Bad Moms

Bad Moms is a comedy that, despite being dominated by a mostly female cast, has balls and isn't afraid to sell it, while maintaining a tolerable level of humour and not slipping into the awkward and disgusting ends of the genre, as is the case with many comedies from current production. I really had a lot of fun and laughed as much as I have in a long time during the film, whether it was during the discussions and banter between the various "bad moms" or purely during the gestures and physical acting of the characters. The cast was well chosen, as each actress in the central trio had her own distinctive comic take on the character she was playing, which worked to a tee. Plus I liked the credit scene with the real mothers of each actress. All in all, a pleasant surprise and a breather all in one with a likeable cast, a properly peppy script and just enough funny moments delivered frequently and in the right doses. (13/08/2016)

Well, that was quite something. 100 minutes of sheer desperation. Women with kids and a husband who doesn't help with anything have it tough. Wow, I just summed up the film in one sentence. I'm not one of those who think parental leave is a vacation, but it’s annoying when women complain about having children. I assume they were actively involved in the process of conception, perhaps with the exception of Mary of Nazareth. The humor in the film isn’t much to talk about, the romantic scenes made me cringe, and the ending was so touching it made me want to puke. One star for the great character of Kiki played by Kristen Bell who was the only one I enjoyed. (19/11/2016)
