Baby Mama: Movie Review and Contest

August 20, 2008 by GreatDad Writers Leave a Comment

Have a great time with this hilarious story about the outrageous consequences of putting your eggs in someone else’s basket. The movie is brought to you by Universal Home Studios Entertainment, in both DVD and Blu-ray format from 9th September, 2008.

Baby Mama is the comedic hit that tells the story of two women, one apartment and the nine hysterical months that will change their lives forever. Successful and single businesswoman Kate Holbrook (Tina Fey) 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 (Amy Poehler) to become her unlikely surrogate. After learning from the steely head (Sigourney Weaver) 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 comic 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.

DVD Bonus Features: Includes deleted scenes, an alternate ending, behind the scenes footage and an interview with the two main characters about their experience of working with Saturday Night Live alumnus Michael McCullers, the writer and director of the movie.

Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad.
