The new Neon film ‘BABES’ focuses on childhood best friends Eden, played by Ilana Glazer, and Dawn, played by Michelle Buteau. The film was directed by Pamela Adlon who helped capture two best friends who grew up together in New York City and are going through the transition of being in completely different phases in their adulthood.
This comedy captures the essence of growing pains, motherhood, and friendship. The characters Eden and Dawn are an inseparable pair and like true best friends nothing is off limits.
When the single, carefree character Eden decides to have a baby after a one-night stand, her friendship with Dawn is challenged. The film is sure to bring laughter and is filled with many scenes that viewers will be able to relate to. Ilana Glazer says, “I really hope people feel like they took a breath of fresh air,” after people watch the film. Glazer not only appeared in the movie but helped co-write alongside Josh Rabinowitz.
“The great thing about this movie is that there is something for everybody and you don’t have to do it all yourself,” said Michelle Buteau. This heartfelt comedy about the unpredictable challenges of adulthood, parenthood, and friendship has something for viewers to see themselves within these characters.
BABES will be available to watch only in theaters on May 17th, 2024. Watch the trailer here!
