Product Description
A successful single businesswoman who dreams of having a baby discovers she is infertile and hires a working class woman to be her unlikely surrogate. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 09/09/2008 Starring: Tina Fey Amy Poehler Run time: 99 minutes Rating: Pg13
Amazon.com
Laughter and hearty guffaws abound in this comical look at 37-year-old career woman Kate Holbrook's (30 Rock's Tina Fey) desperate attempts to have a baby. Never mind that she's not married and has never been involved in a serious relationship; Kate wants a baby and will stop at virtually nothing to get one. After failed attempts at broaching the concept of conception with first dates and trying artificial insemination with the help of a sperm bank, Kate finds out that her t-shaped uterus leaves her with only a one in a million chance of conceiving a child. Adoption doesn't work out and she's left with the distasteful option of hiring a surrogate mother. Enter Chaffee Bicknell's (Sigourney Weaver) surrogate service and her recommendation of the working-class Angie Ostrowiski (Saturday Night Live's Amy Poehler) who, with her common-law husband Carl (Dax Shepard), is just desperate enough to take on the job in order to make some money, and the stage is set for baby making. As fate would have it, Angie and Carl break up just after Angie announces she's pregnant and Angie ends up moving in with Kate. Unfortunately, the two are completely incompatible and what ensues is a hysterical struggle to coexist while clashing over everything from proper nutrition to stroller selection, hair dye, and delivery options. Further complicating matters is Kate's budding relationship with ex-lawyer and juice-store owner Rob (Greg Kinnear), who just happens to be morally opposed to the whole concept of surrogate parenting. Finally, there's the question of just how fully Angie embraces the virtue of honesty. It's the juxtaposition of opposing viewpoints--so boldly stated, humorously set, and blatantly exploited--that makes this witty comedy so darn funny. Expect graphic references, raunchy humor, and a whole lot of laughter. --Tami Horiuchi

 SO FUNNY!! November 20, 2008

Oh my gosh, this was so funny. I didn't expect to like it, and I happened to catch it in a hotel room, when there was nothing else on. I have now seen it 3 times, and am looking forward to more. I laugh so hard every time I see it. These women are geniuses!!
Couldn't stop laughing through the scenes! November 17, 2008

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 November 10, 2008

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
