Bad Moms keeps the raunch-com bar enjoyably low

In a recent interview, the pregnant mom to daughter Wyatt, revealed, “I’ve always said this, I think you know when your family is complete”.

Mila Kunis plays Amy, your typical suburban superwoman who works and cleans and cooks and takes care of her “third child” of a husband all while dealing with the stresses of raising two actual kids. “After we had Wyatt, the second that I gave birth, I was like, “I know that we need to have another baby”. How sweet is THAT? She and two brand new Mom friends at the bar then get thoroughly, fall-down sloshed and invade their favorite supermarket, where they terrorize everybody, guzzle gallon bottles of milk and spray bagfuls of crunchy munchables all over the floor.

There are definitely nights where we’re all cuddling and they ask me to sing a song-I am dreading the day when they outgrow that-and they’re getting along and it feels peaceful and I just want to blow up and die with gratitude and love. One fine day she snaps out and ends the relationship as she gets to know that her husband is cheating on her. Call it a awful bad casting decision, or a really convoluted plot where you setup a character to fail simply to make your protagonist rise.

Would the movie, starring Mila Kunis as Amy Mitchell live up to the hype?

Bad Moms might set a record for montages and number of times a character says the title of the movie in a line of dialogue. Between Bad Moms and Ghostbusters, the women of the multiplex are partying it up – and we get to crash.

Pushed to a breaking point after “one of those days” where everything takes a turn for the wrong, Amy makes her big move: she quits the PTA.

Complicating things for Amy are the attentions of hot single dad Jesse Harkness (Jay Hernandez, Suicide Squad), who is made even more lovable in the school moms’ eyes thanks to his widower status, and the never-ending demands of her kids (Emjay Anthony, recently seen in The Jungle Book, and Oona Laurence, of the upcoming Pete’s Dragon).

Mila Kunis plays Amy, the overworked mom trying to keep her career, run the house and still be a good parent.

The movie was written and directed by two men. When she finally decides to go to the dark side, she is accompanied by Kiki (Kirsten Bell) and Carla (Kathryn Hahn). “There’s no such thing as balance”, the actress told E!

Bad Moms screens at International Village and Marine Gateway.

Reading the script, you’d think a woman wrote it, but talking to Jon and Scott, you realise it’s an homage to their wives.

“I wanted a very small, like the thinnest possible platinum band”. The sight gags are amusing enough, the writing though is pretty much pedestrian and the exaggerations are obviously not intended to be mean or hurtful to either sex. She was being really quiet, and I was like, ‘Oh, let me look in the rearview mirror to make sure everything’s okay, And I look, and she’s happy as can be, but just not almost strapped in.
