Sitcom hijinks ensue. The appeal of this one is all in the cast.

| Original Score: C | Sep 21, 2022

Not a complete waste of time, Poehler has some inspired moments, but it is a big waste of a talented cast.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 31, 2021

Fey is easily one of the most intelligent and funny actresses working in comedy today.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 2, 2020

Baby Mama's principal issue is in not being written by Fey.

| Jan 28, 2020

While this comedy does have a few mild laughs, it mostly misfires, thanks to a script that is nowhere near the talent level of its cast.

| Original Score: C- | Oct 29, 2019

While the proceedings may be predictable and pockmarked with clichés, the compulsive watchability of the film's stars makes it a minor success.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 6, 2019

When Baby Mama is funny, it's funny.

| Dec 15, 2017

With a cast this great, is it so selfish to ask for something memorable?

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 21, 2014

Baby Mama is far more funny than it has any right to be and boasts a dynamite pairing that shows plenty of promise for the future: here's hoping Fey and Poehler pick something a little less formulaic for their next project.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 14, 2012

Fey and Poehler have great chemistry and they truly compliment each other well

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 28, 2012

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 17, 2011

This is one of those terrible terrible creations that just leaves me feeling a little uneasy about the way the film industry works.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 8, 2011

Fey and Pohler are an appealing pair, with Fey's wry, deadpan delivery a perfect complement to Poehler's fearlessly juvenile brand of humor.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 14, 2009

The reason this movie works so well though, is similar to why a good romantic comedy works. The chemistry between the two leads, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler is fantastic.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 18, 2008

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 18, 2008

I've been majorly disappointed by romantic comedies over the past year or so.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 18, 2008

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 18, 2008

Baby Mama quickly and lazily adopts all the annoying attributes of the usual fare.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 4, 2008

Austin Powers screen mastermind Michael McCullers is the guy behind this sorta same-sex parenting satire, as SNL's Tina Fey and Amy Poehler do an extreme odd couple for laughs duet, ripping into the burgeoning baby consumer industry.

| Sep 3, 2008

It's very much the women's show, and they prove enjoyable company, but there's more sugar than vinegar in the script which is stretched to find laughs.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 29, 2008
