“Babes”

7.8

This was SO GOOD! I expected funny, but not laugh out loud the entire time funny. This one left the entire theater in stitches. There was an authenticity that took the comedy over the top and really made it fire on all cylinders. Instead of going for pure slapstick, it had a great deal of genuine heart under the hood that made the buy-in that much stronger and the laughs hit that much harder. There’s an unabashed quality here that not many films have nowadays. Perfectly cast and expertly executed. From the hairstyles of the OB/GYN to the doula embracing the prom theme for the birth. We were all here for every bit of the magical messiness.
