If you don't like sketch comedy then I dont recommend it, because they're random as hell.. but try to watch some of the eps online. TOO funny.

]]> <![CDATA[<i>Baby Mama</i> Will Tell Us What To Think About Women]]> I love Tina Fey, as we all know. Huge, huge love. But I don't love Amy Poehler. She doesn't make me laugh. Ever. At all. Kristin Wiig is far more talented than Poehler, and yet Poehler gets all the acclaim. If there should be any backlash, it should be against Poehler. PAH!

]]> <![CDATA[<i>Baby Mama</i> Will Tell Us What To Think About Women]]> @In Other News...: I met Tina after a taping of Conan not long ago. She's got some character and charisma, but she's always struck me as having the Hillary problem: her personal charms just don't carry well through media.

SNL stagnated *even more* under her watch; the bits were weak, the laughs were weaker. She's a good actress, don't get me wrong - I just don't think comedy should be her forte.

All that aside, this movie looks stillborn.

nonpareil

]]> <![CDATA[<i>Baby Mama</i> Will Tell Us What To Think About Women]]> Meh... Overrated. Fey always struck me as a teacher's pet who thinks she's funnier than she really is and is FINALLY getting her revenge on all the idiots who wronged her in high school... hmmm... no wonder she's so popular in these parts. Doth Gawker project too much?

]]> <![CDATA[<i>Baby Mama</i> Will Tell Us What To Think About Women]]> @NinaHagen: I like what I've seen of 30 Rock (not available here in Yurp yet)and other stuff of Tina's I've seen. But she plays it too safe and mainstream. Kind of afraid not to be a good girl? Really good comedy is subversive. Look at Elaine May. Not just the early stuff with Nichols. Her performance in a supporting role in Small Time Crooks gets better every time I see it.

SarahHeartburn

]]> <![CDATA[<i>Baby Mama</i> Will Tell Us What To Think About Women]]> Tina Fey is a funny writer and a terrible actress. And Amy Poehler is about as funny as Jimmy Fallon. Which is to say, she would make me want to stab a kitten in the face if that was a way of getting her to stop.

]]> <![CDATA[<i>Baby Mama</i> Will Tell Us What To Think About Women]]> "Baby Mama extends the joke, then softens it, then smothers it in its crib-an unpleasant picture perhaps ..."

Perhaps. Perhaps the image of a baby smothered in its crib is unpleasant. But then again, perhaps not. Remember, unpleasantness is in the eye of the beholder. You may find the image of a thrashing, suffocating infant to be somewhat disagreeable, if not downright unpleasant. But another viewer of the same image may beg to differ, and find the smothered-baby image to be a most agreeable scenario to behold — if not a veritable feast for the eyes. That's the beauty of art - everything is relative.

I mean once you factor in the cost of movie tickets, the price of gas (not that I have a car, but trying to make a somewhat convincing argument here)/a metrocard, the price of an ounce, and the cost of a tub of popcorn after using said ounce, I really can only afford one movie this month. Ok make that this year.

Sorry for the Jezebelness of the above, but no one is taking Will Ferrell, for example, out behind the woodshed for his dubious career choices, or holding him responsible for the future success or failure of all comedies starring tall pudgy guys.

Can't everyone just agree to give Ms. Fey a break already? She's kind of a stiff performer, but she isn't horrible, and Amy Poehler is actually a funny physical comedienne. I would probably happily watch this on a plane or collapsed on my sofa.

I skipped the snippets from the reviews (as I usually do before seeing a movie) because I like everyone involved. I gather it's not an unqualified success.
