This Week's Big-Screen Goody:
Fellow GoodyBlogger Josh and I took a field trip to see the new comedy, Baby Mama (rated PG-13). We consider ourselves the Tina Fey/Amy Poehler duo of the office. The only problem is we always argue over who gets to be Tina Fey (we <3 her brilliance). Now we're fighting to see which one of us has to be the baby mama–my money's on Josh. Needless to say, we were SO excited about this movie.
A little background for you in case you haven't seen the trailer. Tiny Fey plays a woman with a "T" shaped uterus, which apparently means she can't carry a baby to term. So, she hires a surrogate (Amy Poehler) to do it for her, and that's where the hilarity ensues. The first half of the film didn't disappoint. Josh and I were in stitches, especially during the childproofing and prenatal vitamins scenes (why do they make those pills so large, anyways?). Unfortunately, the second half of the movie was a bit of a letdown. I won't give anything away, but it takes some weird twists and turns that didn't work for us. In the end, we still love watching these ladies together in anything, so we gave the film a "B" as the final grade (A+ for the first part, C for the second). If you're big fans like us, you may still want to hire a babysitter and check it out in the theaters. If
not, just wait for the DVD.
BTW, the film has a fun site called Baby Mama Maker, where you can take a photo of yourself and a friend and create a composite of what your child will look like. Here is a picture of our.... Girl? Boy? Baby? Click here, and scroll down for real photos of Josh and I. Please tell me you don't see any resemblance. Please? Maybe we should hold off on this baby-mama plan.

Last week, I blogged about the new line of CDs from a series that turns hit songs into lullabies. Now Nickelodeon is getting in on the act. The popular kids' network just released Sleepytime Lullabies, which uses a full string ensemble to sooth your little Dora fan off to dreamland. The CD features instrumental versions of some songs made famous by the likes of The Beatles, The Mamas & the Papas, and James Taylor. Bonus: It also includes “One Magic Kiss,” an exclusive track recorded by Brandi Carlile.
While we're in Mother's Day celebration mode, we have to tell you about a great show that's airing this Sunday called
