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.

| Entertainment SpectrumJolene MendezSNL brings some must needed comedy relief to the big screen and it finally pays off. |
| WaffleMovies.comWillie WaffleFey and Poehler deliver more laughs than the last two Will Ferrell movies combined |
| Sydney Morning HeraldSandra HallThe film is not exactly original but it is a lot of fun, thanks to the skill with which Fey and Poehler play to one another's strengths. |
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettPoehler's the engine that propels this light comedy to surprising levels that far exceed the predictability suggested by the preview trailer. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongIt's not that Baby Mama is an outright bad movie. It's just so thoroughly typical, a one-note, odd-couple, laff-lite film featuring two Saturday Night Live veterans that reminds you of so many other dashed-together SNL vet films. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordWe wanted Cheerios and got strained peas. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyDrawing on Baby Boom and Odd Couple, this high-concept comedy lags behind the zeitgeist and may be more significant as corrective counterpoint to the male-driven fare of Apathow's factory in centering on charming femmes in the lead and supporting roles |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerPoehler is the life of the party and steals just about every scene, although there's not much to steal. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisIn this era of Apatow and Ferrell and Rogen and Wilson, of men monopolizing movie comedy, Baby Mama feels absurdly momentous, and even political. Fey and Poehler aren't just taking back control of their bodies. They're taking back control of their profession. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzThe humor outweighs the holes in the story, Fey and Poehler look to be a comedy team built to last -- let's hope so -- and those who find Judd Apatow's comedies lacking in decent female roles have found their film. |
