Here Comes the Baby Boom!
Diane Keaton is J.C Wiatt, a yuppie, executive who's kickin' ass and takin' names! And she is on the fast track to partner! Nothing is going to get in her way. Not even the baby of distant relative who passes away and bequeaths their child to her. Wait, what? This is Baby Boom!
And since this movie is from the 1980s, of course, the 80s patriarchy has a major problem with that. Her yuppie boyfriend (Harold Ramis) splits, her boss replaces J.C. on a big account with her junior, and she's forced into the puppy chow account, an account that she will of course refuse and quit.
What the hell, guys?! Grow a pair and support J.C.!
