Rated: 
MPAA: PG-13
Star Rating: 
★★½
The Skinny: Unable to have a child due to her funky uterus, a successful career woman (Tina Fey) enlists a trashy surrogate mom (Amy Poehler) to fulfill her dream of motherhood.

Reminded Us Of… We can't remember any of the titles, but it's like a handful of chick flicks that are tolerable but not really that good.

The Good: Fey is friggin' adorable and Poehler is funny at times; it's an hour and a half; women will like it a lot.

The Bad: It's pretty clear Fey's putting all her efforts into 30 Rock, because this was lazy and predictable; women who watch this might feel compelled to have a stupid baby.

Line That Made Us LOL: "It feels like I'm shitting a knife."

Best Extra: There's not really a "best," because they're all pretty weak (making-of, deleted scenes, commentary), but the worst is the alternate ending. Good thing they used the half-crappy one in the movie.
