Plot: 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...( read more read more... ) 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

    Baby Boom is a cute movie. The story of a workaholic career orientated woman played by Diane Keaton, gets the suprise of her life when she inherits a child from abroad. How her lifestyle changes due to a baby coming in her life is funny and hilarious. A great movie and adorable. :D I liked it alot.

    A woman who is career minded and 'inherits' a baby sounds abit twee but it turns out to be a good film. The romance between Diane Keaton and Sam Shepard has real chemistry.

    OMG, this is THE BEST 80's movie ever made. Diane Keaton is an amazing actress... then AND now. Something's Gotta Give was awesome, too.

    It's touching just like Father of the Bride is (although the latter is much better) and it also has the same sense of humor, probably one of the first "independent woman" movies.

    The first movie about single motherhood that proved you can be successful and have a family. It lead to the single mom revolution of the 1990's.

    I saw this as a kid, and I'm certain I didn't get it... But I felt a little weird about the notion of a woman working outside of the home.

    The write did some great work here on the idea that you can have it all just have to know what you want first. Must have to watch if your a working mom.

    I think it is really refreshing to see a movie about dealing with two jobs: city job and motherhood...I didn't give it five stars, because it doesn't necessary mean that you have to leave your job. when you have a baby....I loved the scene where Diane refused to take an offer from her previous bosses...This movie has serious girl- power :)....

    This is the career woman film of the 80's that I felt really tackled how women more so than men are challenged to be a mom,but yet also want to pursue a career. It presents it in an interesting way and shows how although its hard, it can be done. Love Diane Keaton

    Like all the Woody Allen movies she did, nothing Diane Keaton ever did was funny, like this piece of garbage.

    Ugh, Diane Keaton wailing and whining for 2 hours. You may as well visit a nursery school and tell the kids there is no Santa Claus for the auditory stimulation this piece of crap generates. Makes women without kids seem like simpering morons.

    Diane Keaton is smart and ditzy in equal parts in this greed is good 80's comedy. Of course she goes on to play this type of role a dozen or more times but hey its still a pleasure to watch.

    It is a little too much sugar-coated for my taste. I mean the girl figures out how to be a mom in less then a week. Yeah right. But it is sweet.
