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.
The film's strength lies in its unflinching honesty. It doesn't shy away from the gross bodily fluids, sleep deprivation, and emotional turmoil that come with pregnancy and early parenthood.
However, where Babes stumbles a bit is in Glazer's signature delivery. While her brand of in-your-face humor perfectly captured the wild energy of Broad City, it can feel a tad repetitive here. Jokes that landed big on television lose some punch on the big screen, and the constant barrage of profanity and awkward bodily functions can become tiresome after a while.
Buteau serves as a fantastic counterpoint. Her portrayal of the overwhelmed yet fiercely loving Dawn provides a much-needed grounding force. The chemistry between the two leads is undeniable, but the film tends to have a few plot holes and shift in time that forces you put together some of the missing pieces.
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.

- QuizAccording to Ilana Glazer, she and costar Michelle Buteau have been friends in real life too "for 20 years." In complementing the pair's natural chemistry that's so apparent in the movie, Jon Stewart noted, "You guys are like the... just dirty dirty Laverne & Shirley."

Eden: How are we not talking about this all the time? We grow bodies inside of our bodies. What the fuck? This person just came out of my vagina. This is all the hot news anchors should be covering 24/7. People coming out of pussies. Every day for thousands and thousands of years. What the fuck?
