Baby Boom (1987)
67%
“Although the story itself is totally unbelievable, there is, finally, a tenderness between them that is rarely portrayed in film between any two females. It's too bad such a nice touch occurs within the context of a disturbing fairy tale.” –

70%
“Another "male mommy" film, this one says it's okay to cheat on, lie to, and deceive your wife/ wives, as long as you go on a drunken binge to say you're sorry.” –

Choose Me (1984)
95%
“With the exception of a woman who excuses the black eye her husband gives her ("at least he cared enough to do it"), I actually liked this odd little film which seemed more off-Broadway than Hollywood.” –

81%
“Unfortunately, a good cry is often confused with a good film, and with each sob we forgive and forget lack of plot, superficial character development, unconvincing relationships.” –

Split Image (1982)
“Split Image portrays women and men in the same old stereotypes: women get us into trouble; men get us out of it; women have limited depth and ability; men can do almost anything if they have enough determination.” –
