Babes

To all the naysayers who took time to try to criticize this movie, I say "Guess what? There are really people like this in the world." Not everyone is the cookie cutter typical rom-com character, action hero or sci-fi alien that Hollywood churns out by the truckload. Do I relate to them? No, not particularly, but do I know some people like these characters in real life? Yes, we all do. Are these characters a bit over the top? Yes, but guess what, it's a comedy and like any good movie or book they are going to be caricature's of real people. And it refreshing to watch a movie that showcases an off beat type of person once in a while. So, sit back, enjoy the slightly absurd take on the situation, laugh at their bizarre approach to life and get a glimpse into the way some people choose to live their lives.

All that said, the movie succeeds mostly due to the excellent direction, clean editing, good script and solid acting.

The blend of off beat humor and the real life personal drama that everyone experience in really is very well balanced. I look forward to more movies like this and less of the CGI blockbusters and silly horror movies that have become cliche.

For women who like a good BFF movie---it's cute and has some funny moments. Ilana Glazer is a great actress and it's unfortunate in this world that people like Julia Roberts, with zero range, gets fame and fortune . The movie was a like an episode of HBO's Girls if you like that kind of thing. I do. Sometimes you are sick of violence, vampires, gratuitous sex and you want a fun, innocent movie with some charm. Some criticism is necessary if one only gives a movie a six. How does Eden have such a large/great apartment if she is just a yoga instructor ? Doesn't make sense . And the exit of Claude makes no sense and should have been a different excuse. Many women know the ups and downs of lifelong friendships and sometimes it has a happy ending and many times it doesn't last and you only have your good memories of the person who got you through middle school.

I Wasn't sure I was going to like this movie at all when it started, it did have a rough start, amd there were some cringy scenes, but when the story got moving I was engaged and there were some genuinely funny moments. It was interesting to see a realistic view of what pregnancy and motherhood can be like, through the perspective of the two main characters. There where some great side characters, the doctor being especially good. Not my favorite movie of the year by any means, but I liked it a lot more than I would have thought, and although I will likely never watch it again I'm glad I saw it. The music was pretty good as well.

Not really a feel-good movie, hits really hard in the reality. It had several laugh out loud moments and was overall enjoyable but this is not a movie I'll be rewatching when I need a pick-me-up movie.

I thought Ilana Glazer and Michelle Buteau were an awesome duo. They had great chemistry for a buddy-comedy but I wish there had been more of the comedy aspect to it. A lot of this movie was very heavy which was not what I was expecting based on the trailer and summary.

I will say the heart-felt moments were very deep and moving, and if you're looking for a movie that conveys the harsh reality of parenthood while giving you laughs here and there then this movie will meet those requirements.

I have literally never written a review on here, but I'm so shocked by the negative reviews that I feel compelled to do so.

I saw this movie tonight as a part of Cinemark's "Secret Movie" series and I was so pleasantly surprised. This movie was NOT on my radar at all (and I go to the theater every weekend), so imagine my surprise when this movie came on and I absolutely loved it!!

I honestly don't think I would've ever gone to this movie if it weren't for this "secret movie" thing, but it was so funny I would honestly go see it again. I laughed the entire time.

I just saw on a poster for it a critic say something like "Bridemaids for having a baby" and I couldn't agree more. This was a movie about women and women issues, and I'm not a woman, but the humor is so good that none of that mattered.

Maybe it's because I live Broad City, but this movie hit that same exact sense of humor and it was amazing.

It was also surprisingly heartfelt and sweet.

Ignore whatever these other reviews are saying. They're clearly made by boomers who can't handle women being hilariously crude and raunchy. It's rare to find actual comedies these days, and this one does not disappoint. GO SEE IT.
