Baby Boom

Written by Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer and directed by Shyer, "Baby Boom" is a romantic comedy with an edge, starring the superb Diane Keaton as a driven Manhattan career woman who finds her life turned upside down when she "inherits" a baby. A semi-satiric fantasy unfurls as she loses her job and her yuppie boyfriend (Harold Ramis), moves with baby to a deeply picturesque -- if falling-down -- Vermont house, and meets a helpful Gary Cooper-ish vet (Sam Shepard).
