Watches
February 03, 2024
One of those films I watched as a kid but never bothered to revisit. You watched it because it aired on TV and that was pretty much the only way to watch movies back then. It's not a film worth rewatching either, as it has aged terribly and whatever gimmick was funny back then has long lost its appeal.
Mollie is having an affair with a married man who won't leave his wife. Things get more complicated when she gets pregnant and faces the future as a single mom. The only man in her life is the cab driver who drove her to the hospital when she was about to go into labor. He takes an interest in Mollie and her kid, while she keeps on looking for a fitting dad.
The idea that the baby/toddler is commenting on the situation used to be quite funny, it just isn't anymore. Since the entire film rests on that single gimmick, there's not much left to enjoy. Travolta and Alley are pretty bad, the jokes are tiresome and the plot is negligible. At least it stopped after 90 minutes.
