Having seen Mr. Mom with my wife this last weekend, I feel like I need to share it with the net. We both found the film to be very funny, and it left us feeling good at the end. WARNING: The is no sex, violence, or bad language in this film. How they are ever going to make a profit is beyond me. :-) The film is about the family of a mech. engineer on a Detroit auto line who looses his job. His wife finds work before he does, and the story takes off. This film is probbly most enjoyable to parents of young children (<3yrs), but is good for anyone who has even babysat. don stanwyck : ..!ihnp4!ihuxr!stanwyck : 312-979-6667 : btl @ naperville, il

Went to see this the other nite. On a scale of 10, this gets a 7. Funny without being hysterical. Suitable for children, but I don't really think they'd enjoy it. A definite must for former babysitters or current mothers (they will be able to relate most to it). Let me put it this way: the above two groups will enjoy the movie because some of the scenes have ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO THEM. Others will enjoy the movie for the opposite reason: they will think "This is funny but it couldn't really happen..." Sorry, but I could not recall a nude scene in the movie. Or anybody using drugs. Or anything else detrimental. This film has an uphill battle because of this, I realize, but... GO SEE IT. It's funny. Rick Lindsley a former babysitter

I agree, this is a film that is worth going to see. Also if you havn't seen it yet, I recommend that you go and see Trading Places. Both of these films are just good fun.

Remember the scene in the bathroom where Michael Keaton had just changed his daughter's diaper? When he was drying her off, if she wasn't nude then, I don't know what to call it. Dave
