About this movie

J.C. Wiatt (Diane Keaton), a six-figure workaholic management consultant who is also known to her colleagues as the "Tiger Lady,"learns that she has "inherited" an apple-cheeked, 14-month-old girl! No way, José, is J.C. going to keep this career-inhibiting menace--it's off to the adoption agency. If you are expecting that she will become fond of the kid and change her mind as well as her attitudes about love, romance and life, you are right on course. Naturally, still being somewhat who she is, J.C. will find a way to turn her new beloved asset into some quite nice $$$...when she moves from New York City to Vermont. Kate Jackson appeared as J.C. in the television spin-off of this very funny "Capraesque" comedy.

Ratings and reviews

I can't believe in the 32 years I've had to watch this, I haven't but I'm glad I happened upon it while searching for something light hearted to watch! I am a huge Diane Keaton fan and as usual, she doesn't disappoint. The cheeky little girl they choose to play Elizabeth was the perfect choice, simply adorable!

Well, I am a BIG Diane Keaton fan, this movie is sweet, charming, if a bit outdated. She and Sam Shepard have great chemistry together.

There were a few adult-like situations, but overall, this movie was good!
