Amy's life is too busy: her useless husband doesn't help, her daughter has demanding school activities, her annoying boss has turned her part-time job into full-time without paying her for it so, when PTA tyrant Gwendolyn pressures her over cakes at the Bake Sale, Amy cracks and, accompanied by sex-mad Karla and timid and downtrodden Kiki, they decide to leave the demands of motherhood behind in favour of more immediately satisfying activities.This film - according to its publicity - wants to be a female version of The Hangover. But Bridesmaids already did that and, besides, Bad Moms turns out to be about moms who aren't really bad at all, they're just moms.Mila Kunis, as protagonist Amy, plays straight man to Katherine Hahn's very funny horny mom Karla, and Kristen Bell's meek and slapstick-prone Kiki. Christina Applegate plays Machiavellian PTA mastermind Gwendolyn very well despite having one of the least credible changes of heart I can ever recall in a film.There aren't many belly laughs, but I chuckled often. The discussion about circumcised vs uncircumcised amused me, even though I am not the target audience (I'm not sure who the target audience actually was: this sort of raunchy comedy usually seems aimed at the twenteens, but the material here would strike a chord with mothers of school-age children. The two groups aren't mutually exclusive, but they don't have huge crossover either).There is some heart, too, albeit clearly engineered precisely to tug at the heartstrings - Karla's final exchange with her son being a case in point. And the interviews over the closing credits between the 6 main female actors and their real-life mothers were great.Comedy movies - well, all films, really - are very personal, and what might appeal to one person doesn't necessarily appeal to another. Much US opinion is against this on the grounds that it's anti-male. I didn't give that a thought, and quite liked it.

Really bad movie. Bad Mom gets to run the PTA because she sucks at being a mom and drops the f-bomb. In truth, the PTA appeared to be a pretty slick working machine. For all the pro-feminism gestures, Amy marries a bum and stays with him long enough while his over the top neglect to his family and entitled abuse and open infidelities at his wife expense are so over sold, you wonder why such a strong women would subject her kids (or make kids) with this asshole.Then we have bad mom #2 who is also bullied by a husband who appears to suffer from some sexual dysfunction so she mocks him for it... This move sucks, is not funny, and was a waste of my time...

Ok I've read some of the bad reviews for this movie and a lot of the people that hate it are just taking it WAY TOO SERIOUSLY. It's not the frickin Da Vinci Code or Passion of the Christ ok? I personally really enjoyed this movie because I accepted it for what it is. Sure there are stereotypical characters (like Christina Applegate as the uberwealthy, overbearing head of the PTA) and cliché dialogue and plot lines. But as a woman with no children I thought it was hilarious listening to the wacky dreams of mothers (like being hit by a car so they can be taken care of).So if you can put aside your desire for a movie to "make sense", "have meaning", "correctly reflect reality" etc. and think it would be funny for mums to throw a drunken house party, watch this movie.

I found that movie easy and funny, though it was kind of sexist. If you rely on that movie to create your own picture on how a family works, you could eventually reach to the idea that in a regular family only the wife is really working hard, while the husband is spending 10 months on online dating/jerking, and/or walking around the cafeterias during the day, just to find his wife chatting with her friends in order to humiliate her as she is not with her kids as she 'should be'. It turns out that only the moms are really caring about what's going on at school. There is only one father and he is a widow - duh how convenient. Otherwise, he should be divorced, but still cool. How this can be possible if his wife is not cheating or he is not a jerk? No, he is cool and she has just passed away, keeping the ideal for the working mom, now he need to replace her, which is not an easy task. Anyway, if you like Mila Kunis or want a nice, sweet comedy, this could be a good option.
