Let me just say that Baby Mama is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time! It was hilarious and Amy Poehler was soooo good in it. I love her especially because she is married to GOB from Arrested Development (Will Arnett) in real life and they are expecting a baby in real life. They are a really cute couple to me. But this movie was a feel good, laugh out loud to the point you think about it 10 minutes later and laugh again. I am Tina Fey compatible. I thought for a little while that Juan and I were just not funny. We watched movie after movie with Adam Sandler or Will Farrell. No no no, not the comedy for us. But Tina Fey, she makes us laugh. We also love love love 30 Rock-Tina Fey's sitcom. I highly recommend this movie.
Next movie up is Lars and the Real Girl. Now some of you may have seen the previews for this movie (or maybe not, it was limited release) and thought it was perverted. Well it is not perverted. It is about a guy in his twenties who is anti-social and practically a hermit. He is played by Ryan Gosling and is extremely shy. He ends up ordering a life sized doll and pretends that she is his girlfriend and the whole town ends up playing along. It's really sweet and the theme I got out of it is how desperate we are for companionship in life. We can be as independent as we want, but we ultimately need someone, a mom, a friend, a sister, a spouse to talk about our life with and to spend time with. I love Ryan Gosling, so that is why I had to see this movie, but it turned out really nice.
Fiddler on the Roof. I have been wanting to see this for a while because it is a classic and I know all the music. I loved the first hour. Tevye is an amazi
ng actor, played by one namer Topol, and very entertaining with his dance moves and such. The story is reminiscent of Pride and Prejudice with 5 daughters who need to be married off and a mom who talks too much and a dad who truly loves his daughters and wants what is best for them, even if it means abandoning tradition. The last two hours just got really really long. Ha ha, but overall I'm glad I saw it.

I want to see baby mama too! And I never watch the last hours of fiddler on the roof. haha. I only watch the happy parts at the beginning.
we went and saw baby mama too and there were some pretty funny parts. i saw an ultrasound photo the other day and wanted to say "it looked like a squirrel" but it would have been a wasted joke. i am glad you saw/liked lars and the real girl. i have been bugging scott to rent that with me but it hasn't happened yet.
I DIED when I saw Baby Mama last night. Pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too dirty. But flippin' hilarious!
