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.

There were endless opportunities for creative jokes and situations. Unfortunately nothing was funny, and every terrible line was delivered as though it was supposed to be a punchline. Awful script, poorly acted, and I left the theater after a certain point. This was complete cringe. And I had my hopes up that this would be a fun, raunchy comedy in the vein of Knocked Up. As a fan of Broad City, I had certain expectations in terms of comedic performance by Ilana Glazer. I also thought her writing contribution would ensure some laughs. What a complete letdown. I had never seen her co-star before this, but she was also incredibly annoying and very unfunny. Skip it.

My wife and I watched Babes (2024) in theaters this evening. The storyline follows lifelong best friends as they transition into family life and motherhood. One of the friends unexpectedly gets pregnant and stumbles into motherhood. This news is almost immediately followed by tragedy, testing the best friends' relationship like never before. The film is directed by Pamela Adlon (44 episodes of Better Things) and stars Ilana Glazer (Broad City), Michelle Buteau (Zootopia), Hasan Minhaj (No Hard Feelings), John Carroll Lynch (Fargo), and Stephan James (If Beale Street Could Talk). Babes is a unique and well-written addition to the comedy genre. The characters are authentic and experience realistic circumstances. The dialogue is sharp, and the situations are creative. Some of my favorite moments included the boy milking conversation, the scenes where they are high, the brother doctors at the lab, the ongoing poop references, and the "needle" situation, all of which were hilarious. The birth scenes are also well done. The storyline has a great premise and a rewarding ending. My only complaint is that some conversations felt overdone and there were a few cheesy moments. In conclusion, Babes is a smart addition to the comedy genre, similar to "Booksmart." I would score it an 8/10 and strongly recommend it.

How disappointing it is when you see a movie that you were looking forward to only to walk away unimpressed, if not largely disappointed. So it is with director Pamela Adlon's debut feature, a comedy-drama about the wild and crazy relationship between two lifelong thirtysomething New York BFFs (Ilana Glazer, Michelle Buteau) who share the experiences of pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood while struggling to maintain the kind of free-spirited friendship they had before becoming mothers. The narrative consists of a series of vignettes - some outrageous, some touching, some serious - involving various aspects of their connection, their individual lives and their interactions with others. Unfortunately, these episodes are wildly inconsistent, regardless of their nature. Some work well (especially, surprisingly enough, those that get unapologetically down and dirty with unbridled raunchy humor), but most others fall stunningly flat for a variety of reasons. The biggest problem here is the writing, which frequently tries far too hard to make the material work. Some segments simply aren't funny, relying on excessive exhausting mugging and overacting to win over audience members and unsuccessfully persuade them otherwise. Others are utterly preposterous and implausible (despite trying to come across as "zany" or "outrageous"), lacking credibility in terms of plot devices, character development and story flow. And others still are just plain inauthentic, particularly when driven by the strained chemistry between the two often-immature leads, whose supposed bond simply isn't convincing. What's more, when the film unsuccessfully tries to turn serious, scenes that are supposed to move and touch viewers don't work, because the film doesn't do enough to engender sufficient interest in the protagonists, their challenges or their relationship with one another. To its credit, the film features some fine performances by supporting cast members (John Carroll Lynch, Stephan James, Elena Ouspenskaia), but the leads grow progressively tiresome, especially the longer the movie drones on. In short, "Babes" is a big misfire that fails to deliver despite a few modest laughs along the way. Best bet for this one? Wait for it to come to streaming.

Went to the AMC ScreenUnseen mystery movie (you don't find out anything about it until the movie starts) This is something we really enjoy usually. The movies are usually inspiring or comedys. But not this time. This was the movie they picked. I was horrified and uncomfortable, as I was watching this with my father (I'm 49 by the way). Numerous people felt the same way they got up and left we contemplated leaving ourselves. There wasn't anything funny about it. Just a lot of heavy vulgarity, "f this and that", lots of talk about womens lady parts and bodily fluids and sex. The mystery movie was only $5 each and even that...I wanted my money back.

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.
