6/10
Mr. Mom
30 September 2023
Otis Foster (Victor Moore) is a barber college professor. His wife Emma Foster (Helen Broderick) is obsessed with coupons and contests. He's tired of noodles, noodles, noodles. That's when the noodles company calls. She's been invited to Atlantic City to compete in the Mrs. America contest for the $10k grand prize. It turns out that he does the cooking and all the house work. Louise Foster (Anne Shirley) is their daughter.

I can't tell if they actually love each other. I'm not saying that they hate each other. They need an early scene where their love is definitive. I really like the house work switcharoo idea. I just think that the premise would work better if they are more committed to each other. The movie generates more comedy in the second half. It's harmless and the Mr. Mom idea is almost forward thinking.
