An average movie

Personally, I always had a weak spot for Dianne Keaton and she was the most attractive aspect of this flick. Indeed, in my opinion, it is a rather typical 80’s comedy, supposedly dealing with a timely subject, but the approach is usually cheesy and our appreciation of those flicks is usually colored by a good doses of nostalgia. Basically, this time, it develops this theory that, nowadays, women have become so focus on their career that they are not able to be mothers anymore. It was, at the time, something rather new and, of course, the studios had to surf on this new hype. On top of that, at the time, they created a kind of sub-genre in comedy about people getting a kid or a baby pretty much against their will and this movie was definitely one of those. Back then, when I was very young, I thought the whole thing was quite hilarious but, to be honest, it didn’t grow old very well. The point is that Diane Keaton has some very good comedic timing and basically carries the whole thing on her shoulders but, honestly, it was just way too pedestrian and predictable to become really rewarding. To conclude, I think my rating might be a little bit too generous but I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
