It is so fun. If you loved Bridesmaids, you will love Babes.

Life, as a character in "Babes" points out, isn't always like a Nora Ephron movie, but it's a pleasure to watch these two stumble toward their own happy ending.

Rated: 3/4

It's like Bridesmaid but about pregnancy, and all the stuff that comes out in a pregnancy, and I mean all the physical stuff and emotional stuff.

With Glazer and Buteau, Babes is relatable to anyone who has maneuvered the ups and down from childhood friendships to adult ones.

That’ll do, babes. That’ll do. In all seriousness, Babes is often a very funny movie. Pure and simple. Pamela Adlon knows how to direct comedy better than most.

Rated: 3.5/5
