Bad Parents takes a fine, if obvious premise that traveling youth soccer is a vicious jungle and tries hard to make a full movie out of the carnage. But too much emphasis on the repressed sexual needs of the moms, and a terribly misguided reaction to a state finals loss pushes this film over the edge from funny to pathetic.
As a rule it's only funny if it's funny. If you want to make is serious, that's in play, but then you should consider being realistic.
I was a soccer parent for several years. The truth in this film is strong in spots, but it got bent like Beckham in my opinion.
