The baby craze in Hollywood continues. Baby Mama is the latest comedy from Austin Powers 2 & 3 scribe Michael McCullers who is making his directorial debut. Baby Mama takes recent pregnancy comedies like Knocked Up (accidental pregnancy) & Juno (accidental teen pregnancy) and puts the shoe on the other foot, with a story of someone actually looking to get pregnant, but can't.
Kate (Tina Fey) is a hard worker who always put her career ahead of her personal life. Now she is 37 and ready to have a baby, but when she finds out she is incapable of getting knocked up she hires immature slacker Angie (Amy Poehler) to be her surrogate. When Angie is preggers she moves in with Kate, hilarity ensues. Think The Odd Couple meets Knocked Up.
I love me some Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Fey is a real deal triple threat. She is the show runner, head writer, and star of 30 Rock. She has really come into her own recently as a fantastic comedic actress. She has won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Emmy for her acting on 30 Rock. This is her first lead in a feature.
Baby Mame directed by Michael McCullers and starring Tine Fey, Amy Poehler, Sigourney Weaver, Greg Kinnear, and Maury Tierney hits theaters on April 25th.
