near the closing stage of baby mama and one of the central character go on to describe the basic outline of everything that come before and summarise that it be all just a mess while i really couldn not say it any good than that . and while the feature do have it odd ray of hope every now and again and the vast majority of what be present be too neutered to be consider relevant and too unremarkable to be worth anyone time . a lacklustre cast and mundane script and vague and caricature character ensure that baby mama certainly isn not tax on the ol noggin and but it never make up for this through it propose sense of humour . consist mainly of very routine and cliché joke base around an odd couple ( rich and poor ) try to live with each other a they prepare to bring a baby into the world and the film be far too esoteric to deliver laugh outside it very thin demographic . a a story on find love and it not that bad and but play this plot line a a side story of sort to work alongside the comedy orientate odd couple tangent and characterisation be notably weak and result in a lukewarm romance that never bubble . a character themselves and both central figure be mildly amuse when put together in small space and but when leave alone quickly unravel and bare their emptiness while so while we may eventually come to find the character interaction with each other amusing at time and the comedy never branch beyond distant chuckle while we do not feel for the character and do not find them inherently interest and but rather their dynamic . unfortunately however and although this dynamic work best and or at least good than the individual persona and a mention above and it rarely stem outside of the typical confines of the odd couple formula . kate ( tina fey ) be a successful business woman who have hire work class and dumb blonde angie ( amy poehler ) to be her unlikely surrogate and and after angie decides to leave hopeless husband carl ( dax shepard ) and both eventually have to learn to live together despite their obvious difference . yes and it the typical odd couple premise and and one that we have already see in this year what happen in vega and yet what baby mama lack that the aforementioned movie have be both chemistry between performer and semi layer character . kate and angie both fail to ever show much of a personality outside of their two dimensional outline and a such both performer be neglect to play out role that demand chemistry to produce out of thin air . in fact and the movie only real engage performance and character come from the underused talent of romany malco who get lumber with play a door man . of the few time that i laugh during baby mama and most of those moment be because of this man and and the remainder usually fell to shepard . it a rare thing of course to find a movie which embody it script theme in the way which it world be shot and present to u through the camera and and yet director michael mccullers go from page to screen effectively enough . yet and for a film about baby and multi million dollar business and cultural stereotyping and this isn not necessarily a good thing . baby mama be grade a and hammy and plastic tinsel town with capital bore top with sugar . so not only do i feel emotionally distant to the character because of their two dimensional nature and but i simply do not care for the world they inhabit . the dialogue and along with set and costume and and the script general theme be paint in pastel blue and pink so much that all shade of humanity be lose in the director incessant need to make his movie feel like a neutered fantasy while these aren not character and that isn not our world in any way so why should i care . at the end of the day however and a romantic comedy ultimate gauge of success or failure come down purely to it chemistry between it love interest and and the frequency of it laugh while baby mama have little go on in any of these department . of course to say that the film be without any value at all would be unfair . i be sure female audience in a similar boat a lead character kate may get a slight kick out of the proceeding and but anyone else will probably just feel numb and probably bore . in this respect baby mama avoids be unbearable and but never convinces in be anything remarkable or worthy of a look to anyone outside of it immediate audience while a comedic dud and a romantic mismatch and baby mama be too light head to be interesting and too shallow to be entertain . a review by jamie robert ward ( http represent or or www . invocus . net ) .
