Amigas para Sempre

The brainchild of Pamela Adlon and Ilana Glazer, is a comedy that tackles the messy realities of female friendship and motherhood. Glazer shines as Eden, a free-spirited yoga instructor whose life takes a sharp turn when her best friend Dawn (Michelle Buteau) becomes a mom of two, and Eden herself gets pregnant from a one-night stand.

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.

I really liked this! This movie had me laughing throughout, shocked at times and crying by the end, I'm learning to not always trust the ratings on here, the movie is not for everyone. It's definitely for the Mothers, Aunties and Best friends, might get too real for men who aren't Dads. I can relate to the relationship between the women juggling their conflicting struggles. They showed the loneliness that comes with being a parent of multiple kids and a lot of the more real parts of pregnancy and parenting that we don't often see in films or shows.

The movie was funny, witty, charming and unpredictable.

Ilana Glazer's Broad City spunk was great to see again, coupled with Michelle Buteau's crack up personality. The supporting cast was super complimentary.

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 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.

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.
