Baby Mama: Review By globsnob

Baby Mama strives to hit the smart comedy mark. That specific niche requires a fairly fast paced story. Michael McCullers falters a bit in this area. It seems like he was able to come up with good ideas for the previews, but it was challenging for him to create a steady story to connect all the points. Perhaps McCullers does better with a team of writers (as his former days on SNL) rather than striking it out on his own. But he does a good job explaining technicalities without bogging down the rhythm too much.

It is a joy to see Tina Fey and Amy Poehler headlining in Baby Mama. However, Baby Mama lags a little too much in between jokes wasted on the previews. Leaving the theater, I cannot help but wonder if this movie would be better if Tina Fey had the time to write the script herself. But you must admit, Baby Mama is the smart comedy heads and shoulders above a Harold and Kumar sequel.
