Movie Reviews of She's Having a Baby
Movie Review: Funny & Honest!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is told mostly from Kevin Bacon's (Jake)perspective through narration, a funny & pretty honest look at early married life. Many subtle jokes here, along with laugh out loud sight gags. It isn't just a comedy it works on different levels. Elizabeth McGovern(Cristy)is an attractive, yet reserved wife who is grounded, unlike her husband. Jake has questions..many questions, trying to figure out his life..and his wife. There is a genuine chemistry between them. Alec Baldwin is very good as Jake's bachelor friend. John Ashton is hilarious talking about garden hoses & lawnmowers! I am surprised so many people missed or skipped this film. The music ranges from Gene Loves Jezebel's "Desire" to Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work". The ending credit sequence has cameos from: Cast of Cheers & Ferris Bueller, Ally Sheedy, Magic Johnson & Dan Ackroyd. The DVD: It is 16:9 Anamorphic Widescreen, with 5.1 Dolby sound. I would rank the picture quality a Solid 4 and the sound a 5. Unfortunatly no extras, a Trailer. (Would have loved to hear a Bacon/McGovern or John Hughes commentary!) If you are a fan, don't hesitate picking up this DVD.(Plastic Keepcase)
Movie Review: Love, Marriage, Babies !
Summary: 5 Stars
One couple's journey from getting married to starting a family. Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern play the young couple just starting out. Very realistically portrayed, very "suburbia", and very surreal in places as well. Bacon and McGovern play well off each other. Alec Baldwin is even here, playing Kevin Bacon's roving Romeo of a best friend.Love the scenes featuring the in laws and the neighbors, too... the block party scene is priceless ! John Hughes does it again, but this outing is more "grown up" than his previous teen angst/high school-slice-of-life films such as "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" or "The Breakfast Club".
I have like many others been searching for the soundtrack on CD but alas it's unavailable. Too bad, because there are some great songs here including Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work" which will have you grabbing for that box of tissue during the scene which it is featured.
Movie Review: Mysterious symbols?
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, I understand the male and female symbols used on the movie logo.
Those represent the male and female viewpoints of the main two characters.
They are the traditional "Mars" and "Venus" symbols representing masculinity and femininity.
I also understand the last symbol representing "infinity", a never-ending loop symbolizing an ideal marriage that will last forever. Or maybe the propagation of "eternal life" by the offspring of the parents carrying on their genes into eternity.
But what is to be made of the star and dagger symbol???
Are these symbols somehow representing a conflict of religious values?
(The Star of David representing Judaism and a cross representing Christianity)
I haven't seen the movie in years but I don't remember a conflict in religious beliefs being part of the plot.

Movie Review: One of my All Time Favorite Movies
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a movie I watched over 10 years ago, but it has stayed with me and remains as one of my best-loved movies.
For all of us who have made the transition from adulthood to marriage to fatherhood and looking for that elusive Dummies' guidebook to help us along the way, this movie will have great resonance for you.
The inspired pairing of Kevin Bacon with Elizabeth McGovern as the happy couple and the incredibly suave Alec Baldwin as the covetous "best friend" sets the show up for an often hilarious but perceptive view of life and the choices we make. Look out for a great song by Kate Bush, written specially for the movie, played out against the backdrop of an anguish-ridden Kevin Bacon waiting outside the operating theater as Elizabeth McGovern undergoes emergency surgery. Don't miss this move!
Movie Review: An overlooked 80's classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie holds a special place in my heart. When we were living together, my then fiancee-now wife, and I found it on cable, and we saw so many parallels between the characters and ourselves that we just kept watching it. The movie helped me to understand that what we were feeling about life, and marriage, and eventually kids was normal and on some level, foolish. The movie is whimsical and at the same time deals with the anxieties in a normal, non-glamorous way-as if we are watching real people-but I do love the lawnmower "ballet".
The soundtrack is killer, especially Kate Bush & Gene Love Jezebel.
When our first was born via C-section, "This Woman's Work" just kept playing over and over in my head-just a beautiful and poignant song that just captures that moment perfectly.
