Stump the LAMBs Movie Trivia Quiz Answer: Baby Boom and What Women Want

Cover of "Baby Boom"Cover of Baby Boom

I must admit, female LAMBs probably had the advantage with the last question because the movies in questions were chick flicks. But the question was pretty difficult, so no one got the answer -- male or female.

Here's the question again:

Name the two post-1980 films that take place at least in part at the same fictional advertising agency.

The answer:

The Sloane Curtis Advertising Agency was featured in What Women Want (2000) and Baby Boom (1987). Nancy Meyers was the common denominator between the two, because she directed What Women Want and wrote Baby Boom.

I don't know if you have to be a woman to love both these movies but it probably helps. I enjoyed that both touched on the vulnerabilities and strengths of businesswomen in a meaningful way while still managing to be funny. The transformation of Diane Keaton's character in Baby Boom was particularly poignant and timely, given the era it was released. Women were just beginning to find their power as more than subordinates in the business world, so balancing having a baby and a high-powered career was a relatively new concept.

Here's the next question:

Name the movie in which Agnes Belushi (John and Jim Belushi's mother) plays an uncredited extra in a wedding scene.

Please include the following information in your response:

1. The movie name
2. Your name
3. Your blog name
4. Your blog URL
