Sundance 2009 in a Nutshell: Spring Breakdown

I'll readily admit here that I saw Baby Mama under protest during the holidays, and that I loved every minute of it. The Tina Fey / Amy Poehler combination is just pure gold for some reason, and they were a hell of a lot funnier than their best moment on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update. Somehow I thought the same magic would carry over into this Rachel Dratch / Parker Posey / Amy Poehler comedy where middle-aged women decide to go on spring break in South Padre Island. Boy, was I wrong. While Poehler was the funniest thing in it (especially the 30 seconds with husband Will Arnett who cameos), most of Dratch's jokes fall completely flat and Posey seemed like she phoned it in. Thankfully it's going straight to video, which means you'll be able to dodge this one at your multiplex with no effort at all.
