Trailer Blazer: 'Baby Mama'

There’s one moment in this trailer that got me laughing so hard at my desk that people actually poked their heads in to make sure I hadn’t snapped and was about to go on a crazed stapler rampage. I think you’ll know it when you see it.

That look on Amy Poehler’s face, just sitting there… man-oh-Manischewitz. Judging by this trailer, Baby Mama looks like a brave new frontier for chick flicks. It’s not a romantic comedy. It’s not a "three girls get together and bond over shared bad experiences with dudes" movie. It’s not defined by the female reaction to the male presence, or lack of presence. Which is so friggin’ refreshing I can’t tell you.

Not that I thought the whole trailer was a slam dunk — at this point, there’s no such thing as an au courant DMX joke — but it’s promising. And it’s Tina Fey, who’s totally gonna come live with me if my wife and Tina’s husband say it’s cool.

If you do a little Evel Kneivel over the jump (get it?), there’s some more Fey-related baby shenanigans for you.

As promised:

    sorry, which part is that?

  • monica

    i was dying in my office too, especially from the DMX grunt and the peeing in the sink moments. LMAO! Can’t wait.

  • KG

    tina fey and amy poehler together once again?? i’m so gonna watch this!

  • dala

    I LOVE TINA FEY AND AMY POEHLER!!!
    THEYRE HILARIOUS! I WILLLLL GOO SEE THIS THE FIRST DAY IT COMES OUUUUT

  • Alan

    Tina Fey is a God. Period. She is brilliant!!

  • Lesley

    The entire time I’m thinking: what if I don’t see it? has it already passed? which one is it? And then I saw it. Everyone was asleep in my house and I actually laughed so hard I thought they were all going to wake up. God, I love, love, love Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

  • Elizabeth

    Yeah! Can’t wait.

  • Sara

    I’m with you Marc – I’m so thrilled at the prospect of a female-centered comedy that’s about, well, women and the things they go through. Also…Amy and Tina are frigging brilliant.

  • Heather

    Okay, so maybe I’m weird, but I laughed like crazy at the DMX joke and found the sink thing gross. *g* Overall it looked really cute.

  • furry_tom

    Looks awesome. And I’ll bet you that DMX joke is 50 times funnier than anything you’ll hear in 27 Dresses.

  • Christa

    Okay, I totally laughed at the DMX line because when I was pregnant with my son (7 years ago) I listened to DMX all of the time and it totally looks like my child is “raising the roof” in his ultrasound photo. Sad, but true.

  • KingLouieXVII

    I love me some Tina Fey! She’s so sexy. It’s those glasses! Can’t wait to see her on the big screen again. MEAN GIRLS was pretty funny, and this should be even better. More Tina and less Lindsay Lohan.

  • IndianaJenn

    I actually laughed out loud at the poop or chocolate part. Love Maura Tierney, Tina & Amy!!!

  • Anjeliki

    I also LOL at the Maura Tierney “chocolate or poop” part. I thought the toilet/sink bit was funny, but predictable. Nonetheless, I’ll be dragging the husband to see this movie.

  • Frances

    I am so glad I’m not alone in laughing out loud at the DMX joke! I think Romany Malco (Jay from 40 Year Old Virgin)is hysterical. The fact that Tina Fay and Amy Poehler are in the movie might motivate me to go see this. It looks pretty funny.

  • Kathleen

    Yaaay Maura Tierney! Love her. I usually wait for second run theaters for movies that aren’t FX-centric, ’cause I’m poor, but I’ll gladly pay ten bucks to see this.

  • Lauren

    When I first saw the trailer I was laughing so hard that I was crying! I can’t wait to go see this. Amy Poehler is one of the funniest people

  • Leslie

    I think it looks hilarious too. I loved the poop/chocolate bit, and LOL-ed with the end bit – “shouldn’t we clean that up?” Looks hilarious. And I agree with poster below; Mean Girls was cute but more Tina Fey would’ve made it better.

  • Leslie

    In a related thought, what is it with all the pregnancy themes all of a sudden? Knocked Up, Waitress, Juno, Wilhemina of Ugly Betty, Sun/Kate/Claire on Lost, the recently blogged about Knocked Up meets Sicko movie. What’s the deal?

  • Martha

    This looks awesome. I’m psyched to see it. While Amy’s face while in the sink was priceless, I laughed out loud at the “chocolate or poop” moment. Because really moms, who hasn’t done something disgustingly similar? The Pam comment in the birthing class was also quite amusing.

  • Emily

    one word: AWESOME. I can’t wait for this one!

  • Dee

    Wow, this movie looks terrible.

  • Zod

    Chocolate or poop: every Mom has been there.
