Yeah. So. Baby Mama.
Um......it ain't that great.
I didn't see this coming. I really didn't. My blinding mega-love for Tina and Amy must've distracted me from the fact that Tina didn't write this... which, as this seems to prove, is her real key.
Don't get me wrong; it's good, and semi-perfect for a sort of generic popcorn movie. But it's first third is annoyingly forced and unfunny. So much so, that by the time it does get mega-hilarious (which it does), it feels like it's too late, which left a weird and unfamiliar taste in my mouth.But have no fear! 'Cuz Tina & Amy are comically brilliant. Especially Amy. Sure, the material isn't the best they've ever uttered - duh - but they're so awesome and transcendent and divine that they'll be funny doing anything. Ever.
Oh, and Sigourney Weaver is brilliant. That is all. *cries a little bit*

It hasn't opened here yet, but I'm wary about going to see it. When I heard about it, I was excited, purely for the Poehler/Fey combo but then when the trailer hit the net...I was a little disapointed.
I actually thought the trailer was damn hilarious... but, while not 'giving away all the funny moments,' it made those moments less funny in the movie itself, which helped the disappointment I felt.
It's still worth seeing though, if only for Tina and Amy, and Weaver's awesome insane cameo.
Well, the trailer wasn't awful, but I only smiled once or twice and only laughed aloud once (Amy peeing in the sink). I'll still buy a ticket once it comes out, just because girl-buddy comedies aren't supposed to be box-office viable.
I am still wanting to see this.
*Tina and Amy for life*
I haven't seen this movie and won't unless paid for my torture...the one Arrested Development episode Amy Poehler was in was the only good thing I've ever seen her in. And poor Tina Fey...such and pretty woman and such a horrible 30 Rock.
