I saw Babes, starring Ilana Glazer-Broad City_tv, Rough Night; Michelle Buteau-First Wives Club_tv, Marry Me; Hasan Minhaj-The Spy Who Dumped Me, The Dailey Show_tv and John Carroll Lynch-Big Sky_tv, The Founder.
This is a comedy about female friendship that is just not that funny. Ilana & Michelle are childhood friends living in New York City and have always done everything together. On holidays, they even have a routine of going to the movies-just the 2 of them. Michelle is married to Hasan and they have 2 kids but Ilana is single. After carefree Ilana has a one night stand and gets pregnant, she decides to keep the baby and she wants Michelle to help her-the one night stand died. John plays Michelle's doctor that delivered her children and now, will be Ilana's. Maybe it's because I'm a male but I just didn't think that a lot of the humor was that funny. Lots of lactating jokes and pooping jokes. An example of one of the jokes; the mother pooping all over the baby during childbirth. There were a couple of cameos-Sandra Bernhard & Oliver Platt-but they didn't add much to the story. Maybe they showed up as a favor to someone.
It's rated R for language, drug use and sexual content-partial nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 44 minutes.
It's not one that I would buy on DVD but if you want to see it, I guess it would be alright to stream.
