Babes

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.

The first few jokes were predictable, like the wet seat gag, which was sooo obvious. It felt like it dragged on too long. However, after that the humor was better, great even. It's a movie that rewards you the longer you watch.

Despite the rough start, the funny scenes made the movie for me. I especially liked the twins, the omen bedroom scene, and the big needle scene-my favorite part. There's some profanity and raunchy comedy, which might bother some, but I actually enjoyed it. I say that 'cause the movie deals with themes of pregnancy, sisterhood, and family-the beautiful and difficult aspects, and their impact on mental health. I think some people might watch it for those themes and not like the humor, but I felt the two elements worked well together, making it appealing to different audiences. It reminded me of "Scrambled" from earlier this year, which more people should have seen.

The movie is quite messy and chaotic, which led to some unexpected good scenes like the random plumbing issues. So I liked that chaos. It was strange there wasn't a nurse to help her to the 4th floor, though. I liked seeing Stephan James from "Beacon 23" and the doctor provided great comedic relief.

The chemistry didn't pull you in like the greatest girl-mance or romance ever, but the conversations felt real. The characters felt like actual friends. It didn't have the strongest start, but the movie gets better as it goes, and I'd recommend it. If you like this, you should check out "Scrambled" too.

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.

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.
