You had me at the opening blurb, lol! Funny and wonderfully detailed takedown of a movie I've never seen -- and never plan to, especially now. Wow, even the greats make some duds.

Thanks, Joy. I existed as a film geek for thirty-five years without having seen "She's Having a Baby" and other than "Curly Sue"--which I'm better off pretending never happened--this is the only film Hughes directed I hadn't seen. What else can be said except that both Bacon and McGovern look like they've only aged about 3 or 5 years over the last 35 years.
