Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Tanya Lakhdar I really enjoyed it at the start, it was funny in a way- a business-lady who's married to her job and has no time for anything else is given a baby and grows attached to him. Kind of clichéd, but we all need a bit of cliché once in a while. There was a few questions, like "Why doesn't she hire a nanny? It's New York, she's rich. It should be super easy." It's not like they're all unrealistically weird. She gets a good nanny, then she disappears. There might be a few who don't seem perfect, but seriously? NO good nannies? Oh, well. I guess that's one of my SO MANY QUESTIONS that are LEFT UNANSWERED. But I got past this as it didn't really interfere with the plot too much. It starts off bad, she gets the hang of things. Enjoyable and fun. Bla-Di-blah.MOST PREDICTABLE ENDING I HAVE EVER SEEN: What on earth happened after she moved. It's like whoever wrote this said "Okay, I'm having a writers block. Let's just finish this off already. She moves to a perfect house, it isn't perfect. Moves again. Finds a guy. Makes a whole lot of money out of pretty much nowhere which is stupider than a miracle. Oh, let's make her hard to get. But then they obviously fall in love. There's a baby too? Oh yeah, just leave her out. It doesn't matter."Okay, I'll try to stay a little bit professional and not curse my backside off. I felt like they were mocking me, as if I'd watch this and be all happy because of the happily ever after ending. Name one twist in the movie? She got fired? She didn't take the offer in the end? Oh, please. I was watching the movie with my mother, and we predicted every move they did and we were right. I felt empty inside at the last half hour or whatever. It was WAY WAY WAAAY TOOO PREDICTABLE! Let me sum this up for you... *Contains 'spoilers'- though we all knew what would happen from the start*Business woman given baby... Business woman can't handle baby...Business woman grows attached to baby and spoils baby... Business woman is fired... Businesswoman-no-more moves houses Housewoman makes baby food....Everyone loves baby food and pays more than it's worth.... Housewoman makes lots of miracle baby food and gets millions (May I just stop here and make a remark- or a few. It's not like she just invented baby food- there are so many other brands of baby food. Does she not get any competition? Downfalls? No. It's unrealistic. More so than a miracle. This p****ed me off, to be honest.) .... Housewoman meets Mr Right and plays hard to get.... Mr Right and Housewoman fall in love and live happily ever after. Oh, and Mrs Millionaire has an offer to buy the business for more than it's worth but says no for no reason.Don't watch this. It wasted an hour and something of my life I will never get back. I'm still angry at myself for watching it. Clichéd and way too Hollywood and predictable, I hated it.The 2/10 is for that piece at the start which was bearable

statuskuo I saw this movie years ago and enjoyed it for Diane Keaton's performance. Having revisited it in 2012, I realized that we have changed A LOT. The fast paced "Tiger Lady" that J.C. Wiatt portrays still exist, but imagine what her life would've been like if the internet was still possible. It's really hard not to root for her. J.C. is a windup toy that is wound too tight. A life on a ticking clock. So driven to succeed that she doesn't even realize when she obtains success. The fine line that Keaton skates is dated (unfortunately). A lot of this schtick wouldn't hold to today's audience, but in the context of the era, it's a great reminder of the yuppies that dominated the Reagan era.Cue in, cute baby. She does what the story needs her to do, which is to slow down Keaton's life. Force her to see what's important. And the message is WAY too predictable but...it's still a nice journey. Again, if you follow Keaton's work, this is a very nice film that allows her to juggle through her neurosis. And it has a LOT of fun moments. It made me miss the 80's.

Aaron1375 This film was somewhat funny to a point, but after a certain point it just seems like it has gone on long enough and you just want it to be over. The film is about a woman who does not have any children receiving an unexpected inheritance as she becomes the guardian of a little baby girl. She has problems adjusting to this and this is where the film is at its best, though the best laugh for my money is the scene where the young toddler introduces herself to the boyfriend played by Harold Ramis. The woman wrestles with the idea of putting this child up for adoption, but she meets some people wanting to adopt the child and quickly reconsiders. Cannot say I blame her, as the wife and husband look like a couple who are going to inflict the child with both emotional and physical abuse. Seriously, the way the acted during that meeting the welfare agent present should have said no way. Well the fact she does not give the child up for adoption makes the boyfriend move out and on. Sure, most may think he is a prick for doing so, but it was his choice, having a child was not for him and he went with the way he felt rather than live in misery and transferring said misery to both the woman and the child and then things would have ended in a worse way. Well after a while the woman ends up moving to the country and there are a few more laughs to be had as she has to now adjust living in the country, but the film soon becomes to long as she is in a new romance and she starts a new business. There are laughs in this one, but it is just to long. Comedies that run nearly two hours usually end up being devoid of laughs in to many patches and this one was no exception. Was not awful, but nor was it good.

jldmp1 The construction is rather obvious; the corporate wonder woman has a burden placed on her, but she is compelled to keep it. The second half mirrors the first half exactly - a boom of 'babies'.This could have been something more than a trifle, considering how the jokes were so fundamental to the way Hollywood currently makes fun of the flyover states. Note that the rejected nannies are servile, pious robots. The same idea of 'unacceptable risk' would be recycled in "Mrs. Doubtfire".The first half is pure screwball in nature. The second half seems to have nothing to do with the tone of the first half at all. The writer/director gambled on using "Funny Farm" ideas, but tried to disguise them as something new -- it was no use, Hill's movie vastly overpowers this -- this comes across as indecisive and disconnected.The 80s seem to be the decade most lampooned in movies because of the unique confluence of styles -- linebacker shoulder pads on women's outfits, bass drum beats that would knock you sideways, businesslike sex, conspicuous consumption...Hollywood never seemed to realize, never seemed to have a clue, that every joke they fired off only made fun of themselves.It shows here: the tinsel town airheads try to make fun of corporate America, but the way the movie itself was made is every bit as disingenuous and venal as the target.
