BABY MAMA (2008)
SYNOPSIS
In a comedy that brings together some of today's
sharpest talent, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler team with
writer/director Michael McCullers and producers
Lorne Michaels and John Goldwyn to tell the story of
two women, one apartment and the nine months
that will change their lives: Baby Mama. 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. Simple
enough... 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. --© Universal
