Fey and Pohler are an appealing pair, with Fey's wry, deadpan delivery a perfect complement to Poehler's fearlessly juvenile brand of humor.

The reason this movie works so well though, is similar to why a good romantic comedy works. The chemistry between the two leads, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler is fantastic.

Baby Mama adheres fairly closely to the conventions of the studio comedy, although it's never actually predictable, probably because the characters and subject matter are so novel.
Oct 18, 2008
Top CriticBaby Mama quickly and lazily adopts all the annoying attributes of the usual fare.
Sep 4, 2008
Austin Powers screen mastermind Michael McCullers is the guy behind this sorta same-sex parenting satire, as SNL's Tina Fey and Amy Poehler do an extreme odd couple for laughs duet, ripping into the burgeoning baby consumer industry.
Sep 3, 2008
It's very much the women's show, and they prove enjoyable company, but there's more sugar than vinegar in the script which is stretched to find laughs.
Aug 29, 2008
The film is not exactly original but it is a lot of fun, thanks to the skill with which Fey and Poehler play to one another's strengths.
Aug 29, 2008
An under-achieving, lightweight movie that settles for a few competent gags and doesn't bother to take risks.
Aug 29, 2008
Fey and Poehler are better than 95 per cent of the innumerable male comedy double acts around at the moment. May they never part, because their work here is an utter joy.
Aug 18, 2008
This formulaic feelgood romantic comedy delivers everything it promises with a streamlined screenplay about a single professional woman, Kate (Tina Fey) who at 37 is desperate to have a baby and the complications that beset her plans
Aug 14, 2008
There are plenty of laughs in this likeable and uplifting comedy that puts its own twist on life, love, relationships and babies.
