Baby Mama | Review

Pros: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are strong actresses and are able to keep the film interesting, even though the plot is predictable and too simple; the two have enough chemistry to keep the film from becoming boring. I liked that there were some shocking or unpredictable parts in the film, like when we find out that Angie was faking her pregnancy. However, there’s another twist soon after we discover this truth. Also, the baby shower scene was the best part of the movie, because it has a lot of emotion stuck into it.

Cons: The plot is too flat, too simple, and too predictable. The jokes weren’t that funny – I laughed at maybe one or two parts (“Bitch, I don’t know your life!”). What happens to Tina Fey’s character right at the end of the movie was extremely predictable. This film is really lucky for having such lovable stars as Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. I’m 100% positive that if Tina Fey had written this movie, it would’ve been a lot better (she did a wonderful job writing “Mean Girls”).

Two out of four Kents.
