Baby Mama (2008) 8/10

Starring : Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Greg Kinnear, Romany Malco, Maura Tierney, Dax Shepard, Sigourney Weaver, Steve Martin
Director : Michael McCullers
Running Time : 98 mins

Business woman Kate Holbrook (Fey) desperately wants to have a baby, the problem being she's single, 37, and has a T-shaped womb. Her only option seems to be to either adopt or to hire a surrogate. Unfortunately she ends up with Angie (Poehler), who gives white trash a bad name, and finds herself living with thenightmare woman while trying to keep her impending parenthood a secret from her new potential beau Rob (Kinnear).

Thre are some great performances here from two of Saturday Night Live's most popular comediennes. Poehler is brilliantly over the top as the classless Angie without going so far as to make her unlikeable, while Fey plays her usual uptight business woman perfectly. There's some great cameos from Steve Martin and a wonderfully annoying Sigourney Weaver, and look out for some terrible dance scenes from Fey.
