Movie Reviews of Baby Mama
Movie Review: Such a dissapointing, sexist film
Summary: 1 Stars
Not sure why I would think that a film called Baby Mama would be thoughtfully entertaining. I don't know. I guess was under the impression that Tina Fey is smart and witty (maybe she really can only make this work in television time) and BC graduate Amy Poehler can add a savvy spin to material. The film has a few chuckles but quickly steers itself straight into the safe funny zone. The stereotypically safe funny zone. You know women single and over 35 must be super successful "career women" and have given up on any sort of social life. All women want children. The whole infertility thing is just hysterical and so is pregnancy and giving birth, while we think of it. The jokes are so tired. And you've seen them before. I'm not a major fan of 30 Rock but I've enjoyed some of the episodes and thought Tina Fey might be a little different. She does make the successful single woman stylish at times on that show. Though even there you see the jokes from Alec Baldwin about her being a lesbian because she's wearing pants or because she's over 30 and single. Oh, it's OVER honey.
I like to think that I've been picky. I have a brain. I have a heart. I use both in making my decisions. Sure, sometimes I want a guy to be there for me all the time but why do I feel like a failure at times because there isn't one? I have never had any male friends say that they don't expect to meet anyone or that they've "given up on dating." No, it's only my girlfriends who have careers. The ones who have families have already had the boyfriend/husband. I've been doing what I want to do for the past decade and not had to decide what someone else thinks. Not everyone needs to be part of a couple or to have a family to be considered successful. Oh, I'm joking. Of course you have to check all those things off your list or you're a real loser. Who doesn't know that? I spend enough time in therapy. And I'm being so sarcastic, in case you didn't figure it out. Yet sadly our American society does think that these are the things a woman must do. She has to have the career, marriage and family or there's just something off, something wrong, something, oh horrors, different about her.
