Funny but not that funny
Funny but it would be more funny if a i was a girl, its not as fun as bridesmaids like the poster said ok, lets not lie ok producers its bad to lie, so the two main actresses are funny and they have are going to have good careers, both are young and attractive so its a win win for them, the whole premise is simple but effective, she is pregnant and her friend with experience in the matter is helping her, but that friend also has his own struggles and its not easy for her, its a comedy movie about friendship and the struggle to maintain that friendship, everyone has an past experience like this one, overall 6/10 ok little movie. - AfricanBro - 17 May 2024
"Let's go ruin a towel"
The first few jokes were predictable, like the wet seat gag, which was sooo obvious. It felt like it dragged on too long. However, after that the humor was better, great even. It's a movie that rewards you the longer you watch.
Despite the rough start, the funny scenes made the movie for me. I especially liked the twins, the omen bedroom scene, and the big needle scene-my favorite part. There's some profanity and raunchy comedy, which might bother some, but I actually enjoyed it. I say that 'cause the movie deals with themes of pregnancy, sisterhood, and family-the beautiful and difficult aspects, and their impact on mental health. I think some people might watch it for those themes and not like the humor, but I felt the two elements worked well together, making it appealing to different audiences. It reminded me of "Scrambled" from earlier this year, which more people should have seen.
The movie is quite messy and chaotic, which led to some unexpected good scenes like the random plumbing issues. So I liked that chaos. It was strange there wasn't a nurse to help her to the 4th floor, though. I liked seeing Stephan James from "Beacon 23" and the doctor provided great comedic relief.
The chemistry didn't pull you in like the greatest girl-mance or romance ever, but the conversations felt real. The characters felt like actual friends. It didn't have the strongest start, but the movie gets better as it goes, and I'd recommend it. If you like this, you should check out "Scrambled" too.
