"An amalgamation of various set pieces not written by Fey or Poehler proving disastrous and thereby taking me five nights to finish it. If they only had let the talented female leads write the thing it might have been salvageable. Steve Martin was a paid actor in the film. The last act is a joke. "

"With Halloween less than a month away, it’s time to start thinking about what to go as. That is, if you haven’t already. A good costume-loving cinephile typically knows well in advance what he or she will dress up as for Halloween (and Comic-Con, too). But if you’re one to wait until the last minute, and also one who likes to be a lot more contemporary than, say, dressing up as a Ghostbuster or Edward Scissorhands, I’ve got some suggestions for you for costumes based on recent films. Check them out after the jump. “Nuke the Fridge” - from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull For this costume, you need to prepare

"There’s a lot of potential in a movie about a woman who encounters complication after complication as she tries to contract with a surrogate mother in order to have a baby despite the fact that she’s a busy career woman with little to nothing going on in the romantic prospect department. Heck, even the synopsis sounds pretty darn funny. But while Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, both funny ladies in their own right, perform admirably in Baby Mama, they’re too often undone by a script that doesn’t quite know how to realize its own potential. Every time it comes close to really breaking through into really being laugh-out-loud funny it stops short and goes for sentimental instead. The exception to that rule is whenever Steve Martin appears on screen. A lot of people made not of his performance when the movie came out and he’s worth every word that was written. His role as a new-age lunatic who also happens to own a huge, Whole Foods-type store chain is among his very best. In fact I’m tempt ... "

"Righteous Kill reunites two acting greats, Al Pacino ("Ocean's Thirteen") and Robert De Niro ("Stardust"). I was intrigued enough to get to the theater, but really the film is just a glorified made-for-TV cop drama. It's very predictable. Neither De Niro or Pacino really bring anything new to their roles of cops tracking a serial killer who is probably one of their own. I did enjoy seeing De Niro play the more angry role. Just wait for this to come on cable.With funnywomen Tina Fey ("30 Rock") and Amy Poehler ("Saturday Night Live") in the leads, Baby Mama should have been a big basket of funny. But, alas, it was not. Fey wants a baby, but is unable to conceive, so she hires Poehler to be her surrogate. Poehler is white-trash. Fey is upscale business. I guess writer/director Michael McCullers ("Thunderbirds," Baby Mama is his directorial debut) thought hijinks would ensue. However, the only funny bits were Poehler peeing in the sink and everything involving the doorman, Romany Mal ... "

"I remember reading ana article on Jezebel when this first came out, about the complete lack of female buddy movies, and when trying to write a list of them for work, realised that jezebel were completely right. I really wanted to like this movie, and to be able to argue that there were mulitple levels it could be understood on, and hidden complexities and that all in all it was a pretty important event. Unfortunately, the movie was almost entirely, meh, predictable, not particularly well written, and the same type of bullshit we've all seen tramped out a million times before. I like Tina and Amy and think they're both very funny ladies, but this appealing to the lowest common denominator movie is uninspiring. "

"It´s kind of sad, honestly, how much I was looking forward to "Baby Mama." Oh, I knew it would be a low-brow comedy, but with Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and a cast of enjoyable actors, it couldn´t be any worse than the Judd Apatow productions from last summer. Besides, I personally find Fey to be a top notch comedian capable to rescuing just about any material from the gutter. Maybe my expectations were just too high. It´s not that "Baby Mama" isn´t funny-it is. It´s not that the story isn´t grounded in reality-it is. The narrative takes one turn too many, opting to introduce a character for no reason other than to give Fey´s Kate Holbrook a romantic interest. (Yeah, I know he has one other purpose, but that would be a spoiler.) Desperate to get pregnant and with a "bad" T-shaped uterus, Holbrook decides to go the surrogacy route. Enter Angie Ostrowiski (Poehler) and her common law husband Carl (Dax Shepard). She´s willing to carry the ba ... "

"If you think weekend update with Amy Poehler and Tina Fey is funny then you would probable like this movie. I myself don't think Amy Poehler or Tina Fey are funny, so coming into this movie I had low expectations. The movie was not that bad, but their were not any moments that I thought were absolutely hilarious. For the most part the movie could be kind of funny at times, but as a whole the movie was not that entertaining. The movie was also very predictable, especially the ending.Basically the movie is about Kate Holbrook a single working woman who wants a baby, the only problem is her doctor doesn't like her uterus (I think the way they phrased that was suppose to be funny or something...). So Kate finds a woman Angie (Amy Poehler) to carry her baby. Then Kate meets a guy who works at a juice store that is competing with Jamba Juice (although they said in the movie that Jamba Juice was an evil corporation, I got the feeling it was an advertisement considering the amount of times ...

"Baby Mama had a big weekend. The Tina Fey comedy made $18 million dollars, beating Harold and Kumar’s take by about $4 million and easily enough for the top box office slot. Still, the stoner comedy more than made back its production budget in its first weekend, and that’s cause enough for Warner execs to take credit for handling their first post-merger New Line release successfully. The Hollywood Reporter says IFC is in “final negotiations” to distribute The Pleasure of Being Robbed, the Josh Safdie feature which has been the subject of much chatter since it was announced as the only American film to screen at the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes.THR’s Gregg Goldstein is calling this turn of events ” a final triumph for SXSW producer Matt Dentler,” who selected the film for his final Emerging Visions sidebar before departin "
