...school dropout whose comic routines are pointed reminiscences of his own failures as a student. Lilah (Sally Field), a New Jersey housewife with a yen for humor, fails miserably at first at the business of being funny. She resorts to time-worn Polish jokes--you know the type: "My husband's Polish. He gave me something long and hard when we got married...a last name."

Both husband and wife hold jobs in 57% of U.S. couples with children, up from 43% in 1978. In 1950 only 12% of mothers with children under six years old worked outside the home; more than 57% do so now. Over the past ten years, in fact, the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. labor force has been mothers of children younger than three years old. More than half of these women have jobs...
