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

Diane Keaton is great in this role, but her life decisions are completely mad, and her self awareness is non-existant. I wouldn’t recommend this movie to anybody. Dated movie with a few funny moments.

Diane Keaton n'est déjà en soi pas une actrice facile, ce qui signifie qu'elle est souvent difficile à supporter. Aussi, la voir en "super-business-woman" avec un chiard gueulard dans les bras à l'insu de son plein gré nous estDiane Keaton n'est déjà en soi pas une actrice facile, ce qui signifie qu'elle est souvent difficile à supporter. Aussi, la voir en "super-business-woman" avec un chiard gueulard dans les bras à l'insu de son plein gré nous est particulièrement pénible. Surtout dans une comédie qui tire très fort sur la corde sensible de la niaiserie mais également sur celle de "vidéogag" en folie... et last but not least cette pitoyable connerie dure pas loin de deux heures ! putain, sans déconner, deux heures ! bon ok 1h50 soit deux moins dix minutes. Putain de meeeerde.… Expand

Diane Keaton nails another role. I'm not surprised in the least. Unfortunately, Baby Boom falls flat periodically. The potential is there, but this is not a great film.
