Baby Mama

This last weekend I was gifted with the opportunity to watch the movie “Baby Mama” and I must say that I would have been more than willing to pay for the movie since my date paid for the dinner but to pay for the movie means that I would have to utter the name to the cashier which in this case I didn’t want to do. So I more than willingly allowed him to pay for it. (hehe).

Altho the movie sounds rather… ghetto white trash… it was actually quite funny. It is about a single older woman who is successful in every aspect of her life except for the fact that she is not married and has never had a baby (and we count this as a non-success?). She decides that she doesn’t want to wait for a man any longer and attempts to have a baby on her in via invitro fertilization but discovers that this is not possible for her. Adoption is not an option for single women in America (5+ year waiting list) so she turns to her only other alternative: a surrogate. The story is then about the relationship and struggles between the surrogate mother and herself. There are some twists and turns and a “surprise” ending which is so text book fairy tale it almost ruined it for me but over all it was quite funny. I would give it 3/5 stars only because there were a lot of cliché moments and I really don’t like cliché…
