 'Baby Mama'
(Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Greg Kinnear, Dax Shepard, Romany Malco, Maura Tierney, et al / NR / 83 mins / Universal)
Overview: Kate (Tina Fey) is a single woman with a successful career who is longing to have a baby. However, instead of putting her climb up the corporate ladder on hold to get pregnant, she hires a surrogate mom (Amy Poehler) to have the kid for her.
Review: I'll confess to a pre-viewing bias in favor of Fey and Poehler because 30 Rock is the funniest thing on TV right now and because every time Poehler's in a small film role, the rest of the movie can be sort of "whatever," but she always knocks it out of the park. Having said that, I'm glad my record of being right all the time isn't in danger of being upset, since this one made me laugh from beginning to end. Even if I barely remember why! Amusing and enjoyable check this flick out at the $1.00 showings or on rental and you'll know it's money well spent!
