Movie Reviews of Baby Boom
Movie Review: A professional mother.
Summary: 5 Stars
Baby Boom starring one of the greatest actress' of all time, Diane Keaton is a sweet, heartwarming film about a successful businesswoman who gets an unexpected surprise... a baby! One of her relatives dies and she is held responsible for looking after and raising Elizabeth, a cute little girl who forever changes the life of J.C. Wyatt (Keaton). The film also stars a young and conniving business associate James Spader and Sam Shepard who plays a potential love interest for J.C. halfway through the film after J.C. deicides to leave her high-paying job and move to the "quiet" country, a place she has always dreamt of living. This is Keaton's signature and best role I think, of course I love her in Annie Hall but there is something special about her performance in Baby Boom that keeps me coming back to watch this delightful little film. I highly recommend this boom of a film.Movie Review: Sweet, great movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is such a great movie! Probably considered a "chick flick" but my husband will sit and watch it too. It's just really nice to see a high powered businesswoman such that Keaton plays suddenly be placed in the position of raising her cousin's child. It's a wakeup call too for those of us who love the busy businesswoman's life and how much time it actually does take. It's just nice to see her leave a high-paying job in a "boys club" atmosphere and buy a house in the country. When she goes back to same company for a business opportunity, each employee remarks on how great she looks, probably more rested! It's an inspiring movie to watch and very nice to just sit back and not think for awhile. Great movie and I highly recommend it!Movie Review: This Movie Makes You Want To Watch Over & Over Again!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Once you watch this movie, you'll know how great chemistry Diane Keaton and the baby Elizabeth (played by Kristina & Michelle Kennedy twins) have. I'm so amazed by how awesome the baby(s) acted. Elizabeth cried, laughed, and smiled at the right part, and interacting with Diane (and also other co-stars) so well. My favorite part (the most touching part) of this movie is when Diane decided to keep Elizabeth. Diane says, "Don't expect too much.", and Elizabeth says, "Ok." with clapping her tiny hands. I just love this movie. If you like a good/heartwarming story with a baby (or a kid), you'll enjoy this movie!Movie Review: Motherhood and Career - Who Wins?
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie takes me back to the high powered 80s when career was everything and women were expected to choose - motherhood or career. It is still that way, but many women are choosing to be "stay at home" moms as career pressures grow. It makes me wonder why the US isn't more family and child care centered. Maybe someday?
This movie is a fun story about Diane Keaton ending up as a mom without any planning and having motherhood temporarily derail her career. She finds another avenue to have both. It is very sweet and still sends a message we need to hear.
Movie Review: Baby Boom - a joy!
Summary: 5 Stars
A career woman learns the joys and pitfalls of career/motherhood. One has to go, and she moves to a rural area into a money pit. Frustrations, house problems, lonliness, joy in her child, and a lack of purposefulness send her into the world of entrepreneurship, and she finds that there is much more to life than corporate America. Of course, a handsome vetrinarian doesn't hurt, either.
It will make you laugh, cry, and identify with many of her problems, whether you have children or you are simply a career woman with decisions to make.
