Hey this is Aubrey. I went to the movies with Evita & Sister yesterday to see Baby Mama. Mean Girls was great, but it was Tina Fey's baby. Baby Mama was OK. We went to the $3 show so it was totally worth it. We were discussing our favorite parts of the movies in the car, but I couldn't think of mine until later.
My favorite part of Baby Mama was when Tina Fey was on a date and her date says "Would you like to go to my ah-" "Yes" Tina interrupts. And he explains so there is no confusion he meant his apartment. Joking, but serious and confident, "I'm 37. I know what that means."
I just like that part because it promotes sexual confidence. There is a sense that she knows who she is and she knows what she wants and there is nothing wrong with that. It was funny too.
Oh but on the same fringe my least favorite part of the movie was when Tina Fey found out she was pregnant. They made it clear in the movie that her partner didn't know she was (supposedly) infertile. And so of course she was excited because she wanted a baby, but if the confident sexual encounter was actually meant to promote the ideas I took from it, what is this suppose to suggest? Unprotected sex is OK? She should have found out she had the Clap not a baby. That shits common get tested.
Anyway I know I've been a bad blogger. I'll try to improve-a3w

yeah that was weird, like a loose end plotwise?
but that scene was def one of my faves too.
and i saw this today on jezebel and it kind of reminded me of the whole "even though you're good you're still not good enough" thing:
"Good news for lady-helmed comedies! Baby Mama raked in over $18 million this weekend, according to Box Office Mojo, beating out Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay by about $4 million. I asked a friend who works in the film industry, and he says that while $18 mil is a definite hit, it remains to be seen whether Baby Mama's success will lead the way for more female-centric comedic films. "Sisters are doing it for themselves but its no Superbad,"
wtf?
