Synopsis:

 

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.

 

Angie's Rating: C : This movie was funny in parts, but overall it failed for me.  The most disappointing part is that the funniest parts of the movie are in the previews.... I should have known, but I thought Tina Fey would have been a bit more successful with this one.  Some scenes felt forced and there was never great chemistry between the actors... just not silly enough or sincere enough to win me over.  Wait until it hits video if you still really want to see it. 

 

Jennifer M's Rating: B- : I found the beginning of the film funny, but was slightly disappointed with the ending.  Fey is a great writer and I believe the ending was just too predictable.  Nevertheless it is certainly worth a rental when released on video or a matinee ticket price.

 

Robin's Rating: C : I thought it was okay.  It was easy to watch but a little stupid overall.  I wouldn't rave about it but it wasn't horrible either.

 

Jen's Rating: D : Waste of time.  Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are much better than this.  Bad editing, some parts didn't even make sense!  I think I laughed once maybe twice.

 

The Freak's Rating: D- : I agree with Jen.  The only thing that saves this from failing is Steve Martin.  Fey's character was overly harsh in some scenes to the point where you didn't even want her to have the baby.  Poehler was a complete idiot sometimes, then sweet in others.  Horrible script, mediocre acting, crap...just crap.
