She’s Having a Baby ** (1988, Kevin Bacon, Elizabeth McGovern, Alec Baldwin) – Classic Movie Review 7985

Writer-director John Hughes’s blandly amusing 1988 comedy She’s Having a Baby stars Kevin Bacon as the newlywed having second thoughts about his marriage to Elizabeth McGovern and forthcoming fatherhood.

The pleasing stars do their best with the trite script but just not enough to convince us that these are real people with real problems.

She’s Having a Baby aims at being a smart romantic comedy drama but ends up as just another Eighties tale of teenyboppers trying to cope with the responsibilities of growing up and not making a very good job of it.

Also in the cast are Alec Baldwin, Isabel Lorca, William Windom, Cathryn Damon, Dennis Dugan, Holland Taylor, Reba McKinney, Bill Erwin, Paul Gleason, James Ray, and Edie McClurg.
