Young marrieds get the John Hughes treatment, with the technical innovation (for him) of literal-minded fantasy scenes where his natural broadness has a built-in alibi ("So why did I feel like the world was closing in on me?" narrates the hero, as the walls of his office collapse like a trash-compactor). More accurately, only the young husband gets the Hughes treatment; the wife gets neglected by filmmaker and husband both. The educational content, however, is decently high; and the "cute" content, not including Kevin Bacon's pug nose and flyaway hair, is tolerable. The sudden dramatic turn of events in the delivery room, and the celebrity cameos in the closing credits, attest to Hughes's desperateness to give the customer his money's worth. With Elizabeth McGovern. (1988) — Duncan Shepherd
