Sergeant_Tibbs I like 30 Rock and Parks and Recreation a lot so even though Baby Mama gets a lot of flack for some reason I knew I'd at least enjoy the antics of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. It's disappointing that it's not their material, even if the plot is familiar regarding 30 Rock, but it's all about their comedic timing. And the film is amusing enough even if it doesn't have the confidence to go all out with everything. I like its sense of humour, out of place whackiness with Sigourney Weaver aside. Dax Shepard in particular is a highlight with his sardonic one-liners. It's solid low-risk feel-good entertainment even if it can't make up its mind on whether it wants me to go to Jamba Juice or not. I think I'll go anyway. Either out of encouragement or playful spite.6/10

yruh I am a big fan of Amy Poehler and I like Tina Fey too, I hope I am spelling their names correctly here because other wise that would be very embarrassing.I thought this movie was very funny in places. It is not Tina Fey's best work but she is still good in this and Amy Poehler is really funny as usual as the mommie to be. I expected more from this movie because of their talent but it is still worth watching for sure and is a good mostly family friendly comedy to watch. The script is a basic comedy script, nothing too hard to follow and a bit predictable like most comedies but still funny.

Roland E. Zwick 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.

Chrysanthepop 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.
