To watch Mr. Mom is to willfully engage in an act of cognitive dissonance. On one hand, you’ve got Michael Keaton in fine form, wryly bringing John Hughes’ screwball antics to life and surely putting a smile on even the toughest customer’s face. In perpetually cozy TBS…
anna nomalyNov 11, 2017all the reviews on here are so dramatic like yeah it’s dated it’s from the 80s but guess what it’s michael keaton and he’s my DAD SO SHUT UP!!!
sarahNov 11, 2026"220, 221, whatever it takes" -Jack Butler It’s definitely a charming 80s movie I can tell you that. I know the plot isn’t anything too special and it can be pretty dated, but I think it makes up for that with its comedy. I’ve always loved…

Perfect film.
Matt GourleyJan 20, 2021One time my family ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut, and it came with this DVD in a little paper sleeve. It felt right.
alexmwinfreyOct 19, 2020Mr. Mom is what made me love Michael Keaton so much. Felt like a feel-good movie tonight. I can relate to Kenny when it comes to the woobie blanket. Mine was similar to the one in the film. Love it when Keaton turns into a slob and watches soap operas and when he…

“You wanna beer?” “It's 7 o'clock in the morning.” “Scotch?” Worth watching for that joke alone.
AlexAug 27, 2015Succeeding both as a universally enjoyable comedy and an endearing document of its era, the John Hughes-scripted, Micheal Keaton-starring "Mr. Mom" is fully appealing piece of work. A domestic and economic comedy, the film offers a well-composed and well-cast observation of…

- Iso likedMr. Mom
6.5/10 Classic 1980s comedy that’s makes fun of stay at home dads without relying too heavily on misogyny. I didn’t like the ending but I tend to feel that way about films. It is a super overdone story/trope but I still enjoyed it. Though I wouldn’t watch again.
Render likedMr. MomOk this one was really good it goes to show how one must communicate and put in effort in order to have a stable household and try ur best… overall funny i liked this movie although there was some miscommunication
Ingrid Gonzalez is "meh" onMr. MomJohn Hughes movies are REALLY hit or miss with me. This one just screamed 80s suburbia. In the worst way. Not all that funny or entertaining. Pretty mid.
- Marshall Scott likedMr. Mom
Those might be an unpopular option but this Is a guilty pleasure movie of mine. Just a good old school family film about a stay-at-home dad. 7/10
Mickerdoo likedMr. MomIncompetence and poor communication was pretty thick. I get a depressed period but the house was in tatters. Not nostalgic about it.
Orlando Ramone lovedMr. MomAnother absolutely hilarious and touching movie written by the great John Hughes about his own experiences being a stay at home dad.
- Angie Lankford lovedMr. Mom
I cannot emphasize enough how great this movie is. Funny and heartwarming and the perfect look at life in the 80s.👍🏻👍🏻
Scott Fausel lovedMr. MomFavorite Michael Keaton performance. An absolute classic and incredible encapsulation of the 1980s.
Arsal likedMr. MomKeaton carries it with charm, and for a light '80s comedy, it works.

They had a great idea here. It's too bad they didn't follow it through on a human level, instead of making it feel made up and artificial and twice-removed, from the everyday experience it pretends to be about.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Mr. Mom would be funny if it had jokes. That's not so self-evident as it sounds, because it's not a claim that every failed comedy can make. The actors here, Mr. Keaton and Teri Garr, are likable and bright, and the situation has possibilities. Very little is made of them, except for such predictable developments as Jack's going to the supermarket with the kids in tow, and knocking over soup cans and fruit.
