I'm gonna try to go see this, good low to mid budget comedies and dramas need to get more theatrical releases again.

[@thisisevan1]

If the name of the next Breakfast All Day Livestream isn't "Ask Christy Anything About Fluids," what are we even doing here?

[@BreakfastAllDay]

This might be more information than you need!

[@SmittySatou]

Regal’s first movie mystery Monday I actually enjoyed. I had a lot of fun with this but it’s significantly better off as a Netflix and chill film instead of a theater worthy watch

[@moebrains5893]

LMFAO 😂😂😂 the fluids discussion is for the patreon subscribers only! s/

[@tlovehater]

😄

[@brianng8350]

Got to see this early in an AMC mystery/unseen movie. I should like this movie more. It has outrageous comedy, but also serious topics/drama. A movie that can offer both is right up my alley. By the end of the movie, it was just an okay movie. There were some silly joke and some tender moments, but not enough or did not mesh well? Together Together is still the gold standard for witty dialogue, jokes and serious discussion moments.

[@rasnac]

Christy is such a genius when it comes to segues, she should give a masterclass about it.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Ha, thank you! We aim to entertain.

[@Flashbagfolly]

So Broad City the movie? RE fluids: He often should I change my antifreeze/coolant?

[@LPantelakos]

I think Alonso's dumb Nicole Holofcener observation is pretty spot on. It's too broad at times, but definitely very funny.

[@niktour352]

Pam is also a great voice actress

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Yes! She's Bobby Hill. Thanks for the reminder.

[@ChrisVCrawford]

@@BreakfastAllDay That boy ain't right.

[@El_oh7199]

I was surprised by how much I liked this movie. The first 5 minutes is gut bustingly funny

[@BreakfastAllDay]

They definitely find an inspired way into that mad-dash-to-the-hospital scene 😂

[@nancykerrigan]

BABES vs BABY MAMA; who will win?

[@jamesbunt6846]

Alonso missed the obvious pun that Pamela Adlon is a Facts of Lifer.

[@krosewall]

Please review Evil Does Not Exist

[@BreakfastAllDay]

We will! We loved Drive My Car. Thanks for asking.

[@krosewall]

@@BreakfastAllDay Great. Hope you'll do a spoiler review:)

[@LEOIAMLEOONYOUTUBE]

30 thousand by the end of the year! Let's go!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Thanks Leo!

[@jasoncarrick5461]

Yes Christy, you will really enjoy "Better Things".

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Good to know, thank you!

[@mattjazzfan2288]

I wanna go see this because I like everybody involved, but I just find pregnancy humor inherently unfunny because it tends to be so over the top. A lot of the scenes in the trailer give off “what to expect when you’re expecting” vibes and I’m just not into it. Does the rest of the film make up for it?

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Oh it’s better than that. Give it a shot.

[@frmm123]

Aim in decimal terms: 1,000 subs -- 10,000 subs -- 100,000 subs -- 1,000,000 subs. You got this!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Thanks so much! We're getting close.

[@jerseyforhawks]

Broad City; the Movie. Except BC was good.

[@kevinriley2261]

How much were you paid for this review? The movie was awful and NOT funny at all.

[@leosylver7]

Hold on, surely.. Abortion or morning after pill... even a option or mentioned in the film?

[@BreakfastAllDay]

For sure mentioned! As we say, the Glazer character *chooses* to have the baby.

[@kevinmaynard249]

Disappointing with that talent, cute but not funny or emotional or memorable.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

They have pretty great chemistry though, no?

[@trentSMC]

@@BreakfastAllDaythey have alright chemistry but the jokes did not hit. The humor didn’t hit at all for me I even tried to laugh and still was just unfortunately unbothered by any of the comedy. The joke that put the nail in the coffin for this comedy was the one about milking little boys. Disgusting. I should have walked out. Thanks for the review
