Baby Boom was one of many working woman movies of the mid-to-late 80s but does feature a wonderful performance by Diane Keaton and it’s never a bad thing to see Harold Ramis.

ABOUT THIS RELEASE
|
| Written by Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer and directed by Shyer, Baby Boom (1987) is a romantic comedy with an edge, starring the superb Diane Keaton as a driven Manhattan career woman who finds her life turned upside down when she “inherits” a baby. A semi-satiric fantasy unfurls as she loses her job and her yuppie boyfriend (Harold Ramis), moves with baby to a deeply picturesque if falling-down Vermont house, and meets a helpful Gary Cooper-ish vet (Sam Shepard). Gorgeously shot by William A. Fraker, and featuring an iconic score by the great Bill Conti (Broadcast News, The Right Stuff). |
SPECIAL FEATURES – 1.75/5 |
| This release comes with an 8-page essay booklet. Not much included except a nice Audio Commentary with Film Historians Julie Kirgo and Nick Redman and the film’s Original Theatrical Trailer (2:04; HD). |
VIDEO — 4.0/5, AUDIO — 4.0/5
|
| Baby Boom celebrates its 30th anniversary debuting on Blu-ray through Twilight Time and is presented in its original 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio and given a pleasant looking 1080p high-definition transfer.
Accompanying it is a DTS-HD Master Audio Stereo track which was fairly robust when it came to the music, including the cheesy opening theme, and still provides clean and crisp dialogue levels. |
OVERALL – 3.0/5 |
|
Overall, Baby Boom was one of many working woman movies of the mid-to-late 80s but does feature a wonderful performance by Diane Keaton and it’s never a bad thing to see Harold Ramis outside the Ghostbusters franchise. This Blu-ray released by Twilight Time offers good video/audio transfers but is limited on the bonus material side, though the commentary is worth a listen. |
