DVD Synopsis

Former Saturday Night Live "Weekend Update" co-anchors Tina Fey and Amy Poehler co-star in this baby-fever comedy about a single, career-oriented woman who previously put parenthood on hold, and is forced to hire a surrogate mother when she discovers there is only a one-in-a-million chance that she will be able to get pregnant. Kate Holbrook (Fey) is a 37-year-old business executive who has always put her professional life before her personal life, but these days her biological clock is ticking louder than ever before. As with everything else she has accomplished in life, Kate is determined to have a child on her own terms. Unfortunately for Kate, the chance of her ever becoming pregnant is slim to none. Undaunted, a willful Kate drafts South Philly working-class girl Angie Ostrowiski (Poehler) -- a woman who may just be her polar opposite -- to be a surrogate mother. Subsequently informed by the head of the surrogacy center (Sigourney Weaver) that her surrogate is indeed pregnant, the excited mother-to-be soon purchases every child-rearing book she can find and excitedly begins the nesting process. But life hasn't quit throwing Kate curveballs just yet, because when a pregnant Angie shows up on her doorstep with no place to live, the woman who once thrived on order finds her life descending into chaos. Now, as Kate attempts to transform Angie into the ideal expectant mother, this odd couple will discover that families aren't always biological, but occasionally formed through friendship as well. Writer Michael McCullers, who authored the screenplays for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and Undercover Brother in addition to working on Saturday Night Live, makes his feature directorial debut with a self-penned screenplay. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Watching this movie, it takes a few minutes to realize that this is not Liz Lemmon (Thirty Rock)-
While it is also, not a movie up for any awards, I rather enjoyed it! It was nice to be able to not have to think much while laughing at a few, very funny spots. Tina Fey is always a great actress, and thankfully Amy Poehler was not like her television personna on Parks and Recreation.
Tina and Amy make a great team, and throwing the goodlooking Greg Kinnear in there is always a treat.
Predictable ending, too bad, but this movie should be on your wish list. Not a bad waste of time!!

Good for a one time watch. They could have done away with some of the scenes and added more laughs.

This movie is extremely funny. The chemistry throughout is amazing. The movie does have a few parts that do not make sense and were not needed. The original ending and the bonus feature alternate ending are both funny. Would watch again. Would love to see them make a sequel.

This is a mediocre movie made up of some good moments, like Tina Fey singing Girls Just Wanna Have Fun REALLY badly to the American Idol Xbox game. When you watch this movie, the worst part about it is KNOWING Tina Fey can do better and feeling like she gave up on the intelligence of her audience for the female equivalent of some fart-and-beer jokes.

The plot of the movie was pretty meaningless but it had some funny parts. Its good for a few laughs.
