The mother of all comedies

Admittedly, it's only the end of April, but "Baby Mama" was the funniest movie I've seen all year.


I've always like Tina Fey (she's smart, she's witty, she's pretty) and Amy Poehler has cracked me up since started on "Saturday Night Live."

Since 2000 or so, the two of them (with Jimmy Fallon thrown in there for a couple years, followed by Seth Myers) were the reason I turn off "SNL" after Weekend Update, 'cause after that segment, the show lags.

So, to see both Tina and Amy finally share the big screen for the entire movie (as opposed to "Mean Girls," in which they were never in a single scene together) was a real treat.

They play off each other so well, and Amy played the white-trash part to a tee. She plays irreverent so well, and Tina (ironically) plays the uptight prude equally as well.

Three words for ya: Go see it!
