Plot Summary: In a comedy that brings together some of today's sharpest talent, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler team with writer/director Michael McCullers and producers Lorne Michaels and John Goldwyn to tell the story of two women, one apartment and the nine months that will change their lives: "Baby Mama."

Successful and single businesswoman Kate Holbrook (Tina Fey) has long put her career ahead of a personal life. Now 37, she's finally determined to have a kid on her own. But her plan is thrown a curve ball after she discovers she has only a million-to-one chance of getting pregnant. Undaunted, the driven Kate allows South Philly working girl Angie Ostrowiski (Amy Poehler) to become her unlikely surrogate. Simple enough...

After learning from the steely head (Sigourney Weaver) of their surrogacy center that Angie is pregnant, Kate goes into precision nesting mode: reading childcare books, baby-proofing the apartment and researching top pre-schools. But the executive's well-organized strategy is turned upside down when her Baby Mama shows up at her doorstep with no place to live.

An unstoppable force meets an immovable object as structured Kate tries to turn vibrant Angie into the perfect expectant mom. In a comic battle of wills, they will struggle their way through preparation for the baby's arrival. And in the middle of this tug-of-war, they'll discover two kinds of family: the one you're born to and the one you make.

I'm riding the Tina Fey wave right now. Hang ten.

We'll be going to the theater for this, although it may be a better rental.

Holy moly, I had no idea this movie was in existence and I've seen two different trailers so far and each one and me literally guffawing out loud. I will definitely be seeing this when it comes out.

It's totally okay if the plot is just eh - I'm just lookin' for the laughs!

Just watched it. Funny enough to watch once I guess. Dax Shepard's character was a riot and Steve Martin was crazy as always.

For some reason I thought Fey wrote the screenplay for this. She probably could have done much better.

Funny movie. If you like Fey and Poeller from SNL/30 Rock, you'll like this flick.
