SHE'S HAVING A BABY (1988)
JOHN HUGHES
Plot
Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern star as a yuppie couple on the verge of parenthood in this film from Brat Pack auteur, John Hughes. In what appears to be a self-conscious effort to stay relevant with the aging audience of his earlier Crazy Kids' pictures, Hughes portrays the (ulp!) realistic problems facing millions of rich, white middle-class kids across America. What do we call our heir? What colour shall we paint his/her en suite bathroom? Blue or pink? How can Kevin spend more time with his family when he should be making a killing on Wall Street? How frilly a maternity blouse can Elizabeth McGovern get away with wearing? All these questions and more will be answered if you watch this nauseating, unconvincing romantic drama.
