Halfway through the movie, I realized that Steve Carell was wonderful, but Tina Fey was just blah. I kept imagining other women in the part. She had some good scenes, but overall, I would say she was awful. No personality, no spark. She didn't make me laugh unless she was playing a character. She needs to stick to writing and not try to pursue a movie career. Or else, stick to imitating others.
shareI will agree to disagree. Her facial expressions and reactions are better than any other comedic actors'. I also think that Steve Carell had a part with better lines. I really think the movie would have completely burned out without either of the two actors though, it was their chemistry that kept the movie from disaster.
Gleek Represent!
i totally agree! i'm surprised people think that she's awful. she's very convincing. what the hell?!
shareI didn't think she was awful but I thought Carrell was a lot better. Then again, Steve Carrell can do no wrong in my book so...
shareNo. Tina provided the balance for Steve or it would have been just another Michael Scott-esque character like in Get Smart and Evan Almighty.
I was actually surprised by how good she was and how much she improved from Baby Mama.

I completely disagree! I thought she was amazing and he was only okay
i thought she had the better lines and was just better at emoting as well

I thought the plot was predictable, the script weak - but both Carrell and Fey were great. And as far as adlibbing goes, I thought she was the more amusing of the two.
I think it must be hard to be an attractive woman next to a weedy, large eyed man (this is not said in bitterness at all, he has the perfect appearance for comedy) and appear funny. But she manages it with aplomb!

I disagree with the OP. Thought Steve and Tina were both excellent. Didn't think one outshined the other. Though Tina has nicer eyes

Tina was just as good as steve. Sometimes even better.
