A hysterical, bawdy comedy about two friends (Ilana Glazer and Michelle Buteau) weathering different stages of motherhood, in all its messy, joyful glory.

Better Things creator and star Pamela Adlon's debut feature follows the comedic ups and downs of best friends Eden (Ilana Glazer) and Dawn (Michelle Buteau). When the story begins, Dawn is about to give birth to her second child, and not long after she does, Eden finds herself pregnant after a one-night stand with a charming stranger (Stephan James). With the help of supporting turns by Hasan Minaj as Dawn's husband and John Carroll Lynch as a patient OB-GYN, Adlon portrays the rollercoaster of motherhood in all its glorious and hilarious biological details. 

Written by Glazer and fellow Broad City writer Josh Rabinowitz, this endearing and raunchy comedy mines the unbelievably long list of "things you never knew before getting pregnant" for gross-out laughs earned through brutal honesty. Wowing audiences at SXSW, this paean to female friendship offers a vital look at parts of a woman's life rarely, if ever, seen on screen.
