Nice performances by Keaton and Sam Shepherd almost give this anemic comedy the energy it lacks.

Diane is a busy business woman who's life is turned upside down when a baby comes along. She retires to the country where she has a bottomless pit of a house. She falls for a vet. She makes baby food which she sells across the country. Funny movie.
