This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a typical 80s comedy film about a lady who finds herself juggling her work and being a mother to a distant relatives child she hadn't known about before. Its so 80s it includes jazzy saxophone solo's played in brief scenes between dialogue on screen, so it does appear perhaps a bit dated now but then it is over 30 years old I suppose. It is amusing at times and I found it an easy and entertaining watch.

The subject of mothers being demoted at work is sadly probably still an issue at times, although I like to think that society has moved on a bit in terms of such things in the 30 odd years since this was made, with one or two scenes of locals hitting on her seeming a little cheesy but that aside, I certainly enjoyed watching this film and found it an entertaining and enjoyable watch for the most part. I thought Diane Keaton did well in her role as the new found multi tasking mother, J.C. Wiatt. I would recommend this film. Also the thought that whoever the (or however many of the, I should probably say) baby/babies were in the film won't be much younger than me is a mildly sobering thought, as a young child of the 80s lol. Seriously though, the baby looks cute!.… Expand
