Reviews
Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Gordon-11 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.
jacobjohntaylor1 There are to many comedies that are just boring. And this is one of them. There was nothing about this movie. A woman wants to adopt a baby. So another woman gets pregnant so she can't adopt it. Boring. This a comedy so it is supposed to be funny. It is not. It gross at time. This movie is very badly written. I is a wast of money. It is also a wast of time do not see it. 6 is overrating it. It is no 6. It to boring and stupid to be a 6. The actors in this movie are good. They wasted they talent being in this movie. The is one of the worst comedy movies ever made. It is pooh pooh. Stinky stinky pooh pooh. I can not believe it got a 6. It is such pooh.
Julesecosse A lot of laughs are to be had in this movie, an engaging buddy comedy with the excellent proved comediennes Amy Poehler and Tina Fey.The leads seem to work really well together as I believe that they have done so in the past, perhaps on Saturday Night Live? The dialogue is excellent and is the main component of the film. I feel certain that a lot of it is ad-libbed. The best lines were definitely reserved for the father of the baby (Dax Shepard), said sometimes with an almost embarrassed air; as some of them are somewhat politically incorrect, but generally just outrageously idiotic and ignorant.A jolly entertainment for most modern adults, possibly not however for those of a conservative bent.
sddavis63 "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)
