***Some minor spoilers***
If saw this in 1987, I would have thought it was a fairly good movie.
Seeing it in 2001, however, it looked very dated, especially in terms of character and plot - i.e. Yuppie career woman suddenly realises that she can't live without a child and her male work colleagues are eager to get shot of her because she no longer is 'sharp'. Cue disgruntled woman (+ baby) getting their own back in a very simplistic plot and snaring a man along the way (because in Hollywood, all women need a man, as they also need a baby and housework).
Challenging for its time, now rendered to a very simple plot, stereotypes and shoulder pads. Not good!
4/10
