    Storyline

    Edit
    Successful and single businesswoman Kate Holbrook 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 to become her unlikely surrogate. Simple enough ... After learning from the steely head 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 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. —Universal Pictures

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In every scene she is in, Amy Poehler sports a different hairstyle and never repeats the same one twice.
    • Goofs
      Angie would never be able to be a surrogate without having a child of her own first. All reputable surrogacy agencies in the US require their surrogates to have had at least one full-term, live birth before becoming a surrogate.
    • Quotes

      Kate Holbrook: Did you just stick your gum under my coffee table?

      Angie Ostrowiski: [nervous] I don't know.

      Kate Holbrook: What do you mean, you don't know? You think you're at an Arby's right now?

      Angie Ostrowiski: You know what? I wish I was at an Arby's 'cause there's better food and cooler people there!

      Kate Holbrook: [looks under the coffee table] Did you stick *all* this gum under here?

      Angie Ostrowiski: I don't know! Maybe you stuck some of it under there.

      Kate Holbrook: Yeah, actually, you might be right. 'Cause sometimes, when I work a really long day, I like to come home and chew a huge wad of Bubblicious gum and stick it under my reclaimed barnwood coffee table!

      Angie Ostrowiski: Bitch, I don't know your life!

    Should've been better
    The entertaining comedy duo of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler don't quite live up to expectations in this movie. Those two are usually very fun together and while there are some amusing moments in Baby Mama, I ultimately found it to be a bit underwhelming. A good supporting cast can't lift it out of mediocrity either.
