I like Tina Fey. I like Tina Fey a lot. 30 Rock is my favorite show, I loved the writing in Mean Girls and her role in it. And even though she isn't listed as a writer in Baby Mama, I assumed she had some input and I was sure that this would be a smart, funny, movie. Well I was wrong. It was watchable and she showed that she has the potential of being a lead in an romantic comedy, but the writing was weak and Amy Poehler didn't add much to the movie. I have no problem with formulaic comedies. But I would at least like them to be funny. If this movie stared anyone besides Tina Fey I would have probably walked out. But I hope it does well, so maybe we can see Ms. Fey in more movies. Hopefully next time she decides to write it.
