Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
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

DVD Description
The life of super-yuppie J.C. is thrown into turmoil when she inherits a baby from a distant relative.

3.0 out of 5 stars Faultless performance of Diane Keaton., 19 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Baby Boom [VHS] [1987] (VHS Tape)
It is difficult to put a finger on the reason why this film works and is so entertaining - and the only factor I can put it down to is the faultless performance of Diane Keaton in a role in which she takes the persona which she created in "Annie Hall" a few stages further. It may also have something to do with the fact that it never really seems to attempt to take itself seriously, lapsing into pure modern-day fantasy after the initial shock in which high-powered yuppie executive Keaton "inherits" her late sister's baby daughter. Thereafter, everything falls so perfectly into place for Keaton - after quitting her job, she has sufficient funds to buy a huge Vermont estate - she falls in love with the only under-50 man who appears to live in her community and who also happens to have an affinity for the child - she founds a cottage business which becomes a multi-million dollar concern during the course of only a few months. The impression which the picture gives you at the outset that it was to deliver some profound message about the role of women and motherhood in modern society is never fulfilled, simply because the fantasy takes over so completely from what one had assumed to be a story to be based in the real world, and the attempt at moralising at the end falls flat on its face in the light of all that has happened before. But perhaps, this is expecting too much from the picture - if it had dealt with reality, it wouldn't have been half as entertaining and wouldn't have given free rein to all of Keaton's acting talents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Favourite Film of All Time, 9 Aug 2002
By Elly (Gloucestershire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This film is my absoulute favourite. I have watched it so many times I know all the words - sad, I know. It's definately a film for anyone who likes a bit of sentimentality and cheese and is watchable repeatedly, so worth getting on DVD. Probably a girls film really.

The story is about the savvy buisiness woman (Diane Keaton) who inherits a distant relatives baby and has to change her life to accomodate her. It's got a cheezy happy ending which always cheers me up!

Also stars Sam Shepard (Pelican Brief), Harold Ramis (Spengler - Ghostbusters), James Spader (Stargate), Pat Hingle (Commisioner Gordon - Batman) and Sam Wanamaker.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth a Look, 29 Sep 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Baby Boom [VHS] [1987] (VHS Tape)
I adore this movie, not only is it a Diane Keaton movie, which guarantees a leading actress with flare, charisma and talent, but there is also the endearing Elizabeth, the baby who ends up on Keaton's doorstep. This movie is worth seeing just for the scene where Elizabeth gets a cold and Keaton has to take a valium just to take the baby's temperature!
This movie shows that women can have it all, not just one choice or the other, even if it means changing house, state and men to get it.
This film is well worth seeing just for the final scene, it always makes me cry, Elizabeth turns to Keaton and says her first word, "Mama", it gets me every time....
