‘Saturday Night Live.’ It has found a home within our world of pop culture for the better part of three decades. It has spawned such talent as Mike Myers, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Chevy Chase. But most importantly, it has stayed fresh, fun and downright hilarious – which begs the question: Just where do they come up with this kind of stuff?

Spring Breakdown

College is not a pleasant memory for Judi, Gayle and Becky. Tabbed as 'losers,' the three friends have grown up to live out that title, making very little of their lives and continuing to be pushed around by all who surround them. But when a series of unexpected actions (or maybe just not expected by the three in question), the girls find themselves celebrating spring break in South Padre, Texas, the heart of the whole affair. The mission is to help Becky control her political boss's lackluster daughter, a task that would confirm her spot as the newly sworn-in United States Vice-President.

Hamlet 2

score: 
B+
Director: 
Andrew Fleming
Cast: 
Steve Coogan, Catherine Keener, David Arquette, Amy Poehler, Elizabeth Shue
Running Time: 
92
Rated: 
R
While the film shares part of its name with the popular Shakespearean play 'Hamlet', it takes nothing from the brilliant work of literature. Instead, Hamlet 2 creates its own style by serving up the most unique and politically incorrect dialogue ever spoken on screen. From the film's marketing anthem, 'Rock Me Sexy Jesus,' to the inappropriate racial remarks, everything is fair game in this all out banter-fest.

Baby Mama

score: 
B
Director: 
Michael McCullers
Cast: 
Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Greg Kinnear, Dax Shepard, Sigourney Weaver
Running Time: 
99
Rated: 
PG-13
Derived from the brilliant acting of Tina Fey, Baby Mama serves up some great moments as it hits you with both laughs and emotion, making it one of the few films that has delivered a one two punch knockout worth seeing.
