October 12, 2009A very Tina Fey-ish effort. Entertaining, a little unexpected, but nothing too original for it not to sell.

May 13, 2009Jeeez, this is an awful piece of cruft. Not only did I not laugh once, but the only time I actually smiled was when Steve Martin does his staring sharing. Martin could have saved this. Too little Steve, too much of someone's stale idea of funny.

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Neither Tina Fey nor Amy Poehler, former Saturday Night Live colleagues, has a compelling big-screen presence. And as a team they're no Martin and Lewis. Still, their lightweight double act passes the... full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
The funny, felicitous Baby Mama exploits every stage of pregnancy except the first. No hanky-panky to bump this plot in motion. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
This new comedy is what you could call a surrogate comedy with familiar Saturday Night Live jokes implanted in a generic Baby Boom script. full review

Even if the picture is softer than it needs to be, it still resists devolving into something warm and squishy. full review

Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
There are gags and scraps of action that give the movie fits of buoyancy, and these tend to come not so much from the younger, eager performers as from the old hands. full review

July 16, 2008I liked it but thought it would have been funnier because Tina Fey is hilarious
in SNL and 30 Rock. -
