Not amazing (like something with writers and a cast like this should be) but not awful. And hey, it did feature John Hodman and Steve Martin. They actually asked if I wanted to see another horror movie and I just said 'eh, whatever, I don't like horror movies that much.' I now realize I might have opted out of seeing Cloverfield.

In what seems like not much of a stretch from her 30 Rock persona, Fey plays Kate, a 37 year-old single executive who’s looking to have her first child. After learning that she’s unable to have one naturally, she pegs lower-class South Philly girl Angie (Poehler) as her surrogate. Baby comedy turns buddy comedy when Angie loses her place and Kate finds her at her doorstep.

A lot of her stuff pre-Weekend Update was the equivalent of trying to discuss a new band with a Brooklyn hipster who only knows his music history inside one borough. I know she has a theater background with the Upright Citizens Brigade, but unlike the Groundlings et al of SNL's past, Pohler's idea of funny is far too staged and needy of praise from the The New Yorker or something. I just had to say this. Hah. At least Fey has opened up to lots of different comedians (not talking about just Tracey btw) and comic situations on 30 Rock. It's a shame to see two females headlining a semi-raunchy comedy (all too rare, enter Diablo Cody) and picking such lame subject matter. Hopefully Fey wises up and uses her newly rock solid cred for more creative flicks. There’s something so cliquish about Pohler’s humor that is a big turnoff.

Amy Poehler is the only white comic around that still gets her rocks off by doing cliche, unfunny impressions of "urban ghetto white people." Just like her schtick in Blades of Glory with her husband (the two of them together in private would make me vomit). This film reeks of NYC snobbery - the same kind that has plagued a lot of SNL for a good decade now. The title of the film alone is played out and stupid (it's not even the right use of slang). I'm a big fan of 30 Rock and Tina Fey has grown on me. Mean Girls was fine for what it was. I at least hope Tracey Morgan (Jordan) shows up for a cameo. Otherwise, we're going to be stuck with "she likes classical, ghetto girl likes loud rap" jokes for an entire movie. Flops away. This movie looks so dreadful for a ton of reasons.
