Diane Keaton at her funniest inherits a nipper, turns in her briefcase and grapples with single parenthood in largely amusing fashion. Apart from fulfilling the Diapering Baby and Country House Falling Down Round Her Ears joke quota, there are some good giggles at Big City Business, yuppiedom and Keatons transformation from Armani exec into Laura Ashley earth mother. The caring, sharing guy who miraculously materialises - as they invariably do in these maternal times of need - is a simply divine Sam Shepard, and the scene in which they meet is so hilariously embarassing its almost worth having a gander on this basis alone.
