Lighten up folks - it's a comedy. i laughed my cabootie off. Tina and AmyP were awesome and i hope they make more "buddy" films. I'll go. cause i like laughing. y'all should try it sometime.

This was a pleasant, if unremarkable, movie. Tina Fey gets slammed for her acting sometimes, but I think she delivers exactly what you expect from her, and Amy Poehler was much better than I expected.as the trashy surrogate mom. However, she seemed about 10 years too old for the role. I liked that Tina Fey was allowed to be a very capable businesswoman, who doesn't mess up her work with "baby fever." Also, the ending struck me as being a bit tossed away, without the ooomph it should have had. Overall, I enjoyed this movie--it's lightweight, but it's a fun night out.… Expand

This was a funny movie. Loved every minute of it. Tina, Amy, Greg, and Steve were great together.

I thought tina & amy where great together, but the movie was so boring... it could have been over in 15 mins.

Steve Martin was terrific, but the rest of the movie was pretty much contrived and without direction or purpose. The acting quality wasn't really bad, as the actors and actresses were doing the best they could to turn a poorly written script into something.

Could have been better if they hadn't put 80% of the funny parts in the trailer. Overall, not a horrible movie, but predictable.

My parents took me to see this movie in theaters. I looked away, but when we left the theater he said it was"pretty funny." I finally watched 2 or 3 weeks ago on DVD. It really was not what I had expected. I'm not saying the jokes aren't funny, they're just not enough to say the film dosen't have flaws. It is lightweight(which means it dosen't deliver as much as it could) and predictable. Plus some of the jokes are rather vulgar, and it's 12 minutes too long. But it elkes very lightly on the stand-alone fact that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are 2 of the best-known female comics we have around today. My conclusion: It's okay.… Expand

My wife wanted to see this morning, and I just knew I was going to hate it. After seeing it, I take that back. There was some really good laughs in this movie. While I probably will never watch it again, it did a decent job entertaining me.

I think the critics are holding this to an unnecessarily high standard. As far as movies go that i have seen lately, this has been the funniest, and that includes Judd Apatow's latest, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Apatow's was terrifically funny, don't get me wrong, but it lacked a certain relatability that i think Baby Mama possessed. This is not 30 Rock, and Tina Fey did not write this. i think critics are holding it to Fey standards, and no this is not a Tina Fey movie, it is a movie starring Tina Fey. that being said, i am a huge 30 Rock fan and still found this movie very enjoyable. This movie is what you think it is, it doesn't promise to be anything more. but it is a very good time. i recommend it over Forgetting Sarah Marshall. (though, if you have the time, i do think you should see that too).… Expand

Good natured story about a career woman trying to answer the call of her biological clock. The plot line is predictable but the excellent cast makes the well trodden material entertaining. Steve Martin and Sigourney Weaver are particularly good in wacky supporting roles. It’s beyond me how this film won the weekend box office derby, but I can happily cheer for Tina Fey and Any Poehler; hopefully this will give them the clout to do something a little riskier next time.… Expand

Utterly predictable, poorly written, poorly acted and pathetically directed. The director seems to have no semblance of an idea of how to properly time jokes. Most gags don't work and only Amy Pohler's character ever comes close to being likable. The majority of the movie feels like Tina Fey is personally scolding you. Maybe I'd feel better about this if it were a Lindsay Lohan movie or something else with no-talent actors. It's sad to consider just how much great talent (Martin, Hodgman, Kinnear, Weaver and shit, even Fey and Poehler) was wasted on nonsense characters here. Don't waste your time here folks, this film is the least amusing of the season. Probably not even worth watching on TV.… Expand

About three good laughs through the entire movie- about the same as a 120 second skit on SNL. Should have stayed home and watched that. What a waste of great talent.

Bigger the audience, bigger the laughs. More surprises than most modern comedies. Professional critics don't like comedies much anyway, so they should be ignored on this genre.

Racist movie with a racist title. At first glance, I thought it must have been distributed by 20th Century Fox.

Lighten up idiots! its a comedy. if you would actually pay attention to what was going on, you wouldnt be so da** flipping stupid. try laughing and not being so stuck up with what you watch. This was an amazing movie and maybe you should get a brain so that you know whats funny and whats not. you people will never get a date if you dont lighten up!

Alot better then I expected it to be. Had a few good laughs, the cast was great! A nice dvd rental.

I don't know who Tina Fey is, nor do I care. She sucks as an actress and is in this stupid movie about nothing. Badly done in all respects. Not at all funny. Just dumb.

Pretty boring.

Tina Fey looks more like a writer than an Emmy-nominated actress for comedy, in "Baby Mama", a movie that the former-SNL Weekend Update anchor didn't write. Physical comedy, or improv, is definitely not her forte. Somebody like Steve Martin, a former-standup comic, can work without a net. Fey, the surname, looks fey, the adjective, as she quavers her way through a performance-oriented video game, and especially at a night club, in which the filmmaker, leaves Fey and Amy Poehler to their own devices. As Angie Ostrowiski, the "baby mama", Poehler doesn't fare any better than her partner-in-crime. At first, she comes off as a "white-trash" caricature(in one scene, "Baby Mama" rips off Bobby and Peter Farrelly's best gag in "Kingpin"), but then the film pulls punches, so much so, there's hardly any comic contrast between Kate Holbrook(Fey) and Angie. For "Baby Mama" to work, Angie had to be the funny version of Juliette Lewis' character in Dominic Sena's "Kalifornia". Since "Baby Mama" isn't wise, or perceptive about surrogate motherhood, it should've gone buck-wild on the redneck jokes. Since it was written by a man, why pretend otherwise? Fey should take solace, however, in the fact that a fellow bespectacled writer wasn't very funny either, when he starred in Paul Mazursky's "Scenes from a Mall", a movie he didn't write. Call "Baby Mama" a learning curve for the hot creator(but not hotter than Lisa Loeb) of "30 Rock". The Tina Fey backlash doesn't start here.… Expand

I think this is definitely the feel good comedy of the year, so far. It was predictable, which is why I didn't give it a ten, but it was hysterical! I think both the girls are very talented actresses, and whoever thinks Amy was miscast, I disagree.

Just another Saturday Night Live skit dragged out over ninety minutes but it does showcase Amy Poehler as a feature film star.

Cute, clever and funny. That sums it all up.
