With Glazer and Buteau, Babes is relatable to anyone who has maneuvered the ups and down from childhood friendships to adult ones.

That’ll do, babes. That’ll do. In all seriousness, Babes is often a very funny movie. Pure and simple. Pamela Adlon knows how to direct comedy better than most.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 10, 2024

Great physical comedy and witty one-liners throughout.

It is so fun. If you loved Bridesmaids, you will love Babes.

Full Review | Jun 8, 2024

Glazer, and especially Buteau, sometimes strike the right note of madcap and truthful. But such hits are mostly overpowered by misfires.

The way (BABES) speaks to the dichotomy of parenthood is astoundingly relatable.

Full Review | Original Score: A | Jun 7, 2024

As long as the jokes are firing, Babes is a welcome arrival on our screens.

Full Review | Jun 6, 2024

The year's best comedy so far.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Jun 6, 2024

Your mileage with Babes will depend almost entirely on whether Glazer’s singularly yelpy approach to comedy works for you. If it does, Babes is a reliably funny hour and a half of R-rated mayhem.

Full Review | Jun 3, 2024

One of those post-Apatow comedies in which likable television personalities stand around ad-libbing and pulling faces over a promising premise that hasn’t been fleshed out into a story.

Full Review | Jun 3, 2024

If coarse humor turns you off, “Babes” isn’t for you. For others, it’s an often funny and occasionally touching look at unshakable female bonds.

Babes is likely to be best appreciated by those who are already parents, and could terrify those who aren't.

Full Review | May 28, 2024

Adlon displays a very dry wit and a well-tuned sense of the absurdities women endure to be mothers, lovers and friends.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 26, 2024

Babes may be a portrayal of the unglamourous truth of pregnancy, but the film itself is joyous. It's warm and hilarious, and the female friendship at the centre of it makes this well worth a watch.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | May 26, 2024

What to expect when you’re expecting laughter. Pamela Adlon's pregnancy comedy delivers babies and laughs. Ilana Glazer and Michelle Buteau make a great team!

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 25, 2024

Life, as a character in "Babes" points out, isn't always like a Nora Ephron movie, but it's a pleasure to watch these two stumble toward their own happy ending.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | May 25, 2024

It's like Bridesmaid but about pregnancy, and all the stuff that comes out in a pregnancy, and I mean all the physical stuff and emotional stuff.

Full Review | May 24, 2024

If you need a laugh, a little pick-me-up, whether you're child-free or a mom, this is the movie for you! Best enjoyed with a group of friends.

Full Review | May 24, 2024

Unfortunately, what is a tender and at times fantastically raunchy film... is continually undermined by writing that is so self-satisfied with its quips and gags that it bypasses the work of actually building out a complex story.

When I say Babes is one messy comedy, I mean that in the best possible way.
