"You did not tell me how sexy it was to be pregnant! Were you crazy horny??" Neon has revealed an official trailer for the comedy titled Babes, the first feature film directed by the actress Pamela Adlon. This recently premiered at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival and it's set for a US debut in theaters this May. After becoming pregnant from a one-night stand, Eden leans on her married best friend and mother of two, Dawn, to guide her through gestation and beyond. From co-writers Ilana Glazer and Josh Rabinowitz, Babes is a hilarious and heartfelt comedy about the bonds of friendship and the messy, unpredictable challenges of adulthood and becoming a parent. Starring Ilana Glazer as Eden and Michelle Buteau as Dawn, along with John Carroll Lynch, Hasan Minhaj, Stephan James, Oliver Platt, and Sandra Bernhard.
