Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

seeingbystarlight J.C Wiatt (Diane Keaton) is the embodiment of the modern woman.Married to her job, she lives with Steven Buchner (Harold Ramis), a man married to his.When confronted by her boss, Fritz Curtis (Sam Wanamaker) about having to sacrifice (marriage, children etc.) for her career, J.C. replies firmly that she doesn't want any of that:She's committed to her destiny.But destiny takes an unexpected turn when, late one night, J.C. is awakened by a long distance phone call.It's a bad connection, during which she is informed that she has inherited something she thinks is money, from a distant cousin living in London.The next morning, she finds out it's not money, rather a little girl named Elizabeth who couldn't be older than six months old.Suddenly, J.C.'s existence is thrown into chaos, as the unwelcome task of being a mother, combined with the demands of her career proves to be more than she can handle.She decides to put the baby up for adoption...only to find that, at the last minute, she can't go through with it, losing Steven as a result.It isn't long before her work begins to suffer, and her boss notices that she isn't quite the tough career woman she used to be.Displeased, he passes her over for a major account, giving it instead to Ken Arrenberg (James Spader), an ambitious young associate who's gunning for her job.Devastated, and deeply hurt, J.C. quits.On impulse, she buys a house in Vermont, and goes there to start a new life with her adopted daughter, not forseeing all the complications that will ensue, such as the heater breaking down, the roof caving in in the middle of a snow storm, and finally, the well drying up...After which she collapses, and wakes up in the office of Dr. Jeff Cooper (Sam Shepard), a man she mistakes for a real physician... only to be furious when she finds out he's a veterinarian.Far better than most movies of it's kind, this is a story that's funny, and endearing without being sappy or sentimental.Everything about the way it's done is great, and you always feel great after watching it.Really a terrific movie.Originally, Review #149Posted On: December 17, 2011.

David_Brown I love this film in particular Diane Keaton as JC Wiatt (in perhaps her best performance (obviously "The Godfather" was better, but NOT because of her)), to the theme "Everchanging Times" (which was done by Bill Conti of "Rocky" fame), to some really standout nasty performances (James Spader, Harold Ramis, and Sam Wannamaker). Spoilers ahead: It is about JC Wiatt, a career woman, who was a "tiger lady" living with a boyfriend named Steve Buchner (Ramis) in an obviously loveless relationship. Then she finds out that her sister and brother-in law died in an auto accident, and she finds she was given an inheritance which much to her surprise, was her niece Elizabeth. She tries to raise the baby, but Buchner tells her it is me or Elizabeth, and her boss Fritz Curtis, essentially says you much choose between the job or Elizabeth, and she is being threatened by a younger co-worker Ken Arrenberg (Spader). She finally decides to give up Elizabeth for adoption, but changes her mind, when she feels guilty because the couple who was adopting, just wanted her to use her to work on a farm. She then packs up Elizabeth and moves to a farm in Vermont, where everything goes wrong, from the heating to the plumbing, but she sticks it out, and eventually meets Dr. Jeff Cooper (Sam Shepard), who will eventually become her love interest. She then creates a baby food for Elizabeth called "Country Baby" that becomes such a hit, that her old company and a rich investor (Pat Hingle) want to buy her out. She is going to take the offer, but just like when she chose to keep Elizabeth, she realized this was a mistake. As she pointed out to Curtis that "I should not have to choose between a career and a family. no one should." And she took a look at Arrenberg, and said "The rat race will have to do with one less rat." The point behind the film is about JC sacrificing everything she has for someone who really needed her (Elizabeth), instead of putting herself first, and being rewarded with not only Elizabeth, but a better relationship, more money, and the opportunity to be her boss, and not be around those who have no respect for her. The final scene of the film where JC returns to Vermont and Elizabeth says "mama" to her, and the smile on JC's face as she holds her says it all. 10/10 stars

jjnxn-1 Captivating comedy with Diane at her most disarming. Her initial Tiger Lady is sharp as a tack without being inhuman and once the baby comes into her life she flutters and stammers just enough too imply a natural ruffling without losing her main character. I know many feel that Annie Hall is her best work but really this is the clearest example her star power with a good deal of her more exaggerated tics stripped away. While there are many charming secondary characters, the small town handyman, Sam Shepard as the vet, the yuppie day travelers etc. this is Diane's show all the way buoyed by her marvelous chemistry with the young baby, twin sisters actually, who plays her unexpected daughter.

Syl A woman like J.C. Wiatt played by the Oscar Winner and film legend, Diane Keaton, plays a hard-working college graduate professional working up the ranks of partnership at a New York City firm. She has love by Harold Ramis who is equally consumed by his job in the business world. The two lovers are partners but not married. Then one day, J.C. gets her inheritance from a cousin which she thinks is a pin but is actually a baby named Elizabeth and she is the only living relative to care for the adorable baby. Keaton's Wiatt is already uptight with the thought of motherhood dropped on her doorstep. She takes Elizabeth in and says goodbye to her boyfriend. She becomes the unlikeliest of mothers. The supporting cast features the wonderful American actor and the man who helped rebuild the Globe Theater in London, Sam Wanamaker CBE as her boss who is the work addict himself and doesn't know how many grandchildren that he has but his wife does; James Spader plays the man who would take over Wiatt's job after three years of training under her belt; it must suck to be a woman so Wiatt quits New York City and buys 63 acre farm in Vermont. There with Elizabeth, they embark on a new life where she makes apple sauce and starts her own business like Martha Stewart. Does she find love and happiness in Vermont with all the troubles of running her estate? You'll just have to watch and find out. I believe Margaret Whitton is totally under-used in her role here as one of the corporate women.
