Couldn't stop laughing through the scenes!

Rating: 5 (2008-11-17)

I watched this movie back in May and I want to say this is one of the funniest down to earth movies on Hollywood. It touches on a lot of today's sensitive issues surrounding surrogacy, cheating just for money, and romance.

I don't want to give the plot away but Baby Mama hits the surrogacy issue head on with Tina Fey's character looking for someone to carry her baby (her egg + donor sperm) since the doctor says she has a 1 in a million chance of conceiving. She finally finds Amy Poehler's character Angie who is willing to carry her child and then the is the hilarious sentimental music ("My Love; There is only you in my Life, the only thing that's right") when the donor sperm/egg is inseminated into Angie. That is the part where I laughed for almost two minutes! If you think that part was funny there are a chockful of other funny parts involving the surrogacy issue and Tina and Amy's character getting along. The one that hits the spot is where the toilet is locked for safety and Angie urinates in the sink! The whole theater was cracking up at that point. If you can think of any funnier movies please contact me.

In closing this movie is a down to earth (deals with real life issues) funny movie that is worth seeing again and again! I watched it twice this year. I can guarantee you that it is worth every cent. Buy it on blu ray for the special effects.

I thought this was a cute movie. I am biased though because I really like Tina Fey. I am glad I rented it instead of seeing it in a movie theatre though. There are some really funny parts, some not so funny, and some predictability.

Oh Baby, this was a pretty funny movie

Light comedy here. Good enough for a Friday or Saturday night at home. If you are a fan of Tina and Amy like I am, you know what you are getting into. If not, buy this movie and see for yourself. You will be hooked on this comedic tag team. The Blu Ray looks great. Sound is just OK. But the picture is amazing. Nice work by Universal here on a good disk. VERY FUNNY MOVIE. Buy it today

Terrible

I love these two but this is absolutely awful. Acting is flat and jokes are obvious. Unfunny.

Better Than I Expected

Rating: 4 (2008-11-05)

Maybe I've been spoiled by fantastic comedies, because I had no desire at all to see "Baby Mama." I mean, when you've got so many movies by dudes like Judd Apatow and co. and the British kings of comedy coming out in one year, how can one be interested in a film starring two actresses best known for being on SNL, which continues to get less and less funny each year? Well, it turned out that I did wind up seeing "Baby Mama" and I even left with a sort of moral: I need to be less picky with my comedies, because this was pretty good.

There are a few laugh out loud moments scattered throughout, but it's a movie that will consistently make you smile. Tina Fey is great, and Poehler is surprisingly not at all awful. Yeah, she's over-the-top, but she still brings something endearing to this role that I definitely didn't expect. Some of the best bits came from Steve Martin, who plays Kate's (Fey) guru-like boss, as well as Romany Malco of Weeds fame who plays the hilarious and sympathetic bellhop. There are some pretty predictable twists and rom-com tropes at work, but the writers brought enough originality to the table to keep this fresh enough.

It's not one of the best comedies you'll see this year, but it's still an entertaining movie that's worth seeing.
