Former Saturday Night Live "Weekend Update" co-anchors Tina Fey and Amy Poehler co-star in this baby-fever comedy about a single, career-oriented woman who previously put parenthood on hold, and is forced to hire a surrogate mother when she discovers there is only a one-in-a-million chance that she will be able to get pregnant. Kate Holbrook (Fey) is a 37-year-old business executive who has always put her professional life before her personal life, but these days her biological clock is ticking louder than ever before. As with everything else she has accomplished in life, Kate is determined to have a child on her own terms. Unfortunately for Kate, the chance of her ever becoming pregnant is slim to none. Undaunted, a willful Kate drafts South Philly working-class girl Angie Ostrowiski (Poehler) -- a woman who may just be her polar opposite -- to be a surrogate mother. Subsequently informed by the head of the surrogacy center (Sigourney Weaver) that her surrogate is indeed pregnant, the excited mother-to-be soon purchases every child-rearing book she can find and excitedly begins the nesting process. But life hasn't quit throwing Kate curveballs just yet, because when a pregnant Angie shows up on her doorstep with no place to live, the woman who once thrived on order finds her life descending into chaos. Now, as Kate attempts to transform Angie into the ideal expectant mother, this odd couple will discover that families aren't always biological, but occasionally formed through friendship as well. Writer Michael McCullers, who authored the screenplays for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and Undercover Brother in addition to working on Saturday Night Live, makes his feature directorial debut with a self-penned screenplay.

This movie is like a disappointing party... All the right people are there, but it just isn't as much fun as it should be. Writer-director McCullers has created more than a few fascinating characters, but has not mixed them together in ways that generate the energy for a great gathering. The movie also has a predictable arc, and even though there are two major plot twists they will come as a surprise to no one.
And yet, I liked this movie. One reason is Tina Fey. (Okay, I do have a crush on her, but that has nothing to do with it!) She is one of the most watchable actors at work today, both on TV and in the movies. There is genuine comic chemistry between her and Poehler, and we can only hope for future films that feature them.
Though it all wraps up just a bit too neatly, along the way there are some captivating characters, very well-played. These include a pony-tailed Steve Martin as the whole-foods, new-age guru who rewards his top employees not with cash bonuses, but with five minutes of eye contact. Sigourney Weaver is also wonderful as the head of the surrogacy agency who charges $100,000 for its services. "That's more than it cost to have a person killed, " jokes Kate. "That's because it takes longer," deadpans Weaver. Some of the film's best laughs come courtesy of Oscar (Malco), the doorman at Kate's building who knows way more than he should about the odd couple upstairs.
One minor character should look familiar, if you watch any TV at all. Kate's gynecologist is John Hodgman, the guy who plays "PC" in the ubiquitous Apple commercials. He provides Kate's prognosis with the words, "I don't like your uterus."

With the 2 stars of this movie, I expected a lot more. They were NOTHING like their SNL characters (funny-wise), which truly disappointed me.

Well I like the movie. But i did not know it was going to be a pirated movie. It was aweful. The sound the picture and the heads are cut off. Nowhere in the description does it say a copied movie. I emailed the seller so we can resolve this without having to leave negative feedback but they never responded. Please do not buy from this seller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good entertaining movie. However, I expected it to be funnier based on the TV clips. Still glad to have purchased and watched.

Will make you laugh....at least once!
) I have to say I really liked this one. I put it off for quite a while before finally watching it (I thought it would be too "teeny-like" and unfunny) but I was wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed it because it was really cheesy and most of the characters acts like dorks which makes the whole film worth while. It's very funny with an awesome storyline, although it could have been funnier with a few tweaks here & there. But overall, it will make you laugh! Loved it!!

Fey and Poehler make a fantastic comedy teamReview created: 07/16/09

I heard bad reviews when this movie was in theatres so I waited to rent it - I couldn't have been more pleased! I thought the writing was excellent and the comedy not too over-the-top. Steve Martin was great and I liked the cameos from SNL cast. Would recommend to anyone who watches 30-Rock or enjoyed Fey and Poehler on SNL. Great move - one of my favourites.

Baby MamaI did not get to see this movie. It was not packed in appropriate package and it came to me cracked. I sent it back and e-mailed that I would like a new one and if that was not possible then a refund. I sent this request 2 weeks ago and have not yet recieved a reply. Thank-you
