My absolute favorite movie of all time. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are a hilarious match made in heaven, and with an incredible cast to back them up (Steve Martin, Greg Kinnear, Dax Shepard, Holland Taylor, Maura Tierney, Romany Malco, etc.) this movie is full of laughs and heartfelt moments from beginning to end.

A lot of laughs are to be had in this movie, an engaging buddy comedy with the excellent proved comediennes Amy Poehler and Tina Fey.The leads seem to work really well together as I believe that they have done so in the past, perhaps on Saturday Night Live? The dialogue is excellent and is the main component of the film. I feel certain that a lot of it is ad-libbed. The best lines were definitely reserved for the father of the baby (Dax Shepard), said sometimes with an almost embarrassed air; as some of them are somewhat politically incorrect, but generally just outrageously idiotic and ignorant.A jolly entertainment for most modern adults, possibly not however for those of a conservative bent.

"Baby Mama" is certainly an enjoyable enough movie. It's not at all deep or thought provoking (which is kind of nice, because comedies that try to be deep and thought provoking usually fail dismally as both comedies and deep and thought provoking stories.) There's a definite "Saturday Night Live" feel to this - with Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Steve Martin all playing significant roles - but it comes across as far more "serious" than you might expect for a movie with that background. It's not an SNL skit (not even an extended one.) There's even an underlying current of mean-spiritedness to this, which doesn't take away from the fun of the movie, but which does certainly sober it.Fey's character of Kate is a 37 year old corporate executive who decides that the time has come to have a baby. The problem is that she has no man in her life. So she hires an agency to find her a surrogate, who turns out to be Angie (Poehler.) Kate and Angie are opposites in every way - Kate the successful businesswoman, Angie the uneducated and uncultured wife (a "white trash housewife" as Kate finally calls her in a flash of anger) of, frankly, a loser (played by a guy named Dax Shepard.) But in spite of that Kate and Angie develop a bond; even a friendship as the baby grows inside Angie, who eventually breaks up with her loser hubby and moves in with Kate, who also manages to start a romance with Rob (Greg Kinnear.)So there's a kind of revolving door of relationships, with lots of ups and downs. (Martin's role, by the way, is as Kate's boss - a new age, hippie sort of type, and, while he's not central to the story, he's actually quite funny when he's in it.) This was certainly easy enough to watch. Funny at times - even surprisingly emotional every now and then. I have to say that I think my favourite character was the birthing teacher, played by Siobhan Fallon. She was "weawwy weawwy good." It was a silly role, replete with her speaking in a silly voice, but worth a laugh whenever she appeared. (6/10)

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.
