You can't go home again. Watching this proves it. I didn't see it until 35 years after its original broadcast. I should've given it a pass.
A movie called "She's Having a Baby" should give the titular character something to do other than wear the pregnancy pad and act bourgeois. Most movies in the late 1980s, including Betsy's Wedding and Pretty Woman, were really about the male lead actor rather than the titular characters. I can forgive them that, out of nostalgia if nothing else. But an actress as perceptive and talented as Elizabeth McGovern deserved more than this part gave her.
As for comparing it to the earlier films in the John Hughes ouevre ... hey, everybody has to grow up sometime. As someone who was eighteen when "Sixteen Candles" came out, I was a little old for his movies but enjoyed them nonetheless. I wasn't ready to be having a baby in 1988, but I felt he was proceeding with the generational coterie at a believable pace.
