Baby Mama (12A)

Director: Michael McCullers

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. This stateside hit stars Saturday Night Live regulars Tina Fey and Amy Poehler in a comedy double act full of bite and spite.

Fey and Poehler have been getting a fair bit of press recently for their quirkyfemale credentials but this film does away with the gender debate and proves a funny and cute if notperfect comedic romp.

Wall-E (U)

Director: Andrew Stanton

Pixar blitz the opposition in this animated masterpiece. The story follows itty-bitty robot Wall-E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) who discovers a new purpose in life when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE.

With a host of superbly imagined characters and a lead character who utters no more than three words throughout, this is classic Pixar tomfoolery. Chuck in a whole bucket of cuddles, a refreshing dose of surreal humour, a touching environmental message and a race across space and you have pure, unadulterated cinematic pleasure.

Cert: PG – Director: Mark Osborne and John Stevenson

This latest effort from super studio Dreamworks is a CG-animated comedy about a lazy, irreverent slacker panda called Po, who must become a kung fu master in order to save his furry friends from the villainous snow leopard, Tai Lung. What it lacks in detail it makes up for in humorous sight gags, gleeful abandon and Jackie Chan.
