February 26, 2011Hughes writes and directs this comedy drama of a young married couple. It is mostly dramatic, but it does have a good amount of humour throughout the film, which makes it really enjoyable. It's a good film.

February 2, 2011Okay, not the greatest John Hughes movie of course. Watching movies like this make me wonder why some people get married in the first place and it makes me feel lucky to have such a positive relationship, the fights are so stupid!

August 10, 2009This is John Hughes comic tale about a young man's struggle to mature in the face of marriage and impending fatherhood.

December 30, 2009I think John Hughes should have stuck writing for teenagers when he made this movie. Of course he's writen a lot of movies with older casts that are great, this movie just didn't coalesce for some reason. I didn't understand the surreal dream segments in this film either.

The Hughes formula at its thinnest.

Ian Waldron-Mantgani, UK Critic
It should have been the movie where Hughes got Oscar nominations; the Academy weren't going to award his comedies, but here is where he showed he could branch out and grow up.

When good Hughes goes bad.
