Walking into the theatre to see Baby Mama I wasn’t expecting much, and that’s what I got.
The one plot twist was apparent half way into the move, so it failed as a drama. The story was cliched and the ending a cop out, so it failed as social commentary. But it wasn’t a drama, nor a social commentary, right? It was a comedy.
It failed in that respect as well. I’m a fan of both Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, but their comedy on Saturday Night Live was more cutting edge than anything in Baby Mama.
Leaving Theatre:
Me: I laughed at a few parts.
Kayleigh: Me too.
Me: What was the funniest part to you?
Kayleigh: …
That says it all.
