This month’s header is a celebration of the sleeper hit She’s Having a Baby which was a pleasant departure for John Hughes after his string of six teenager movies. I think it also marked Hughes’ decision to make more films involving adults (Planes, Trains & Automobiles and Uncle Buck) because he stopped making anything involving teen angst.
Back when I was with WMUR, we helped promote it via a cool guy named Chris (I wish I remembered his last name, he was a great person) that was interning with people involved in promoting movies. Oddly, I never got around to seeing Baby in theaters thanks to school and university-related distractions. I have watched it several times on VHS and maybe once or twice on cable. Loved it, since the story appears to be semi-autobiographical, thus some insight into the mind of John Hughes.
It’s on my Hulu list to watch. So I’m going to see if Baby holds up in the Internet Age.
