Ilana Glazer and Michelle Buteau are taking on motherhood in the official trailer for Babes. Written by Glazer and Josh Rabinowitz, it tells the story of two childhood friends who grew up in NYC. Now firmly in two different phases of their lives, they try to navigate adulthood. Eden (Glazer) is the carefree one while Dawn (Buteau) is the one with a husband and family. That in itself is enough to make their friendship complicated. But things become harder for the two when Eden becomes pregnant after a one-night stand and starts her journey as a single mother.
In the official trailer for Babes, we get to see some of the challenges that these two face. Because Eden wants her bestie at her side for all of these milestones that she doesn’t have a partner for. But unfortunately, Dawn has a busy life and can’t be there for everything. So it’s about trying to find a new balance, remember why they love each other, and still support the other as they journey through motherhood from different places. And for a Hollywood that rarely sees women explore stories like this with a heavy helping of laughter in the mix, this movie feels refreshing.
