Baby Boom (DVD)

Diane Keaton is one of those film stars you always expect to play serious parts. To be the nice mommy or even the tough businesswoman, I never expect her to be funny in a film. But, if you think about it she’s always cropping up in comedies, and those are most of the films she does. She’s done the first and second Father Of The Bride, First Wives Club, and who can forget Baby Boom? Baby Boom was made in the late eighties, and Diane Keaton became even more popular after it. I enjoy the film so much because I feel I’m a bit like the main character, even though she’s female, I can relate to her, and when you can relate to a ...  Read the complete review

Whenever I feel the need of comfort, I love to get 'Baby Boom' off the video shelf, get a nice glass of white wine and curl up under a blanket on my sofa to watch this charming 106 minute film in a Romantic/ Comedy genre. **Plot ** 'Baby Boom' documents the life of super-yuppie J.C.

Baby Boom is a great film for a Sunday afternoon when its cold and miserable outside. I bought this DVD a few months ago when i saw it in HMV for £3, i decided to buy it because i had never seen it before, and it was so cheap. I had never heard of the film before, but decided i would give it a watch. So whats the film about? Diane Keaton who plays J.C Wyatt is a very successful career woman who has it all. A great job with potential of becoming partner and shares a great appartment in New York with her successful boyfriend. J.C could never see children in her future because she was committed to her work. So one day when she gets an unexpected call ...  Read the complete review

Baby Boom is a nice enough gentle comedy that relies on a cute baby to provide some of the humour. Based in New York Diane Keaton stars as J.C. Wyatt a successful career woman who has it all, well at least she thinks so, a fabulous apartment which she shares with her boyfriend, the very real prospect of being a partner in her firm and a job that occupies all of her day and most of her free time as well. When she finds out that she is in the will of a distant relative from England she assumes she will get a pen however she is shocked to find out that actually it is a baby which is handed over to her at the airport. Now I know our social services can be a bit ...  Read the complete review

The writing-directing team of Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers (Father of the Bride) come up trumps with this little gem. Diane Keaton is flawless as J.C. Wyatt, a hard nosed business woman who inherits a thirteen month old baby, called Elizabeth, completely out of the blue, when a distant relative dies. Needless to say many amusing scenes with nappies falling off and the baby throwing food ensue. However, J.C. soon discovers that she can't carry on working the way she has been and give Elizabeth all the love and attention she needs? What will J.C. put first, her career or Elizabeth? Baby Boom also stars Sam Shepard (Pelican Brief), Harold Ramis ...  Read the complete review
