SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Like Baby Boom, it warmly mines the collision between a high-pressure professional woman’s carefully managed career and the unruly demands of motherhood, with brisk workplace comedy rather than sentimentality alone.
02
Why this pick
A fast-moving Manhattan parenting emergency gives this the same polished, hectic 1980s/90s studio-comedy energy, balancing professional obligations, romantic friction, and a child-driven disruption of adult routines.
03
Why this pick
Its glossy, good-natured look at an ambitious woman leading a demanding business echoes Baby Boom’s affection for competence under pressure, while making room for warmth, family strain, and earned perspective.
04
Why this pick
For Baby Boom’s Manhattan career-world pleasure, this offers sharp yet buoyant workplace stakes, an enterprising heroine, romantic complications, and the same highly polished late-1980s New York sensibility.
05
Why this pick
Diane Keaton’s appealingly frazzled single mother navigates domestic upheaval and reluctant romance in a witty, grown-up urban comedy whose warmth and character interplay suit Baby Boom’s lighter side.

01 / THE STORY
J. C. Wiatt (Diane Keaton) is a driven Manhattan career woman (nicknamed the "Tiger Lady") typical of the 1980s whose fast-paced life leaves her with no time for romance or relaxation (or as the narrator in the beginning puts it she works "5 to 9"), though she derives pleasure from her frantic schedule and demanding job. She works as a management consultant and lives with an investment banker, Steven Buchner (Harold Ramis), whose job and life are likewise hectic. Her life is thrown into turmoil when she inherits a toddler, Elizabeth (twins Kristina and Michelle Kennedy), from a deceased cousin whom she had not seen in over 30 years.
