Film Trailer for Tina Fey’s Baby Mama.

Posted by Erik Henriksen on Wed, Jan 16 at 3:07 PM

I realize I might not exactly be in its target demographic, but goddamn does Baby Mama looks terrible. I’ve had a crush on Tina Fey ever since she started doing Weekend Update on SNL, and I think we can all acknowledge that her script for Mean Girls is great, and so’s 30 Rock, but this just looks like one of those bland, happy little movies where the entire third act is a variation on the theme of “…and then we all had a good laugh and learned something about ourselves.”

I really try to avoid judging movies on their trailers, because 90 percent of the time previews are totally unreliable and inaccurate. But after watching this one, I’m fairly certain that the only time I’d willingly watch Baby Mama is if I was stuck on an airplane. And I didn’t have a book. And if my iPod’s batteries were dead. Which, perhaps not coincidentally, is how I saw Big Momma’s House 2.

Thanks, Cinematical.

Color me the optimist Erik but I think it will be decent.

I have so much faith in Tina Fey to not only be really hot all the time, but to write a good script. Did she write it?

Regardless, Dax Shepard, Amy Poehler, and Tina Fey. Give it a chance!

I was going to say, I sat through what seemed like half an hour of previews at Sweeney Todd and every single one of them looked like shit and more shit. This looks half decent compared to all of them.

"Can't I just spray some PAM down there?"

C'mon, that's a pretty good line, no?
