Fed up, she joins forces with two other over-stressed moms on a quest to liberate themselves from conventional responsibilities - going on a wild, un-mom-like binge of long overdue freedom, fun and self-indulgence - putting them on a collision course with PTA Queen Bee Gwendolyn and her clique of devoted perfect moms.Written by

While the film is obviously a comedy and fictional, in real life No PTA meeting among mothers especially on school campus would tolerate the F-Bomb or suggested sexual and or drug use being dropped as much as what was portrayed in this film. In fact, anything including the binge drinking connected to any school sponsored event would have met with dire sanctions. This holds true to the Amy's job as well with the F-Bomb being dropped all over the place as it creates a hostile work environment for those females or even males who find the cursing or sexual remarks offensive among mixed company. No corporate manager would allow it. See more »

I did not have any expectations when I decided to go to Bad moms, and I came out indifferent. The movie has a plot that has been used numerous times in many high school flicks that you'd think Hollywood should start feel that it was overused, but not this time.
Basically, the movie is about the PTA president (Christina Applegate) who is a bully controlling perfectionist freak, when the not so perfect Mila Kunis decides to stand against her tyranny and overthrow her to become president, with some subplots that could have been more meaningful if the movie hasn't tackled them with such shallowness, like the so much pressure on parents to become perfect by even making up stuff that do not benefit the kids at all, and the unbalanced relationships among others, and the 80s born generation who is now in the struggle for balance between adulthood and youth.
The movie had some laughs in it, but all in all it was not worth the time, had you replaced the moms with high school kids it would've been the worst movie in years, but the story would've worked just as good.
And finally, if you are looking for the movie to win the Oscar for most characters flip 180 degrees for absolutely no decent reason and no build up whatsoever, this movie is your champ, I think the crew members probably changed from evil to good too because this must be an outbreak in the set or something.
