Just perfect...
How sad is this?
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
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.
This film tells the story of a successful executive who hires a surrogate mother to carry her child.I think this comedy is quite bitter sweet. It has a lot of laughs, it has romance and it has a lot of emotions too. The fact that it centrally features a woman who really wants children but can't have one can be a rather sensitive issue. Overall, I enjoyed the film, particular the romance part.
"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 see this movie more as a friendship comedy than a romantic comedy. The main thing in the movie is the relationship between Kate (Tina Fey) and Angie (Amy Poehler). There are many friendship comedies out there: the ones where two different people get together and their relationship develops while going through funny situations. Only this time the main characters are female.Tina Fey's character is pretty much the one she plays at 30 Rock, which was great for me since I love her on the show. I can't say I like Amy Poehlen, but her and Tina Fey together have a great chemistry. This probably comes from working together before on SNL.A great addition to the movie was Steve Martin. His character was pretty small and not important for the story, but his lines and the way he presented them were hilarious.This isn't a movie where one doesn't stop laughing. It has a lot of funny moments, but there are also some touching moments. All in all it is a great movie that makes one feel good and makes one smile.
