Continuity mistake: When Carolyn leaves the house for her first day of work the sun is out, then it begins thundering and raining. It's pouring while Jack takes the kids to school. When Carolyn gets to work, the camera shows a far back shot of her new office building and the streets and all are clearly dry - she could work in a different part of town, but then when she gets in the elevator, which is made of glass and on the outside of the building, it's soaking wet from the rain.

-100/10. Possibly one of the worst movies of the 80's. What was the studio thinking when they greenlit this trash? Teri Garr reached her peak with Young Frankenstein then went downhill. Michael Keaton's just as stiff here as he is in everything he does. I loathed this movie. The incompetent husband/father who can't do squat as a stay at home dad at first while his wife succeeds with ease. Right, like they both wouldn't struggle and she wouldn't help him out or have friends help. Martin Mull should've known better. If anything, I only liked Ann Jillian as the sexy neighbor though her interest in Keaton baffled me.

Answer: Black armbands are a traditional sign of mourning, though not widely used today. They are wearing them to mourn for Jack.
