Review of Bad Moms

Bad Moms (2016)
2/10
Bad movie
19 October 2016
Mila Kunis plays a hard working mom with two kids. She juggles her work life which involves endless meetings and working extra hours even though she only works part time with her family life of getting the kids ready for school, doing their homework, picking them up for school and taking them to various activities as well as shopping and cooking.

We are not sure where the dad fits in all this, he appears to be a slob with an interest in internet porn.

No one takes her seriously and when she throws her husband out she falls out with the bullying head of the PTA played by Christina Applegate.

Mila along with two other mothers, one who is timid, the other a slovenly herself join ranks and indulge in some bad behaviour of drinking, partying and attracting men.

This puts them on a collision course with Applegate who treats the PTA as her very own fiefdom.

The film is marketed as a gross out comedy centred on females, a bit like Bridesmaids. It just comes across as wretched and unfunny. The writing is atrocious. You have a head of PTA threatening to sack school staff and doing illegal things yet no one seems to notice even if it is common assault in front of witnesses.

It just shows what a poorly contrived mess the whole film is.
