Baby Mama centers around Fey's character, Kate, who while being driven to become the youngest vice president of a natural foods company, she has to reassure her mother that being single isn't an alternative lifestyle. Her deepest non-familial relationship seems to be with her doorman, who could be the first doorman to steal the show since Rhoda's Carlton. With an unhealthy uterus, Kate is forced to turn to surrogacy, being cajoled into it by the president of a surrogacy organization (Sigourney Weaver), who ironically appears to be the most fertile woman around, getting pregnant repeatedly, despite her very advanced age.

Kate's surrogate, Angie (Poehler), arrives for their first meeting in a beatup jeep with license plates that read "Bring It," along with her common-law husband, Carl, who insists on staying home with his iguana Bellboy, trying to be the 103.7 caller to a radio show after hearing Red, Red Wine. After the implantation, she leaves her husband and moves in with Kate who is doing everything she can to convince her to live a more healthy life, yet Angie only wants to lay around, eat junk, and play an American Idol video game.

To broaden the plot a little, added to the cast is the long-haired Steve Martin playing Kate's boss, the type of guy who tells stories of swimming with dolphins, and realizing he's "a great man that does great things," and rewards his employees with five minutes of eye contact. Providing the only warmth of Baby Mama until close to the end is Greg Kinnear, playing a fruit smoothie store owner, who begins a relationship with Kate after they trade barbs on a few different occasions.

So, was the film really, really funny or really, really bad? The answer is neither. With stars like Fey and Poehler and costars like Martin and Kinnear, it should knock it out of the humor park, but doesn't, yet provides adequate laughs. It was a creative enough plot, as while I thought I knew exactly where the film was going from the beginning, I was off a little.

The best surprise was at the end, as the film finally found some warmth, with Kinnear no longer having to carry that flag. Yet, despite the addition of him and Martin, it's still a chick flick through and through.
