MR. MOM (1983)
Michael Keaton loses his job, grows a beard and a gut, gets sucked into daytime soaps, plays poker with the gals, and becomes otherwise emasculated as a stay-at-home dad long before stay-at-home dads had a name. One of John Hughes' first (and finest) scripts, Mr. Mom introduces what will become the maestro's signature blend of humor and heart. Chris Nashawaty
