      Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B+ Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Melissa Anderson Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Carina Chocano Los Angeles Times Baby Mama adheres fairly closely to the conventions of the studio comedy, although it's never actually predictable, probably because the characters and subject matter are so novel. Rated: 3/5 Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault Sitcom hijinks ensue. The appeal of this one is all in the cast. Rated: C Sep 21, 2022 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Not a complete waste of time, Poehler has some inspired moments, but it is a big waste of a talented cast. Rated: 2/5 Jan 31, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Fey is easily one of the most intelligent and funny actresses working in comedy today. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 2, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      alan g Bad movie, bad acting, bad plot. Avoid. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Savannah G I love everything that Tina and Amy do so this movie was entertaining some funny one liner that make them who they are but otherwise the writing was subpar - you know what you will be getting if you want a good movie to play in the background while you work this would be the one! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review EllaJo r I wish these to would make more movies together Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Robert R I've never been so offended in my life. I was expecting a sexual relationship between both girls. But i was fooled. 2 thumbs down Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/10/23 Full Review Cees T I don't recommend it, but it was amusing enough. 6.5 / 10 - Okay, and good if rounded up. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/26/23 Full Review Aaron S Middling romantic-ish comedy about a woman pushing 40 wanting to have a baby. It's light, sort of funny sometimes, and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are fun. It's overall just not very worth investing much energy into and has an ending that's supposed to be "feel-good" but in reality is really off-putting.
