She's Having a Baby
(1988)
Written and directed
by John Hughes this film stars Kevin Bacon, Elizabeth McGovern and
Alec Baldwin. After getting married straight out a college a young
man struggles to get to terms with adult life.
The plot of this film
is a pretty standard coming of age tale set around a quarter life
crisis. Mostly the film is well done and no doubt having a child can
have a transformative effect on people but I'm not sure you should
necessarily pose it as the answer to everyone's relationship
problems. Where the film is strongest is in showcasing that John
Hughes style of comedy with some great flights of fancy that never
lose sight of the drama.
4/5
