I remember seeing "Mr. Mom" in the movie theaters twenty years ago. It was a cute, harmless comedy. Whenever I think of Michael Keaton, I think of this movie. Michael Keaton stars as Jack Butler who falls victim to layoffs at the company he works for. His wife Caroline played by Terri Garr makes a bet with him over who gets a job first. Caroline manages to get a job at an advertising agency headed by Ron Richardson (Martin Mull). The only drawback is that Caroline hasn't worked in awhile so she is like a fish out of water at the company until she comes up with a snazzy ad campaign for tuna fish. In the meantime, Jack has to take over the role of housewife and learn to clean the house, take care of the children, fix dinner, do laundry, and go grocery shopping. It takes Jack awhile to adapt to the role of Mr. Mom but he has the help of Caroline's friends. The results is hilarious especially when Jack goes to the grocery store and loses one of his children. Another favorite moments is when the women and Jack are playing poker with grocery coupons or when they end up going to a Chippendale's nightclub. "Mr. Mom" is good, clean fun. Nothing offensive so it is perfect for children to watch. I still enjoy watching it after all these years.

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.

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.

Michael Keaton was really good in this movie. He plays Jack Butler who gets laid off from the car plant. His wife goes out and goes to work for an ad agency... Michael keaton shows a real kinship with the kids! Teri Garr was great as the working mother! She had to fight off a real sleezeball who wanted her to dump Jack so that she could marry him. Favorite Lines: "You ever talk to my kid like that again, I'm kocking you out!" "Where does Mommy keep the extra Diapers?" Happens after the baby gets into the can of chili. Other kids run from Jack! We see him go back in with the baby. Then we hear "Oh Meg!" Funny and classic comedy at its best!!!!

Even though this movie was made back in the 80's, it's still an enjoyable movie to see(even for the family). Micheal Keaton is fun to watch as a father trying to adjust to his new job, being at home full time taking care of his kids and the house. The children in this movie are not to be forgotten. They add to the laughs and fun for this movie. Enjoyed in the 80's and still enjoyed it in 2000.

One of my favorite actors is Michael Keaton, and one of my favorite movies, is "Mr. Mom". Yes, this movie is from the 80's -- but a great movie stays great forever -- and this movie is one of them. My husband and I had this movie on VHS, years ago -- and then just recently decided to repurchase the movie on DVD. We watched the movie again (after seeing it about half a dozen times), and enjoyed it just as much as we did in 1983, when we saw the movie for the very first time. We laughed and enjoyed seeing once again, the great acting of Michael Keaton, Teri Garr, and Martin Mull. The acting and storyline is just fantastic! If you are looking to smile and laugh, and just feel good for a couple of hours -- then I recommend buying and watching this movie! (By the way, you can never go wrong with a John Hughs movie! Remember "Breakfast Club"?!)
