Our suggestions
When carefree and single Eden (Ilana Glazer) decides to have a baby on her own after a one-night stand, her friendship with childhood best friend Dawn (Michelle Buteau) faces its greatest challenge. "Babes" is a hilarious and heartfelt comedy about the bonds of female friendship and the messy, unpredictable challenges of adulthood and becoming a parent.
"Babes is a comedy directed by actress and comedian Jennifer Adlon (in her directorial debut), starring Ilana Glazer and Michelle Buteau, about female friendship and motherhood. The plot follows two friends, one of whom is married and a new mom, and the other who has decided to become a single mother shortly after becoming pregnant. With a front-and-center, unfiltered sense of humor, but very funny, the film presents a series of situations that dismantle idealized conceptions of motherhood and its processes, while developing its two protagonists in a believable and authentic way. Without a doubt, one of the best comedies of 2024."
