Friday, August 22nd, 2008
Baby Boom is a 1987 comedy movie starring Diane Keaton.
The story behind it runs as such. Keaton plays J.C. Wiatt, a career woman in Manhattan whose work leaves her no time to relax. She doesn’t mind this hectic schedule - however it’s thrown into disarray when she has to inherit a baby from virtually unknown relatives. She has to care for the kid, losing her job and her lover in the process.
Wiatt tries to put the child up for adoption, but soon discovers she loves it too much. She has to reevaluate her life, and in response moves into the country, into a house she didn’t inspect beforehand. Upon moving in she discovers that the place is a mess, and, running out of money, she needs a solution.
Luckily she finds one. She begins selling baby products. And, despite a rough start, Wiatt makes a killing off of it. She soon receives an offer for her company - but she declines, deciding she can handle motherhood and the business.
Baby Boom was enough of a success that it spawned a spinoff television show, though the show was short-lived.
