Imagine if the Mean Girls got married and had kids, Bad Moms stars Mila Kunis (in her first reel life Mom role) as Amy who juggles her everyday life as a wife, mom to her two kids and her work in a start-up coffee company where at 32, she is the oldest worker.
She meets fellow mothers in the school that her daughter and son go after an unfortunate incident with its PTA President (Christina Applegate in a delightfully villainous role with comic bile) and her friends Jada Pinkett-Smith (unfortunately wasted in a supporting role) and the Oscar nominated screenwriter of Bridesmaids Annie Mumulo. They form a clique of Queen Bee Moms and even though they have kids of their own, they make everyone feel like they're back in school again.
Amy finds solace and friends with the other set of mothers: the free-spirited and fast talking Carla, a funny Kathryn Hahn and the very busy supermom Kiki (Kirsten Bell). The trio then rediscover life with friends and themselves as well.
The great cast raises the quality of Bad Moms with impeccable comic timing and some cameos from celebrities that work. It also feels like watching a Judd Apatow film with some scenes that tug your heart especially when the gang open up being mothers.
