Actually, the cast is chock-full of name supporting actors. Greg Kinnear plays Fey's obligatory love interest; Dax Shepard plays Poehler's fellow white trash boyfriend; Maura Tierney plays Fey's sister; and most notably, Sigourney Weaver and Steve Martin both pop up a few times in near-cameos. They both play one-joke characters, but Martin especially gets much more mileage out of his than most comedians could get away with.

If the previews and ads seem appealing to you, you'll probably have a pleasant enough time. But...I don't know. On one level, it feels unfair to penalize a pretty decent movie for not being a great movie, but then again, Fey has proved time and time again that she can do better than this. You'll get more laughs in one episode of 30 Rock than you will in the entirety of Baby Mama. And it's free.

Movie Grade: C+

Synopsis:

Successful and single businesswoman Kate Holbrook (Tina Fey) has long put her career ahead of a personal life. Now 37, she's finally determined to have a kid on her own. But her plan is thrown a curve ball after she discovers she has only a million-to-one chance of getting pregnant. Undaunted, the driven Kate allows South Philly working girl Angie Ostrowiski (Amy Poehler) to become her unlikely surrogate. Simple enough...

After learning from the steely head (Sigourney Weaver) of their surrogacy center that Angie is pregnant, Kate goes into precision nesting mode: reading childcare books, baby-proofing the apartment and researching top pre-schools. But the executive's well-organized strategy is turned upside down when her Baby Mama shows up at her doorstep with no place to live.

An unstoppable force meets an immovable object as structured Kate tries to turn vibrant Angie into the perfect expectant mom. In a comic battle of wills, they will struggle their way through preparation for the baby's arrival. And in the middle of this tug-of-war, they'll discover two kinds of family: the one you're born to and the one you make.
