Baby Mama Reviews

TINA FEY FOR VICE PRESIDENT!

(3 1/2 stars)

You got to love Tina Fey. Anyone who can pull off an impersonation of Sarah Palin like she did on Saturday Night Live deserves mounts of Kudos. We already knew she was funny, witty and a very talented actress (for proof see Mean Girls/ 30 Rock).

Fey is indeed the reason to watch Baby Mama, she gets the best bits and lines by far ('I really don't like your uterus.'-'Stop saying that!!'), while Amy Poehler's portrayal of the aura reading but otherwise bad news loan mama is run of the mill at best, grating at the the worst.

Baby Mama does not pretend to be anything other than good humoured, kinda feel good, lightweight entertainment- and as such it is just what it says on the baby food tin. Tina plays the career driven, bit prim, well off woman who gets told she in all likelihood cannot have kids. She signs up with Sigourney Weaver (fabulous by the way) for a rent-a-mom, i.e. Amy Poehler receiving lots of money to carry Tina's child. Needless to say, things go a bit awry and see the two very different women clash and come to heads.

No brownie points for guessing any of the plot twists or outcomes, but hey: watch it in the light hearted spirit it is aimed at and you might even enjoy it.

GOOD, BUT NOT GREAT.

Not very funny - what a shame

It could have been all so different: An interesting story idea (surrogacy), great actors and even nice filming. Yet most jokes are 'lame' or simply awful, and the storyline is rather boring. If you like recent similar films such as 'Juno' or 'Knocked Up', you will be disappointed. If you haven't seen them yet, watch them instead!

Predictable but full of belly-laughs

There is not one plot point in this movie that you cannot see coming 20 minutes before it happens. Fortunately, that's the only downside to the most consistently funny film since, say, Knocked Up. The script sparkles with sly digs at new-age, touchy-feely lifestyles and deserves 90 minutes of anyone's time.

An absolute gem.

Brilliant

Tina Fey is excellent, and indeed the entire cast is doing a great job. It's light entertainment, but thought-provoking at times, especially if you know of single women who are trying to have a baby at 37. Sigourney Weaver is hilarious. I will buy the dvd.

happy ending

I did enjoy this film am gald watched on my own as my partner would'nt have liked it that much,,

its a good film but by halfway you have guessed the ending,,

you the mama

In what’s probably described as a chick flick, the frisson of tension or on screen chemistry in the relationship between actors Tina Fey and Greg Kinnear marries making a good view. As does the premise of the story and the money rules but all surrounding babies can go wrong…no matter how much planning…..Though handled in a basic thought out comedy …… some stuff seems true - so believable. There are a few Steve Martin and Sigourney Weaver cameos, overall good viewing, if a little predictable

Funny rom com

This is a very funny romantic comedy, very entertaining.
