The premise for the film is a simple one, Keaton plays J.C. Baby Boom was directed by Meyers then husband Charles Shyer and it starred alongside Keaton, Sam Shepard, and Harold Ramis. I have never finished a Meyers film and been disappointed, always happy, and uplifted. That’s some list, her scripts are always so satisfying full of humour and heart and happy endings. She always attracts great performers having worked with Keaton a number of times, Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, Helen Hunt, Mel Gibson, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Cameron Diaz and more recently Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro. I don’t think there is a Meyers film I don’t like she is one of those reliable filmmakers that I know I can count on to deliver. She wrote and produced this film and you may be familiar with some of her other stellar work Father of the Bride, The Parent Trap, The Holiday, to name a few. I am a huge fan of Diane Keaton and I’m pretty sure it stemmed from this, I have just re-watched the film for the first time in a number of years and realised for the first time one of the big reasons I love this film Nancy Meyers. So you could say I grew up with this film, it is my idea of a perfect cosy Sunday afternoon movie. For whatever reason, Baby Boom was always on TV during the holidays when I was a kid, whether it be Easter or a bank holiday, it would be on and I always watched it, every time.
