I wasn't expecting much with a name like
Baby Mama, but I was certainly expecting something.....anything that was remotely funny. I would have thought that they would have gotten a few good laughs just by accident. Nope. This is just a very bad movie that really doesn't deliver even the slightest laugh at all. What's amazing is that the cast itself is stacked with some of the funniest people on the planet:
Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Steve Martin, Will Forte. Along with the funny people there is also a good cast of actors that include
Greg Kinnear, Sigourney Weaver, Dax Shepard , Maura Tierney and
Romany Malco. But it all goes back to what makes a movie work: story. If the story isn't good, no amount of comedians or grade-A actors are going to be able to do much with it.
I love
Amy and
Tina and really wanted to like this. This is definitely one to
Skip though.
