch the kids. He obviously has no idea how tough the job is and the film goes through his transformation from an inept house dad to a growing into the role. Some hilarious scenes include a trip to the supermarket gone awry, Jack's addiction to soap operas and his confrontations with his wife's smug boss played with oily charm by Martin Mull. Teri Garr is very funny as is Ann Jillian as her best friend. The real star is of course Mr. Keaton, who shows he cannot only be funny, but touching and caring. a first rate performance.

mr. mom, 2001-01-10
This movie is about a guy named Jack that loses his job at a car factory. Jack thinks he will be able to get a job easy and he bets his wife a hundred dollars that he can get a job before her. She ends up getting a job at an advertising place. Which makes it so he has to stay home with the kids. Jack has no clue about anything that he has to do like grocery shopping, taking the kids to school, and doing laundry. Jack's wife's boss tries getting her to marry him. The movie was most likely extremely funny during the time it was made, but to watch it now it is very boring and definitely not funny. But this is also just my opinion. The stuff that is suppose to be funny is actually just plain stupid, like Jack cooking a cheese sandwich with a iron or having the TV repair person come see what's wrong with his TV after he kicked his foot through the screen.
