This is a good movie about women and the workplace, it has an excellent cast, and it's funny too. I really liked this movie, and I highly recommend it.

Diane is a busy business woman who's life is turned upside down when a baby comes along. She retires to the country where she has a bottomless pit of a house. She falls for a vet. She makes baby food which she sells across the country. Funny movie.

80's films, comedies in particular, seem to be exempt from having to make and sense and be anywhere near plausible, in fact many are all the better for it. Not Baby Boom though, Baby Boom is absolute crap, is insulting and boarders on child abuse (any child having to spend longer... read more

Adorable story about how a terribly hard working executive inherits a baby from her dead cousin's family and makes her own business of selling applesauce. Very good constructed script, and Diane Keaton's performance was just fantastic!!!

Critic Reviews
With the ever-charming Keaton in the lead, the flick turns out to be as harmlessly entertaining as it is outlandishly unrealistic. Full Review
Delightfully funny and honest
So-so comedy with Keaton still straining to keep up with her post-Woody Allen career.
A wonderful performance from Diane Keaton pulls the movie through.
Comedy starring Diane Keaton about a Yuppie who tries to have it all in life. Full Review
Nice performances by Keaton and Sam Shepherd almost give this anemic comedy the energy it lacks.
Mildly cute chick flick with a great performance by Sam Shepherd.
