The writers from “The Hangover Trilogy” Jon Lucas (making his directorial debut) and Scott Moore bring another comedy with “Bad Moms” and I have to say that I was really surprised.
The story focuses on Amy (Mila Kunis) a mother who works too hard for her two children and for her husband Mike (David Walton) who is considered a 3rd child.
But everything will change when Amy gets tired of being the “good mother” and in a school´s PTA Meeting she will rebel herself making the PTA leader Gwendolyn (Christina Applegate) and her friends Stacy (Jada Pinkett Smith) and Vicky (Annie Mumolo) making them mad and therefore declaring war on Amy.
Later Amy will encounter with Carla (Kathryn Hahn) and Kiki (Kristen Bell) two mothers who are in the same situation as Amy and under appreicated join forces, leading them to become best friends and eventually they will support Amy to be the next PTA Leader making Gwendolyn even more furious towards the three women.
What I really liked of “Bad Moms” is that is movie that makes you feel good, even though the title is not that attractive but the script and story are sweet and has a lot of heart.
Kathryn Hahn is so far the best comedy actresses and the chemistry with Kunis and Bell works at all levels.
Christina Applegate plays a wonderful villain very rare to see her in this type of role but she really delivers and it could have a resemblance with Cruella de Vil.
Yes it is full by moments that can be gross and all of the women are loud mouth but you will get very good kicks of it.
“Bad Moms” is indeed one of the surprises in comedy of this year and I haven´t laugh so hard since I saw “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising” which by far is the best comedy movie of 2016.
I hope you have a very good time with “Bad Moms” and of course I give it a huge recommendation, making it one of the funniest movies of the summer.
