Baby Mama

Baby Mama ironically refers to the immaturity of Angie Ostrowiski who is hired to be a surrogate mother while barely able to take care of herself. Angie is played by Amy Poehler and her fellow Saturday Night Live Weekend Update co-anchor Tina Fey stars in the movie as Kate Holbrook. At the expense of her uterus, Kate has clawed her way up the touchy feely ladder of a Philadelphia organic food company run by Barry (an over the top whole earth Steve Martin). After achieving it all her biological clock goes off but conceiving proves inconceivable so she turns to Sigourney Weaver as the matronly but super fertile Chaffee Bicknell who provides high cost and allegedly rigorously pre-screened surrogates. Angie and Kate end up rooming together where a friendship of their opposite personalities goes through a rocky gestation period. In the interim Kate meets Rob played by Greg Kinnear and Angie hidden agenda becomes known. For a while now Baby Mama has been running a pretty funny trailer but the good news is that there are a lot more belly laughs begotten from where that came and a wicked soundtrack to boot.
