Babes

In the heartwarming comedy Babes, released in 2024, we dive into the chaotic yet relatable journey of Lucy, a single woman whose life takes an unexpected turn after a spontaneous one-night stand leaves her pregnant. As she grapples with the whirlwind of emotions that come with impending motherhood, Lucy finds solace and guidance in her best friend, Sarah, a seasoned mother of two who navigates the ups and downs of family life with a mix of humor and resilience. Their friendship is put to the test as Lucy leans heavily on Sarah for support, leading to hilarious misadventures and poignant moments that explore the complexities of friendship, parenthood, and self-discovery.
