Baby Boom Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
"Baby 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.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Mildly cute chick flick with a great performance by Sam Shepherd.
Chicago Tribune
Dave Kehr
Shyer's direction of actors rises instantly to a level of cartoonish hysteria and descends only for occasional wet bursts of sentimentality.
New York Daily News
Kathleen Carroll
The script is too coy and calculating. But watching Keaton romp through "Baby Boom" is a special treat.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
There's just something irresistible about a major star dropping his or her guard and going full-out in the service of a comic romp.
Miami Herald
Bill Cosford
It's a big bundle of fluff - you don't know whether to sit there and watch or charge the screen and tickle its itsy nose - but it's power-fluff.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Michael H. Price
This smug exercise seems tailor-made for Keaton, who mugs shamelessly through all the sloppy sentimentality as if rehearsing an Oscar acceptance speech.
Detroit Free Press
Kathy Huffhines
Ultimately, "Baby Boom" is a bust because the writers took the baby out of the boom instead of taking the boom out of the baby.
Arizona Republic
Marsha McCreadie
Baby Boom is so far into the realm of fable as to be a cartoon, or a wish fulfillment. It's as if Frank Capra had read Ms. and missed the point.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Pollack
"Baby Boom" is a classic of insipidity, oozing sexual stereotypes from every pore, with dialogue that can't tell the difference between bright and trite and a music score that may give cavities.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
The humor in "Baby Boom" is sharp without being heartless.
Variety
Variety Staff
Constructed 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.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
''BABY BOOM'' isn't much more than a glorified sitcom, but it's funny, and it's liable to hit home.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
If "Baby Boom" were a diaper, though, it would be disposable.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
It's so sweetly manipulative, it's bound to reassure those birth-dearth worrywarts.
Philadelphia Daily News
Ben Yagoda
The message of "Baby Boom" is so wildly dubious that it s impossible to ignore. When you think of it as only a movie, however (and a slick, manipulative light comedy at that), you have to admit that "Baby Boom" does a nice job.
Rachel's Reviews (YouTube)
Rachel Wagner
I really enjoy this film. It captures feminism in the 80's, early 90s well
Sojourner
Susan Shapiro
Although the story itself is totally unbelievable, there is, finally, a tenderness between them that is rarely portrayed in film between any two females. It's too bad such a nice touch occurs within the context of a disturbing fairy tale.
Tampa Bay Times
Hal Lipper
Keaton... redeems Baby Boom from the clutches of '40s romantic comedy banality.
San Francisco Examiner
Michael Sragow
Nothing in this pseudo-comedy, which resembles episodes from three different sitcoms strung together, remotely approximates real life.
