Baby Mama (2008)

Nice effects though.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

My absolute favorite movie of all time. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are a hilarious match made in heaven, and with an incredible cast to back them up (Steve Martin, Greg Kinnear, Dax Shepard, Holland Taylor, Maura Tierney, Romany Malco, etc.) this movie is full of laughs and heartfelt moments from beginning to end.

No it wasn't fall out your seat laughter, but it was a cool movie. there were a few cool twists, which was a super plus.Amy. P is the main center! she was very funny to me. I love her character in the film. funny, witty an outgoing. The winner points in this film, were that both characters helped each other on serious issues in their lives. it shows that everyone needs someone n no one is perfect. We can learn valuable lessons, from friends, family n even surrogate mothers.To all the Tiny Fey fans, no she isn't super funny in this film, but I feel this movie is worth a look. So attention folks, rent it at least one time, cool watch. Im sure happy that I rented this movie. no regrets.

This was a surprisingly funny comedy given the premise. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler worked well together in the leads, as Fey is a career-driven woman who finally decides she wants a baby;unfortunately, her doctor informs her that her uterus isn't the right shape for it. After exploring other options (including adoption), she decides to go with the surrogate route, and Amy Poehler agrees. Unfortunately, she is a white-trash loser (with equally bad common law husband Dax Sheppard aboard), and they are more interested in scamming her. Surprises abound. Greg Kinnear and Steve Martin offer surprisingly good supporting roles in this good comedy that I recommend. Even the cover box is funny! Stay with it to the ending credits. I think Amy Poehler's performance is the main highlight.** 1/2 out of ****

baby movies can be amusing('Baby Boom')or they can be kind of awful('She's Having A Baby')or sometimes kind of freaky (the weird 'Baby's Day Out'). 'Baby Mama' is one of the funnier, more interesting ones.the whole surrogate mother thing is somewhat controversial, so it makes for more interesting viewing than your average 'baby' flick. i even wondered at times if some of the jokes were aimed at the 1985 surrogate documentary 'Paternal Instinct'("i worry you are too fat"). at least this movie didn't go as far as that documentary did and show close ups of Amy Poehler's vagina being inseminated. barf. don't remind me.Tina Fey and Poehler are pretty funny here and there is an amusing cameo-like role for Steve Martin who sports a long hair pony tail. Greg Kinnear is his usual likable self.it's hard to imagine a 'baby' flick being a great movie. that is of course not including the awesome 'Rosemary's Baby'. so i wouldn't say this is great cinema or a profound story, but if you like babies, and like a fairly funny film, then this is it.
