Laughter and hearty guffaws abound in this comical look at 37-year-old career woman Kate Holbrook's (i30 Rock's/i 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 (iSaturday Night Live's/i 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. --iTami Horiuchi/i brbr p span class="h1"strongBeyond iBaby Mama/i on DVD/strong/span table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="4" tr align="center" valign="top" class="tiny" td width="33%" img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Q7LLmkzwL._SL160_AA115_.jpg" border="0"brMore Tina Fey/td td width="33%" img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/515E-BdDuXL._SL160_AA115_.jpg" border="0"briBaby Mama/i on Blu-ray/td td width="33%" img src= "http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51IquPuc18L._SL160_AA115_.jpg" border="0"brMore from Universal Studios/td/tr /table brbrbr span class="h1"strongStills from IBaby Mama/I (Click for larger image)/strong/span table border="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%" cellspacing="4"p p tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg border="0" align=left src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/Universal/BabyMama/BabyMama1L_S.jpg" br /tdp tdimg border="0" align=left src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/Universal/BabyMama/BabyMama2L_S.jpg" br /td tdimg border="0" align=left src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/Universal/BabyMama/BabyMama3L_S.jpg" br/tdp tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg border="0" align=left src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/Universal/BabyMama/Wide1_S.jpg"br/td p tdimg border="0" align=left src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/Universal/BabyMama/Wide2_S.jpg"br/td tdimg border="0" align=left src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/Universal/BabyMama/Wide3_S.jpg"br/td br/tdp tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg border="0" align=left src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/Universal/BabyMama/Wide4_S.jpg"br/td p tdimg border="0" align=left src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/Universal/BabyMama/Wide5_S.jpg"br/td tdimg border="0" align=left src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/Universal/BabyMama/Wide6_S.jpg"br/td /tr /table /p

 Cute Flick! May 31, 2008
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
This is another flick my 15 year old granddaughter drug me to, kicking and screaming (practically). It sounded DUMB, but she kept whining and I caved in. Well, guess what? I LOVED it! I was laughing so hard she kept banging me all through the movie to shut me up (saw it in the theater).br /br /I see it got some less-than-wonderful reviews, and, as we know, everybody has different opinions.It begins with a single 37-year old career woman who is suddenly bitten by the baby bug and she knows her biological clock is ticking. She tries finding a "donor," but that seems to scare away her dates. She tries a sperm bank, looking for a suitable specimine who looks like he might produce a handsome child. Then she considers invetro but the doc tells her she probably can't get pregnant anyway because her uterus is T shaped. This leads her to seek out a surrogate mother to carry her child for her.br /br /Now I agree, this doesn't really sound funny but it is. Tina Fey is great as the wanna-be momma. A yoga version of Steve Martin with a long ponytail is her boss as she becomes Vice President of Development of a large organic health food store chain. Sigorney Weaver runs the surrogate agency and for a cool $100K, will fix you up with a "thoroughly screened" surrogate :-). I don't know everyone's name but the surrogate is a hoot, and her and Tina clash constantly, even to the point where they have to both attend a conflict support group. The surrogate has a greedy boyfriend, too. Greg Kinnear turns up in the movie, too and I just love him in the movies. The friendly doorman at Tina's hotel has a cool part, too. It's really a great movie and has a lot of fine actors in it. Kathy W gives this a big thumbs up!
Gotta see it! July 6, 2008

I went to see this movie last night and I am waiting for it to come out on dvd. I am telling everyone I know how funny it is. I have never laughed SO hard in my life. I had tears streaming down my face and my cheeks hurt from laughing. I think it's a great movie and I plan to purchase it as soon as it's released.
Another Pretty Good Chick Flick!!! September 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As I've mentioned before, I'm not usually a chick-flick guy, but I watch them on rare occasions. This is a very funny movie about a 37 year old woman named Kate Holbrook who desperately wants to have a baby, she's unable to, because she has a different-shaped uterus. She hires Angie Ostrowski to become a surrogate mother. Angie is sometimes childish and gets on Kate's nerves. Angie starts to feel guilty because she's not really pregnant. (Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were awesome together, and they are both incredibly beautiful!) If you love comedies about pregnancy, you'll love BABY MAMA!!!

Shadow Watcherbr /Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lakebr /br /BABY MAMA is one of the funniest comedies to come along in quite some time. br /br /Written and directed by Michael McCullers, the movie stars the always hilarious SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE gal pals, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, in what is sort of a female version of THE ODD COUPLE.br /br /Fey plays a classy, successful, well organized career woman who yearns to have a baby but, according to her doctor, cannot conceive. With the help of surrogate broker Sigourney Weaver, she hires the free spirited Poehler to carry her baby to term, but she gets more than she bargained for when Amy and her n.g. boy friend (Dax Shepard) have a fight and the blonde from South Philly moves in with her.br /br /These gals' lifestyles are so diverse that they make Oscar Madison and Felix Unger seem like the perfect pair. Nevertheless, Tina is determined to make the relationship work, because that baby Amy is carrying is hers.br /br /Or, she thinks it is.br /br /Greg Kinnear, as the "Prince Charming" who enters Tina's life, and Steve Martin, as her somewhat unconventional boss, co-star in the film, along with Romany Malco, Maura Tierney and Holland Taylor.br /br /DVD extras include an alternate ending, which we prefer over the one used in the theatrical release, deleted scenes, and some "Behind the Scenes" featurettes.br /br / Michael B. Druxman, author of ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD (available December 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
