Baby Momma – A Movie Review
Though Baby Momma was terribly clichéd and predictable, it’s futile to resist the brilliant chemistry of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. But while the movie had some genuinely funny moments, Tina and Amy’s characters were undeniably stereotypical and rather bland for two such gifted comedians.

There Will Be Blood – A Movie Review
