Babes

 It could easily be a comedy with Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph but it's not. It's Ilana Glazer and Michelle Buteau as Eden and Dawn respectively. Eden and Dawn have been best friends since childhood. Dawn is pregnant with her second child and shortly after giving birth, Eden finds herself pregnant after a one night stand. "Babes" falls into the "Bridesmaids" category of film - you're in for this kind of fun. The script (Ilana Glazer and Josh Rabinowitz) is smart and lively, taking unexpected turns and it's a fresh take on motherhood, friendship, and pregnancy. Director Pamela Adlon has crafted something special here which is worth your time. Character actor John Carroll Lynch ("Zodiac" "Chanel Zero," and literally over a hundred other roles) plays a doctor with a hair issue. I love him in everything he shows up in. Just another reason to check out "Babes," now streaming on Prime. Or go rent it from Movies 'N' Stuff here in Ottawa.
