Review – Baby Mama

This had a good 22.5 minutes’ worth of humor, which might have made it a solid episode of 30 Rock. Unfortunately this is more than three times longer than a slice of sitcom, and there isn’t enough here to make it stretch. Tina Fey stars as an executive who can’t get pregnant, so she hires a lower-class woman (fellow SNL alum Amy Pohler) to be a surrogate. High jinks ensue. Despite occasional funny gags, overall this is an all-too-conventional take on American women’s obsessions with reproduction. Mildly amusing
