Baby Mama premiere featuring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler


The Saturday Night Live alums were at The Baby Mama premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival last night to support Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Among the familiar funny faces were Molly Shannon, Chris Kattan, and Rachel Dratch – who has found a job after mentioning her unemployment plight earlier this month. The film is about a career woman played by Fey who hires a goofy irresponsible woman, Amy Poehler’s character, to be her surrogate. There is some speculation that Poehler might be coincidentally pregnant since she’s wearing this flouncy dress, but I think it’s just the style of the dress. Poehler, 36, has been married to Arrested Development’s Will Arnett, 37, since August, 2003, and they have two dogs but no children yet. Her co-star Tina Fey, 37, has a daughter, Alice, who is two and a half.

Fey told People Magazine a funny story about how she gained weight quickly during her pregnancy by eating too many donuts:

“Somewhere during my pregnancy I gained something like nine pounds in two weeks and my doctor was like, ‘You know what it might be? Are you drinking a lot of juice?’ I was like, ‘Yeah. That must be it.’ ” said the 30 Rock Emmy winner, 37. “I was eating like a box a day of Entenmann’s donuts.”

Here’s the trailer. It looks amusing but not incredible, and is getting mixed reviews.

Also shown at the premiere are Will Arnett, Steve Martin, Romany Malco, Sigourney Weaver, Chevy Chase, Annabella Sciorra, Dax Shepard, Chris Kattan, Kristin Bell, Maggie Grace, Molly Shannon, Rachel Dratch, Robert DeNiro, Fred Durst looking old, and Padma Lakshmi.

    Amy does look like she’s gained some weight. I saw her live a couple months ago at the UCB theatre and she’s TINY TINY TINY. maybe she is expecting… i would love to see her and wills spawn they are both so awesome!

    😳 Love me some Tina Fey, hot funny and smart. I’m so there to watch this movie ! 8)

  3. Bob says:

    Is this supposed to be a comedy? Because if they wanted it to be a comedy they should have cast people in it who are actually funny, rather than just whiny and annoying.

  4. Kristin says:

    That movie looks soo stupid. I love Tina Fey, but no.

  5. whattheheck says:

    Amy is talented but I find her obnoxious characters grating, to say the least, so watching her in the trailers provided no incentive for me.

    are we having a halle berry moment.

  7. nylon says:

    Ugh, why does Amy always have that bitchy smile. Its so strained and annoying and now Tina is starting to wear it as well.

  8. CJ says:

    How is a smile ‘bitchy’?

  9. headache says:

    The movie does look stupid, like Will Ferrell humor for women.

    Why can’t women be likeable AND funny?

    Instead we get stuck with uptight and funny or ignorant and funny.

    Oh and a smile is bitchy when it looks forced and/or mocking instead of conveying genuine happiness.
