Jack and Caroline are a couple making a decent living when Jack suddenly loses his job.
They agree that he should stay at home and look after the house while Caroline works.
It's just that he's never done it before, and really doesn't have a clue...
This is one of those fish out of water movies, that is really only funny thanks to Keaton and the chemistry he has with the children.
Hughes has gone for the predictability factor with this, and although it's very pleasing to watch, you cannot help but feel that a wealth of better material could have been added.
we have the boss who wants to marry Keatons wife,the inevitable watching of the soaps (which is quite funny) and of course, men do not know how to use household appliances.
But Keaton pulls this out of the doldrums, and thank heavens he has such a great supporting cast.
The narrative flows freely and makes the film easier to digest, but one cannot feel tat this could have been so much more.
At least this doesn't have much of a Chance of being re-made, as it wouldn't be very original or unique now.
