Description
J.C. Wiatt (Keaton) thinks she has it all together. Beautiful and talented, she's on the road to certain success. So when an adorable baby girl comes into her life by way of a distant cousin's will, it's J.C. who breaks out in a rash! Juggling power lunches and powdered formula, she is soon forced off the fast track by a conniving colleague and a bigoted boss. But this lady won't stay down for long. She'll prove to the world that a woman can have it alland onher own terms too!

The writing-directing team of Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers (Father of the Bride) made this sweet satire about a high-powered yuppie executive (Diane Keaton) who unexpectedly becomes a mom and finds she can't successfully integrate the role into her busy life. Typical of the Shyer-Meyers films prior to Myers taking the director's reins on the wonderful Parent Trap, Baby Boom is a little wooden and more sentimental than genuine. But there are entertaining moments, for sure, and Keaton is a delight. --Tom Keogh

 WONDERFUL Movie October 31, 2008
This is Diane Keaton at her BEST! This is a fantastic movie, with great actors all around. It warms the heart, and makes you laugh, and leaves you wanting more.

Baby Boom
Great movie for a family night in or a couple looking for a movie to cuddle up to. Has many funny scenes and many that will touch your heart.
Definately a chick flick but not boring.

Baby Boom has to be considered a classic film of the 80s by now. It's like what "Sixteen Candles (High School Reunion Collection)" and "The Breakfast Club (High School Reunion Collection)" was for teens. Diane Keaton's character, a high powered executive consultant, gets an inheritance from the cousin: a baby! Although she wants to give the baby up for adoption (baby not in her plans), she grows to love the child and moves to the country to have a new life. She encounters interesting characters, love and humor. This is a great portrayal by Diane Keaton and makes me think of "Annie Hall". She is neurotic, funny and completely psychotic, just how Diane Keaton can play it. This character is like the precursor for her movie with Jack Nicholson, "Something's Gotta Give". This is a really good movie, full of laughs and good-hearted humor.

Very delightful and funny. I love the scenes between Diane Keaton and Sam Shepherd, especially when she tells him her problems, then realizing he is a vet. That scene is priceless.
