Diane Keaton (Annie Hall) is in most sensible comedic form within the Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer scripted Baby Boom directed by Shyer (Father of the Bride, Irreconcilable Differences).
Keaton is New york business dynamo J.C. Wiatt whose life is turned the wrong way up when she’s given custody of a toddler from a deceased relative. Soon she’s trading big town life for small the city domesticity when she loses her boyfriend (Harold Ramis, Ghostbusters), her job and any sense of normalcy and moves to Vermont to tackle a brand new role … motherhood.
Rounding out the forged are Sam Shepard (Steel Magnolias) as J.C.’s romantic interest, James Spader (Pretty in Pink), Sam Wanamaker (Irreconcilable Differences), Pat Hingle (Batman) and TV’s Saturday Night Live alums Victoria Jackson and Mary Gross.
