"Much funnier than I expected, honestly enjoyed the film, why was this so under-rated?"
So when I was about to watch I thought, "Eh it'll be okay, Tina feys funny and Ill get a few laughs". Wrong, I got plenty of laughs and the story it self was much more solid than I expected. Tina Fey plays Kate, a woman who has chosen promotions over having a family or getting married until one day she realizes she wants a baby. After trying to get pregnant she finds out her chances of conceiving are a million to one and turns to a serget mother program. Amy Poehler (Angie) is chosen to carry her baby. Dax Shepard plays Carl, Angie's husband. Dax does great in this film. He's not an amazing actor by any means but sometimes people just right a part that suits him well and this is one of them. Angie gets into a fight with Carl and that drives her into moving in with Kate. A lot of funny situations a rise and then we get some twists in the tale. *****Stop reading now if you don't want to know the "twists" it doesn't ruin the movie but you may want to see for yourself.****
Angie had faked her pregnancy tests (Carol convinced her) because they really needed the money and Kates bell man Oscar (Romany Malco) finds out she's faking it. Malco is always fun to watch on screen, I wish he could've had more screen time. Any way mean while Kate's trying to secure a building for the company she works for, her boss played by the one and only Steve Martin. Why didn't any one tell me he was in this film? He reminds me of the boss from Grandmas Boy but a million times funnier. Barry (Martin) runs an organic food company and he plays the spiritual business man so well. You'll laugh every time he's on screen. While working on the job Kate meets a love interest Rob (Greg Kinnear) and it's doesn't feel fake or forced which is always a plus.
Stuff gets worse when Angie realizes she IS pregnant but she thinks it may be Carol's baby since they had sex after they realized they had to forge the test and she wants to keep it. Yeah so things get crazy but the laughs are consistent. This movie is a great rent for anyone who's looking for a relaxed afternoon. If you enjoy it you'll be quoting it for hours afterwards.
The DVD extras are average, good deleted scenes and outtakes with an alternate ending that would've worked just as well.
