Baby Mama
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0871426/
Plot: Successful and single businesswoman Kate Holbrook 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 to become her unlikely surrogate. Simple enough … After learning from the steely head 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 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.
Review:
Managing to score some more free double passes from MIX102.3, getting a bit late into the cinema to see every seat nearly filled like on their promotional ads. You’d think having a shorter girlfriend she wouldn’t see any seats but managed to see some all the way up the back that were free, next to some bloke covered in tattoos and sporting a mullet.
In short, it’s about a successful business woman who wants to have a baby and is at that stage in life where time has all but run out. It follows her looking at adoption and finally to a surrogate mother. Supported well by Romany Malco (also in The Love Guru) as the doorman Oscar, of the apartment block ads a little spice to the film even though he’s playing that “token black guy” role in the film with some one liners and funny black referenced comedy. In addition with Steve Martin playing a long haired businessman/hippie opening his chain of organic supermarkets and Sigourney Weaver as the successful woman running an agency for people looking for surrogate mothers, but being potrayed as “old” in the movies but fertile and popping out about 3 kids during the movie.
It kept me interested in the movie, the girlfriend said it was “predictable” but then I’m a bloke. The only thing predictable about the movie was the ending credits. It’ll keep your missus interested and you’ll have enough laughs to stop you from falling asleep.
