Baby Mama drama By Carli Saldsman West Boca High Posted April 24 2008
A fertile treat featuring the greatest comedy on the planet, Baby Mama is an hour and thirty-six minutes of pure entertainment. The Saturday Night Live cast proves to be a surefire hit—no ifs, ands or buts about it. And although the film is all about girl power—who needs a man to get pregnant these days—most everyone will find this "baby mama drama" absolutely hilarious. The film is better than portrayed, making the story so clever and enjoyable. Tina Fey never ceases to impress, and although Baby Mama is no Mean Girls (2004), the film is top notch in the world of comedy. At 37-years-old, single businesswoman Kate Holbrook (Tina Fey) has finally decided she wants a baby. However, this task is not as easy as it may seem. Kate can't get pregnant (even though she has sticky notes on her bathroom mirror saying "be fertile"). Although devastated, she decides her only option left is to find a surrogate mother. She then meets the very eccentric Angie (Amy Poehler), who agrees to have Kate's baby. Excited and anxious, Kate begins reading baby books and learning all the ins and outs of raising a child. But, without warning, Kate's baby mama shows up to her apartment with no place to go. The two butt heads more than ever, but through all the fuss, inappropriate mannerisms and drunken night out, both Kate and Angie form an everlasting bond. Directed and written by Michael McCullers, Baby Mama is a refreshing comedy with a cast that is eager to impress. Tine Fey and Amy Poehler's chemistry, who are best known for their work on SNL, is like a day in Disney Land—pure magic. Fey plays the role of Kate with as much eloquence as needed, and Poehler is a natural baby mama. Also adding to this eccentric mix is the popular comic, Steve Martin (Pink Panther). Martin takes on the role of Kate's very spiritual, I'm-from-another-planet-and-totally-insane type boss. Martin gives Baby Mama a star quality status, but is not essential to the overall sentiment of the story. This film is full of surprises which provide even more laugh-out-loud moments. Think Knocked Up and Austin Powers humor, except Baby Mama includes an unexpected plot with an ever-so cute fairy - tale ending. |
