Amy (Mila Kunis) has a great husband, overachieving children, beautiful home and successful career. Unfortunately, she's also overworked, exhausted and ready to snap. Fed up, she joins forces with two other stressed-out mothers (Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn) to get away from daily life and conventional responsibilities. As the gals go wild with their newfound freedom, they set themselves up for the ultimate showdown with PTA queen bee Gwendolyn and her clique of seemingly perfect moms.

Critics Consensus

Bad Moms boasts a terrific cast and a welcome twist on domestic comedy -- and they're often enough to compensate for the movie's unfortunate inability to take full advantage of its assets.

I wasn't expecting some sort of deep, philosophical dive into motherhood from this film. I was simply expecting to laugh maybe once.

It has no substance; it doesn't say anything.

A little more vinegar... and Bad Moms could have been a genuinely subversive comedy, rather than just a sweetly funny one.

Rated: 3/5

Fiction Machine

If nothing else it represents 100 minutes in the company of several very funny comic actors. That hardly seems a terrible way to spend your time.

Rated: 6/10

Although the plot may sound simple in its nature, it’s amazing how much self-described bad moms can do.

Clearly written by men. Characters were stereotypical and cartoonish. The only reason I gave it any stars is that it was cast well.

Honestly, surprisingly good! I did not know what I was expecting, but this movie definitely made me laugh. Sure, every once and a while in certain movies the sex jokes feel overused; and sure, sometimes i felt like they overused the sex jokes here as well. However, did I dislike it? No, not at all. They were placed in times were they would fit and made them work wonderfully for my taste. For a comedy, they also handle serious topics pretty well may I add. Divorce? Check. Kids during divorce? Check. Shitty husbands? Check. Motherhood? Check. Honestly I don't want kids at the moment, and this movie doesn't really make me want to have kids. HOWEVER, in the future, when and IF I want kids, it would be because of this movie. Also, shoutout to all the moms out there who are trying their best; because truly, being a mom sounds exhausting. But all of you are doing your best, and that is more than enough.

Bad Moms is a comedic thrill, with just enough sweet moments to make it a fun movie for moms(and older kids) alike! While it may lag in some parts, and be slightly over dramatic, the comedy and chemistry between the moms gives a movie enjoyable enough to watch at least a few times to actually absorb it all, since the first time, a few parts will be so quick and unexpected your brain will be going WHAT THE HELL. But, this movie is enjoyable in all ways, with the comedy, sweetness, and relatable moments for moms.

It had moments that mad me laugh, but they were few and far between. The story was interesting enough but the writing felt very mundane, and even bizarre at times. I can see what they were going for here, it just didn't quite hit the mark. Kathryn Hahn was the most interesting character in this movie and even she couldn't save it. Not the worst thing I've ever seen, but there are much better movies like this out there.
