Leave your thoughts about Baby Boom.
| Movie MomNell MinowMildly cute chick flick with a great performance by Sam Shepherd. |
| Portland OregonianTed MaharBaby Boom makes no effort to show us real life. It is a fantasy about mothers and babies and sweetness and love, with just enough wicked comedy to give it an edge. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasShyer and Meyers... are endlessly inventive. They're not afraid to be sophisticated and screwballish in the best '30s tradition, and they know just how far to exaggerate for laughs without leaving touch with reality entirely or destroying sentiment. The humor in Baby Boom is sharp without being heartless. |
| VarietyVariety StaffConstructed almost entirely upon facile and familiar media cliches about 'parenting' and the super-yuppie set, Baby Boom has the superficiality of a project inspired by a lame New York magazine cover story and sketched out on a cocktail napkin at Spago's. |
| DVDTalk.comScott WeinbergWith the ever-charming Keaton in the lead, the flick turns out to be as harmlessly entertaining as it is outlandishly unrealistic. |
| Filmcritic.comJason McKiernanKeaton is fabulous in roles like this, where she plays the nervous, infectiously-spastic independent woman who has needs, particularly when they are written with equal parts gushy sweetness and savage wit by Nancy Meyers |
| Miami HeraldBill CosfordBaby Boom isn't much more than a glorified sitcom, but it's funny, and it's liable to hit home. The reason: a devilishly good performance by Diane Keaton. |
| Radio TimesTom HutchinsonAllegedly pro-feminist, it still defines a woman by the males who influence her, though its mix of cuteness and acuteness makes it one of Keaton's most likeable films. |
| Empire MagazineWilliam ThomasA fine multi-layered romantic comedy with delightful, laugh-out-loud turns from the two leads. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonIf "Baby Boom" were a diaper, though, it would be disposable. |
