BABY BOOM
Description
J.C. Wiatt (Keaton) thinks she has it all together. Beautiful and talented, she’s on the highway to certain success. So when an darling baby lady comes in to her hold up by approach of a apart cousin’s will, it’s J.C. who breaks out in a rash! Juggling energy lunches and powdered formula, she is shortly forced off the fast lane by a conniving co-worker and a hypocritical boss. But this lady won’t stay down for long. She’ll infer to the universe which a lady can have it alland onher own conditions too!Amazon.com
The writing-directing group of Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers (Father of the Bride) done this honeyed joke about a high-powered yuppie senior manager (Diane Keaton) who suddenly becomes a mother and finds she can’t successfully confederate the purpose in to her bustling life. Typical of the Shyer-Meyers drive-in theatre before to Myers receiving the director’s reins on the smashing Parent Trap, Baby Boom is a small wooden and some-more nauseating than genuine. But there have been interesting moments, for sure, and Keaton is a delight. –Tom Keogh

Diane Keaton is a successful management consultant in NYC who “inherits” a baby from recently deceased relatives. She doesn’t want it, doesn’t know what to do with it–but can’t give it up either. So she takes it, quits her job, and moves to a farm in Vermont. She begins making baby food which sells like hotcakes, and meets Sam Shepard, a local vetinarian and down-to-earth guy. Given a chance to return to NYC with her baby food, she decides to stay on the farm. Totally unbelievable from the git-go, and Keaton is at her obnoxious worst.

Maybe you’d really like this film if you are nostalgic about the way Hollywood once portrayed rich people. It’s amusing to watch Diane Keaton and spouse cooped up in a miniscule, overpriced Manhattan co-op filled with chrome and glass furniture and talk about how much money they make and how many hours per week they work. If you are the sort who likes watching dozens of women in dorky dark skirts and helmet hair trotting to their next power lunch, this movie is for you, Mister (or Sister). The script achieves a few high points in its unintended humor (or irony) when we hear that Diane is paid “zillions” a year to tell investors that a company must trim “operating expenses” in order to “become profitable”.Into this odd “business is evil” morality play comes a baby for whom Diane eventually develops maternal feelings, as well as a rugged country dude who can give her what she “really needs”. Who knows? Even the bad 80′s music groups have nostalgia value. Maybe this movie is next.

The idea behind this movie was really great. Imagine the tiger lady who became a devoted mother…. This film was supposed to show us that family and children are more important than all the money and any career in the world. It was supposed to show some humor, make people laugh, and warm one’s heart. But it failed to accomplish anything! First of all, she did not transform from business lady to a mother. The movie showed me a bright and sharp working woman who was transformed to a humiliated and miserable creature. She was taken from her regular life style in New York City to this far away country, a forest, were she does not belong, where she does not have anyone. She met there a vet whom she did not like to begin with and who completely had nothing to do with her. But eventually she “fall in love” with him ONLY because he was the only single man under sixty around! The character of this guy was absolutely not developed; we are not shown anything about him. He behaved like a piece of wood; he expressed nothing…. Because this movie was unable to SHOW us all this. The movie did not show us how she loved Vermont. It did not show us that her baby was happy there. It did not show us clearly that she was a TIGER lady. This why it had explicitly to tell us all this through the voice behind the screen or through her final speech. What a poor job! The plot has too many holes. She purchased a home in VERMONT? She could buy the same house in upstate New York or in Long Island and continue her job in the same company without sacrificing her life style. She could not find a normal baby sitter in New York? Give me a break! This movie deserved only one star for good music. Clearly, the movie does not worth watching or buying. In addition to all that, the DVD picture quality was really bad. If you want to see this movie you better rent it first. If you love this movie you better buy it on videotape….

I ask for this item because the description says that contains the spanish audio. And it is not true. I claimed for that. They send me another one (that I didn’t ask for) and I didn’t send back the other one (because it was a gift for my friend, and my friend went out of the country next day). I had to pay for two DVD’s because I tried to cancel the order, but they said to me that they can’t cancel the order. I stop buying DVD’s to avoid this.

If you’ve ever moved from New York to Vermont, you will truly enjoy the authentic insight this movie has into living and trying to get work out of the locals!
