In
a comedy that brings together some of today's sharpest
talent, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler team with writer/director
Michael McCullers and producers Lorne Michaels and John
Goldwyn to tell the story of two women, one apartment
and the nine months that will change their lives: "Baby
Mama."
Successful
and single businesswoman Kate Holbrook (Tina Fey) 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 (Amy Poehler) to become her unlikely
surrogate. Simple enough...
After
learning from the steely head (Sigourney Weaver) 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 comic 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. |
