I've been watching so much 30 Rock lately, and I just wanted to watch something else with Tina Fey in it. And since Amy Poehler was in this movie as well, it felt like a jackpot.Baby Mama is a fun movie, and I had high hopes for it. That's mostly because I wanted it to end happily, because at a certain point it felt like there's no way for it to end happily. But still, the way it ended felt so stupid and just... too easy. It was too happy in a way that it make everyone's dreams come true, and that happens very rarely in real life. Of course it's nice to have a movie where everyone is more or less happy, but that also felt really cheap.I love the chemistry between Fey and Poehler. I wish there were more movies with both of them on Netflix.

Kate Holbrook (Tina Fey) is a 37 single successful woman determined for a baby. When she finds she can't conceive, she hires a surrogate Angie (Amy Poehler). Angie leaves her boyfriend Carl (Dax Shepard) and moves in with Kate.I love the chemistry between Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. However I have problems with many of the other characters. Steve Martin plays Kate's wacky boss. He's too ridiculous, and worst of all, he's not funny. Same goes for Dax Shepard. Only his character is a douche on top of it. Even the birthing teacher has a ridiculous voice. The odd couple vibe works great. The best moments happen between those two. They are hilarious together, and saves this movie from a series of stupid characters.

In my opinion this movie is a must see. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey combined leaves your sides hurting. Their subtle humor makes this movie a hit. I have seen this movie over ten times now and it still remains one of my all time favorites. Contrary to many of my peers I find the story line and cast a riot. The contrast between the uptight business women (Fey), and the silly fashion designer wannabe who just wants to go out and have fun provide all different types of people to relate the the comedic situations the two get into. This film is by no means Oscar worthy, yet it is a nice simply comedy that is easy to watch. They do a very good job in the movie to make the audience feel connected to the characters.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have both had great success on Saturday Night Live, and with their own shows, Fey on 30 Rock and Poehler on Parks and Recreation. They can also say they made a buddy movie together with Baby Mama. Baby Mama stars Fey as Kate, a 37-year-old businesswoman who has climbed up the ladders of business success rather than be like most traditional women in the sense of getting married, having an ordinary job, and having children. That is where the film begins. We start by showing her having a date where she gives way too much information to a guy, which causes him to leave.We then transition to where Kate wants a baby. She looks at some sperm donors and finds no interest. So she invests a lot of money into a program where there are women who will volunteer to be surrogate mothers. That is where she meets Angie (Poehler). Angie is an ordinary working class woman with a dumb boyfriend, played by Dax Shepard.The film focuses on Kate and Angie during Angie's pregnancy. Director Michael McCullers focuses on having the story built around Kate and Angie and how they build their friendship. Through taking care of Angie, Kate gets some experience at what being a mother is like. Fey and Poehler have great chemistry that translated just as well on the big screen compared to TV, if not, better. Both Fey and Poehler turn in excellent performances that make their imperfect characters likable and fun to watch. Stealing the show in a great supporting role is Steve Martin, who plays Kate's boss Barry. Martin is a riot as the energy-reading Barry. Where Martin excels with his character is making him a one-of-a-kind character that no other actor could play. The film is fun to watch, and guys will enjoy watching Tina Fey and Amy Poehler play off each other just as much as the ladies do.
