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

Customer Reviews

Funny and great
Baby Boom has to be considered a classic film of the 80s by now. It's like what "Sixteen Candles (High School Reunion Collection)" and "The Breakfast Club (High School Reunion Collection)" was for teens. Diane Keaton's character, a high powered executive consultant, gets an inheritance from the cousin: a baby! Although she wants to give the baby up for adoption (baby not in her plans), she grows to love the child and moves to the country to have a new life. She encounters interesting characters, love and humor. This is a great portrayal by Diane Keaton and makes me think of "Annie Hall". She is neurotic, funny and completely psychotic, just how Diane Keaton can play it. This character is like the precursor for her movie with Jack Nicholson, "Something's Gotta Give". This is a really good movie, full of laughs and good-hearted humor.

Baby Boom
Very delightful and funny. I love the scenes between Diane Keaton and Sam Shepherd, especially when she tells him her problems, then realizing he is a vet. That scene is priceless.
