This was a pleasant, if unremarkable, movie. Tina Fey gets slammed for her acting sometimes, but I think she delivers exactly what you expect from her, and Amy Poehler was much better than I expected.as the trashy surrogate mom. However, she This was a pleasant, if unremarkable, movie. Tina Fey gets slammed for her acting sometimes, but I think she delivers exactly what you expect from her, and Amy Poehler was much better than I expected.as the trashy surrogate mom. However, she seemed about 10 years too old for the role. I liked that Tina Fey was allowed to be a very capable businesswoman, who doesn't mess up her work with "baby fever." Also, the ending struck me as being a bit tossed away, without the ooomph it should have had. Overall, I enjoyed this movie--it's lightweight, but it's a fun night out.… Expand

This was a funny movie. Loved every minute of it. Tina, Amy, Greg, and Steve were great together.

I think the critics are holding this to an unnecessarily high standard. As far as movies go that i have seen lately, this has been the funniest, and that includes Judd Apatow's latest, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Apatow's was I think the critics are holding this to an unnecessarily high standard. As far as movies go that i have seen lately, this has been the funniest, and that includes Judd Apatow's latest, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Apatow's was terrifically funny, don't get me wrong, but it lacked a certain relatability that i think Baby Mama possessed. This is not 30 Rock, and Tina Fey did not write this. i think critics are holding it to Fey standards, and no this is not a Tina Fey movie, it is a movie starring Tina Fey. that being said, i am a huge 30 Rock fan and still found this movie very enjoyable. This movie is what you think it is, it doesn't promise to be anything more. but it is a very good time. i recommend it over Forgetting Sarah Marshall. (though, if you have the time, i do think you should see that too).… Expand

Bigger the audience, bigger the laughs. More surprises than most modern comedies. Professional critics don't like comedies much anyway, so they should be ignored on this genre.

I think this is definitely the feel good comedy of the year, so far. It was predictable, which is why I didn't give it a ten, but it was hysterical! I think both the girls are very talented actresses, and whoever thinks Amy was miscast, I think this is definitely the feel good comedy of the year, so far.

My rection to "Baby Mama" was decisively different. I loved this comedy. I laughed, many times heartedly, throughout. I was very surprised at the negative comments about the movie's comic timing, as if the jokes were there, but they were either shot and/or edited wrong. To me, the comic timing was the movie's strength, especially the rapport between Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. And I thought the scene where Amy's pregnant character Angie was being wheeled into the hospital prior to her delivery, was insanely, perfectly funny. Certainly, I appreciated Steve Martin and Sigourney Weaver in their crucial supporting roles, as well as Dax Shepard and the inimitable Holland Taylor; but the movie, and the comedy, belongs to Fey and Poehler; and I thought they were as funny a comedy team as any I've ever seen, especially in this age of blatantly smarmy male-oriented "chuckle fests". One common thread among the reviews and commentaries focuses on the prior expectations of most of the reviewers, having seen both of these women many times on television, and particularly on 'Saturday Night Live'. My encounter with "Baby Mama" carried no previous baggage whatever -- I have long since stopped watching SNL, as well as most other television -- and my reactions to these two fabulous comediennes was fresh and unprepared. So I laughed. Long and hard. This is one of the best comedies I've seen on film, and I've been able to laugh along with the cinema since the 1950's. So if you haven't encountered "Baby Mama" as yet, or may be waiting for it on DVD, I strongly urge you to give it a chance, keep an open mind, and just go with what it offers -- great pleasure, and many chances to really laugh.… Expand

Comedy's truly perfect pairing. I could sit and watch Tina Fey & Amy Poehler in Baby Mama all day long. Baby Mama is filled with smart laughs and backed with a substantial and meaningful story. This is what comedy was meant to be.
