Sadly Over-hyped

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

What could possibly wrong it's gonna be when two wild and smart comedians, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were paired in a film. "Baby Mama" is actually just a safe and lightweight drama-comedy but at least it's main purpose to entertain and deliver some laughs were finely accomplished. There's no doubt that chemistry between it's two leading actresses Tina Fey and Amy Poehler was the only factor to bring this movie some lives. Their performance determine how this film is going to be and make the two opposite personality from Kate Holbrook and Angie Ostrowiski enjoyable to watch. Some jokes and scenes in this movie are silly but funny at the same time like the dramatic scene when Angie is ready to be Kate's surrogate at hospital surrounded with romantic soundtrack at the background, so hilarious. However, "Baby Mama" couldn't take any risks from it's quite complex material that makes it not special and passable. Also how this movie solved the ending with win-win solution were rather disappointing than sweet and has more or less ruined premise they had built from the beginning.

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.

Tina Fey really knows how to play against her looks in order to get laughs. In fact, the key to Fey's success is that she's a natural-born geek trapped in a beautiful woman's body. The characters she plays (including the one in "30 Rock") are invariably social klutzes who good-naturedly tolerate the absurdities and idiosyncrasies of the world around them. While in many ways she is an outcast from her society, she also appears more "sane" than many of the people who share a stage with her. As a result, she allows us to laugh at the weaknesses and absurdity of many of our fellow human beings without feeling superior to them.In "Baby Mama," she stars as Kate, a single, 37-year-old control freak whose biological clock has begun keeping her up at night. Cursed with a "T-shaped uterus" and rejected by one adoption agency after another, Kate turns to surrogacy as her only viable pathway to motherhood. Enter Angie, played by the equally brilliant Amy Poehler, a trash-talking, junk-food-eating but lovable slob who agrees to help Kate have the baby she's always wanted – for a price. Thus, these polar opposites march together into that nine-month-long period of heightened hormones known as pregnancy.Written and directed by Michael McCullers, "Baby Mama" is a wonderful throwback to all those sturdily constructed screwball comedies of the past that draw their strength from clever dialogue, a series of humorous misunderstandings, and deftly executed slapstick routines, all put forth by true-blue, certified comics who really know the tricks of their trade. In addition to Fey and Poehlor, perhaps the two top comediennes working in the business today, there are fine contributions from the ageless Steve Martin as Kate's blissed-out New Age boss, who owns a chain of whole foods stores; Dax Shepard ("Parenthood") as Angie's long term boyfriend; Greg Kinnear as Kate's anti-corporate love interest; Holland Taylor as Kate's hilariously outspoken and disapproving mom; Siguorney Weaver as the perpetually pregnant head of the surrogacy company Kate employs; and Romany Malco as a nosy doorman who isn't afraid to add his two-cents in when it comes to the events of Kate's life.Clearly a product of people of talent, "Baby Mama" is a hilarious and endearing comedy that even manages to throw a bit of painless social commentary into the mix for good measure.

Michael McCuller's 'Baby Mama' promises laughter and that's what it delivers. The story centres around a 37 year old single career woman, Kate (Tina Fey) who's desperate to have a child. When she exhausts all option, she decides to seek the help of an agency lead by a 60-year old fertile mother (Sigourney Weaver). Through this agency, she meets Angie (Amy Poehler) who appears to be the answer to all her problems. However, not all is as it seems. Yes, the story is predictable and there are a few plot holes too. The execution is quite standard. Neither Dax Shepard nor Amy Poehler look like trailer trash. However, the humour is what keeps the viewers on their seat. Some of the lines had me laughing out loud. Fey and Poehler excellently work off one another. Their off-screen friendship seems to have worked for their benefit. Moreover, they are supported by a host of funny actors like Sigourney Weaver, Steve Martin and Holland Taylor. It may not have a solid story, 'Baby Mama' offers enough laugh triggers to perhaps lighten ones mood.
