Joan Rivers's directorial debut, a situation comedy whose untenable situation centers around the world's first pregnant man. Rivers, herself a mother, surrounds the two birth scenes with unexpectedly reverent invocations of God and Country. Most of the time, though, her cinematic style closely copies the breathless, blurting delivery of her stand-up style. There is no shortage of jokes, especially of ethnic-slur jokes; but put into the hands of a rowdy TV-Movie-of-the-Week cast, her humor loses all the personal charm that emanates from her carefully nurtured Jewish angst. With Billy Crystal and Joan Prather. (1978) — Duncan Shepherd
