Movie Review: Bad Moms
From the writers of the The Hangover, Jon Lucas & Scott Moore - Bad Moms is a hilarious satire on motherhood, and the quest to be the perfect super mom.
Amy, played by Mila Kunis has a seemingly perfect life, married with two kids, a beautiful home, and a great career. Things start to fall apart when she finds out that her lazy husband played by David Walton is having an online affair. She realises that she has been over working to try and be the perfect super mom, super wife, and super employee, and she is just super tired of all of it.
Fed up with her situation she changes her whole approach to life. She meets two other over-stressed mothers, Kiki played by Kristen Bell and Carla played by Kathryn Hahn. Kiki is a stay at home mother of four, who fantasises about ending up in an accident just so she can stay in hospital for two weeks to escape her crazy life. Carla who is an actual true 'Bad Mom', (especially with the strong language she uses), is a divorced parent who couldn't care less about her son, or how she conducts herself in public.
The three find common ground for their hate against their children's school P.T.A president, Gwendolyn, who is played by Christina Appelgate. Gwendolyn is your typical rich wife that drives a Range Rover, owns a private jet, and four boats. Snobbish is an understatement, and the only friends she has are her two side-kicks, Stacy (Jada Pinkett Smith) and Vicky (Annie Mumolo). Gwendolyn controls everything that happens at the school including the mothers. Amy, together with Kiki and Carla take Gwendolyn on in the upcoming P.T.A presidential elections while just having fun being 'Bad Moms'.
Moms will definitely relate to all the characters in the movie.
Be a Bad Mom for once, take your friends out and have a good laugh with Amy, Kiki, and Carla.
