Baby Boom (DVD)

...turmoil when she inherits a baby from a distant English relative. She appears ‘to have it all’: money, a successful job, great education plus a steady relationship. Diane Keaton plays the notable businesswomen, J.C. whose life is turned upside down with the arrival of a baby-in-arms (literally). The baby is a thirteen-month old girl called Elizabeth. I wonder if Elizabeth was chosen to emphasise the British connection! Baby Boom is a funny yet in ...
...her new venture with a baby food product. 4) Selfishness A must have society, treading on the weak to succeed. Even in the Vermont town money is important. Outsiders of the town are exploited for monetary gains. E.g. J.C. and her need for a competent workman/handyman. Visitors to the store wanted to buy the ‘Gourmet Baby Food’. As to recounting scenes, well I would rather not spoils the plot any further The movie ‘Baby Boom’ makes me feel uncomfortable ...

Review of Baby Boom (DVD)

...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 character in a film, you immediately love it! Baby Boom is a touching story that’ll have you pitying, hating, laughing at, loving, crying over and most ...
...her will is a three-year-old baby named Elizabeth, and J.C is expected to look after her… J.C immediately plans to give the baby up for adoption, because her work is suffering, and it is obvious she hasn’t got any maternal instinct at all, and she isn’t a very good Mother to Elizabeth. After taking Elizabeth to adoption clinic, she pulls out, and can’t do it. But, little did J.C know that a baby could ruin your whole life. ...

Review of Baby Boom (DVD)

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 ...
...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 shoddy but even this stretches the reality threshold. Cast List Diane Keaton ... J.C. Wiatt Sam Shepard ... Dr. Jeff Cooper Harold Ramis ... Steven Buchner Kristina Kennedy ... Elizabeth Wiatt Michelle Kennedy ... Elizabeth Wiatt Sam Wanamaker ... Fritz Curtis James Spader ... Ken Arrenberg Pat Hingle ... Hughes Larrabee Britt Leach ...

...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 (Spengler - Ghostbusters), James Spader (Stargate), Pat Hingle (Commisioner Gordon - Batman) and Sam Wanamaker. This DVD is single disc with a ...
...is worth watching for the scene when J.C. has to take a valium before she can check the baby's temperature and for the final scene [which always makes me cry]. This is a lovely film, a bit heavy with the sentimentality at times and not completely realistic, but if some escapism is that you're after then this is it. However, a word of warning, this is definitely one for the girls!! In my experience boys do not take kindly to being made to sit through ...
