Reinforcing traditional gender roles is the entire point of 1983's Mr Mom.

They had a great idea here. It's too bad they didn't follow it through on a human level, instead of making it feel made up and artificial and twice-removed, from the everyday experience it pretends to be about.

Sit-com material, ably done, with Keaton's off-kilter delivery a highlight.

... a slapstick consideration of gender roles in the early 1980s.
