Plots(1)
Jack and Caroline Butler (Keaton and Garr) are perfectly happy with their roles in life until a layoff makes him a househusband and her a working wife! And while she wrangles with charts, graphs and an all-too-eager-to-be-wrangled boss, he has to contend with their hyper kids, a ravenous vacuum cleaner, an angry washing machine and an oversexed neighbor (Ann Jillian of TV's "It's A Living")! From late nights in the boardroom to lonely nights in the bedroom, the biggest challenge for both Jack and Caroline is learning to trust one another with their reversed roles which they'd better do quickly before Mr. Mom becomes Mr. Single Mom! (official distributor synopsis)

This is an enjoyable family comedy from the early 1980s, with an excellent Michael Keaton as the father who becomes a househusband. It's pleasantly funny, there's no unnecessary pressure and there are no downright heated situations that couldn't be turned into good, as is quite typical for John Hughes.
