Babes

This movie captures the happy, sad, and downright difficult moments of motherhood and pregnancy in a comedic yet engaging way. I had high hopes for this movie following Ilana Glazer's success from Broad City but found several moments of boredom mixed with downright "comedic" cringe. Having said that, it did serve it's function as a feel-good movie which held my attention enough to finish the movie. I appreciated it's dive into some serious topics involving motherhood and absentee fatherhood as well as how it affects the family structure. I do hope that Ilana can break out from her usual goofy comedy into something with a bit more depth but this will have to do for now.
