Baby Mama misses its chance

This sloppily made comedy from first time director Michael McCullers has lines such as "I'm sorry i farted into your purse" to illustrate its story of thirtysomething executive Kate (Tina Fey) who can't have a baby and gets another, younger married woman (Amy Poehler) to have one for her.
Sigourney Weaver is there as head of an expensive surrogacy centre, and steve Martin provides a cameo of the mad guru of her flourishing corporation. But neither of them get very good lines, and nor do wiseguy doorman Romany Malco or Greg Kinnear's juice-bar owner, who fancies Kate. With this story and this cast the movie ought to have been fun.
