With a name like Baby Mama, it has to be good, right? Okay, yeah, not so much with the title or the movie. I love Tina Fey. And Amy Poehler. So I hope this trailer is just, like, the worst material they could find, and they used it because of some sort of reverse psychology advertising or something. Truthfully, the trailer doesn't start out that bad: Tina Fey is funny in her usual dry way, as she tells a guy on their first (and likely only) date all about her adventures in trying to have a baby, ending with the clincher, "I could be pregnant right now." That always brings the guys back for another date, doesn't it? But then she runs out of options and starts looking for a surrogate. They are usually very expensive, it turns out, so Tina turns to her good friend Amy Poehler, who, sadly, sort of ruins the movie. Okay, we obviously expect Tina to play it straight next to Amy's zaniness, but some of this goes beyond her usual zany into one of two camps: 1) Really, really stupid. 2) Utterly disturbing, and not in a funny way. I honestly don't know what to hate more: the stupid stuff (Tina should get used to Amy because she's going to have a kid soon anyway, and Amy's like a big kid; Amy's Tina's baby mama -- hence the movie's title; get it?; and a really ridiculous birthing class scene) or the disturbing stuff (Maura Tierney licking her kid's arm to determine "chocolate or poop?" and Tina's bewildered, "What if that had been poop?!"; and Amy peeing in the sink because she can't open a child-proofed toilet seat). What I do know is that my abiding affection for these two ladies isn't going to get me to shell out money for this nightmare -- and that they might have just dropped a little bit in my esteem.
