Laughter and hearty guffaws abound in this comical look at 37-year-old career woman Kate Holbrook's (30 Rock's Tina Fey) desperate attempts to have a baby. Never mind that she's not married and has never been involved in a serious relationship; Kate wants a baby and will stop at virtually nothing to get one. After failed attempts at broaching the concept of conception with first dates and trying artificial insemination with the help of a sperm bank, Kate finds out that her t-shaped uterus leaves her with only a one in a million chance of conceiving a child. Adoption doesn't work out and she's left with the distasteful option of hiring a surrogate mother. Enter Chaffee Bicknell's (Sigourney Weaver) surrogate service and her recommendation of the working-class Angie Ostrowiski (Saturday Night Live's Amy Poehler) who, with her common-law husband Carl (Dax Shepard), is just desperate enough to take on the job in order to make some money, and the stage is set for baby making. As fate would have it, Angie and Carl break up just after Angie announces she's pregnant and Angie ends up moving in with Kate. Unfortunately, the two are completely incompatible and what ensues is a hysterical struggle to coexist while clashing over everything from proper nutrition to stroller selection, hair dye, and delivery options. Further complicating matters is Kate's budding relationship with ex-lawyer and juice-store owner Rob (Greg Kinnear), who just happens to be morally opposed to the whole concept of surrogate parenting. Finally, there's the question of just how fully Angie embraces the virtue of honesty. It's the juxtaposition of opposing viewpoints--so boldly stated, humorously set, and blatantly exploited--that makes this witty comedy so darn funny. Expect graphic references, raunchy humor, and a whole lot of laughter. --Tami Horiuchi

Rating:  - Baby Mama
Baby Mama was not the movie I expected at first. It turned out to be a very funny, heartfelt movie. The movie had a lot of unsuspected twists to the plot. I think you will like the movie. I give the movie 5 stars. However, in order to find out if you agree, you should buy or rent the movie to see what you think of it. Personally, I loved it.

Rating:  - Funny...But
I wish I would have liked this movie a little more.
Pluses -- I found several scenes to be laugh out loud funny and as a collector of humor and great one-liners I would consider purchasing the film for those film moments alone. Both actresses shine with physical comedy and in the art of sarcastic one-liners. I was surprised by a plot twist. Steve Martin played freak with great flair and over-the-top weirdness. He may have been the best part of the movie.

Rating:  - Baby Mama Love
So funny you might need Depends. I laughed until I cried at the antics of Amy Poehler. She and Tina Fey play off each other like Martin and Lewis. All the characters were right on point except for Steve Martin's weird guru guy - he seemed completely superfluous to the story. I loved the birthing class lady with the lisp. Gather up a bunch of girlfriends and watch Baby Mama for a howling good time.
Rating: - Delightful, Funny, Smart
I didn't expect to like this movie as much as I did. I LOVED it. Tina Fey is a busy-busy career woman approaching middle life and longing for a baby, and Amy Poehler is the uneducated streetwise surrogate hired by an agency to carry Tina Fey's fertilized egg. It's kind of an Odd Couple thing. IT'S A GOOD GROWN UP MOVIE. Don't be turned off by the commercials trying to sell this as merely a gross/funny movie for the younger SNL set. I'm 52 and I absolutely loved it. Well done! Hollywood--make more movies ... Read More
Rating: - Congratulations, Kate. I want to reward you with five minutes of uninterrupted eye contact.
With the SNL comedy stylings of hilarious Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, Baby Mama falls a little short.
Maybe I expected too much before sitting down to the film,(with images in my head of Fey's Mean Girls or Poehler's performance in Blades of Glory) but if what you expect is an Apatow-esque comic romp, Baby Mama isn't quite your film.
Kate(Tina Fey) is a hard working, career-driven women with little time for much else in her life, only she can't stop thinking about one thing ... Read More
