Trivia
Angie has a drawer full of TASTYKAKE cupkakes. TASTYKAKE is the Philadelphia based brand that rivals Hostess and since the movie is set in Philadelphia her snack choice is locally appropriate.

Goofs
Angie would never be able to be a surrogate without having a child of her own first. All reputable surrogacy agencies in the US require their surrogates to have had at least one full-term, live birth before becoming a surrogate.

Quotes
Kate Holbrook: Did you just stick your gum under my coffee table?
Angie Ostrowiski: [nervous] I don't know.
Kate Holbrook: What do you mean, you don't know? You think you're at an Arby's right now?
Angie Ostrowiski: You know what? I wish I was at an Arby's 'cause there's better food and cooler people there!
Kate Holbrook: [looks under the coffee table] Did you stick *all* this gum under here?
Angie Ostrowiski: I don't know! Maybe you stuck some of it under there.
Kate Holbrook: Yeah, actually, you might be right. 'Cause sometimes, when I work a really long day, I like to come home and chew a huge wad of Bubblicious gum and stick it under my reclaimed barnwood coffee table!
Angie Ostrowiski: Bitch, I don't know your life!

Great Fun

Due to my love of Tina Fey I went out of my way to see this film at the cinema; on first release it was only shown at 11-30 in the morning and I dragged my mum to watch in an empty theatre. All I can say is that it was worth the effort.

The two leads bounce off of one another with brilliant comic timing, and both manage to make their flawed characters utterly likable. Yes, the plot is predictable, and no, there is no joke that made me fall out of my seat. However, it did deliver on many levels. The comedy was sharp and although the ending was a little contrived it did manage to put a goofy smile on the face of a cynical teenager, IE moi. 'Baby Mama' is perfect chick fare, and I am disappointed in the cinemas who have cleared all their screens in preparation for the release of 'The Dark Knight'.

Poehler and Fey sparkled and were supported by an excellent cast; Steve Martin was odd, providing some light comedy, but it was Sigourney Weaver and Greg Kinnear (back on form and looking less haggard) whom i felt really carried the film in the absence of the two leads.

Baby Mama was refreshing and a great indication that we should see more of these two girls on the big screen.
