As a movie, great acting, great imagination and a good story line, considering that both husband and wife are separately tempted with adultery and come out knowing more about the true love they have for each other - how refreshingly different from most Hollywood fare! Me being only 5 years younger than Bacon, my wife and I first saw this movie as young marrieds/parents and thought it was a classic. It is still entertaining and my daughter who is now 22, married and is a new mom loves the movie too... I'm thinkin maybe that would make it timeless? And HOW did they get SO MANY famous 80's celebrities to come in for cameos on the credits??!!
MOST MEN, BY NATURE WANT A FAMILY, BUT SOMEWHERE, WAY ON DOWN THE ROAD. IT'S THE WOMEN THAT GET'S BABY FEVER, AND IN THIS MOVIE SHE HAS TO CONVINCE HER HUSBAND THAT IT'S TIME. WHEN THEY FINALLY ARE WITH CHILD, IT'S JUST SO FUNNY WATCHING THE HUSBAND (KEVIN BACON), WITH ALL THE UPS AND DOWNS OF BECOMING A FATHER. AND WHEN THE TIME COMES AND THE ALMOST TRADEGY, THAT OCCURS, THAT'S WHEN YOU SEE JUST HOW MUCH THE BABY REALLY MEANS TO HIM. IT'S A GREAT FAMILY MOVIE, A SWEET MOVIE TO WATCH.
We purchased this DVD because my fiance is having our first baby. She said she used to watch this when she was younger. It was better than I was expecting. It was very witty and touching at the same time. It would be good for any man who is scared about being a father to see this movie. It put a lot of my fears in perspective and it made me laugh(and cry...but only a little). This is also film maker Kevin Smith's favorite John Water's film. It's definately worth checking out!
