On the outside, I try to project an image of having it all together. But underneath that, I'm kind of a disaster. Hence... the name of the site: GlossyVeneer. Plot:
A successful, single businesswoman who dreams of having a baby discovers she is infertile and hires a working class woman to be her unlikely surrogate.
From the IMDB Profile
Notable:
The cast features several strong performers, among which include: Sigourney Weaver, Steve Martin, Greg Kinnear. This struck me because the marketing concealed the fact that these big name people were in the film.

It costs more to have someone born than to have someone killed!
Rating: PG-13 for crude and sexual humor, language and a drug reference

This movie has the formulaic premise of two people with nothing in common being thrown together for some random reason and hijinx ensue! And even though this is a common and predictable movie formula, it keeps being repeated because it’s good for some simple laughs.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler play off one another pretty well, of course anyone who saw them together on SNL’s Weekend Update knows that. There are some pretty witty lines throughout the film and I love the point at which surrogacy is compared to being similar to the outsourcing trends in employment.
There are a few points where it feels like it is dragging and a few jokes that felt like they were just trying too hard to be really funny. But overall it was a fun film.
My rating: stars
