There are tons of bad movies out there, but it is quite unusual to find an *evil* movie, something that makes you feel that the people responsible are unethical inhuman beasts who belong in a zoo's cages rather than in society. And here isThere are tons of bad movies out there, but it is quite unusual to find an *evil* movie, something that makes you feel that the people responsible are unethical inhuman beasts who belong in a zoo's cages rather than in society. And here is one such case. In Bad Moms, there is a scene that mocks non-circumcised men. Yes, let that sink in: this excrescence of a movie body-shames men for *not* having their genitals mutilated. This is far beyond unfunny, this is morally unacceptable. Expand

Circumcision is stupid and so is this movie. Expand

In theory this should be a good movie, great cast, but uses the same "bad" behavior for cheap laughs that every other "bad" movie uses. The plot and setting are a painful reinforcement of gender stereotypes, with moms that do everything, even their kids homework. In 2016 this shouldn't even be being made and it is completely offensive that the child says she won't get into ivy league and will have to become a "teacher". Can see how they really value education by the clever and witty plot and multi-dimensional characters, oh wait, they don't have those. Expand

Bad Moms is a "Bad" Movie.

This film tried much too hard with the overuse of raunchy, vulgar unnecessary humor, which cheapened the movie, and caused this film to be nothing more than an overrated B Movie embarrassment.

I am not a prude by a long-shot, it just didn't work. Just a badly written movie.
I couldn't even utter a chuckle or a smile from these God awful flat jokes. All I could do, was roll my eyes with disbelief. Painful to watch.

This movie "could" have been SO brilliantly funny, witty, and adorable. What were the writers thinking??
It's definitely..... NO 'Hang-Over' movie. How could anyone remotely compare the two. Ouch!
What can I say..... It was just WRONG on every level.

Lastly- The first movie I ever walked out on, and demanded a refund. Thank you AMC Theaters for the credit. I wouldn't have paid $5.00 at a cheap show for this mess.

psst. Mila Kunis- I really like her. But this movie destroyed her
comedy appeal.

Please rethink, before you visit this movie.

A horrible let down from a great cast. A few cheap laughs. The message the movie was telling is an important one, a huge dynamic in today's world of motherhood, however it's portrayed in an escapist tone. To give bravado to being a bad parent and cheap meaningless sexual encounters with even shallower characters. A most Madame Defarge account of today. There are many ways these issues can be addressed. Education, research, self betterment. Instead to show recklessness and drugalcoholist as answers to the issue is negligent and unintelligent. Frat boys do a movie on bad moms! I expected much more from an intelligent person such as Mila Kunis. Expand

"Bad Moms" is so categorically misandrist as to be painful to watch. It is utterly dismissive of the male role in the family unit, to such an extent that calling it dismissive fails to capture how irrelevant the writers consider men in the lives of the moms and children portrayed. The film endeavors to suggest that female empowerment in the family unit can only be accomplished through emasculation and dismissal of the male. It goes on to portray abandonment of responsibility, substance abuse and casual sex as the only viable pathway to happiness and personal fulfillment for moms suffering from a lack of support at home. To call the plot of this movie far-fetched just wildly understates the level of abandonment of credulity that this work required. Expand

This movie is CANCER.

Too bad, because Mila Kunis and Kathryn Hahn really are funny, and some jokes are good. But the only way I can explain good reviews it is only because they must be fuelled by the secret elite trying to spread the dumbness that such a movie export.

Good perfomrance, good jokes (some) BUT the idiocy of certain logics baffles me. Watching the plots unfold made me feel offended. As if a human being I am nothing but powerless towards the better positioned in the "social hierarchy". I wasted too many words. Watch this movie only if you like mila kunis brand of comedy and if you are a masochist. Ot you hate yourself

All three women do a fine job with the script they have been given. It is only because of my appreciation of these three that I even gave this movie a four. Their strong screen presences (particularly Kristen Bell's weird stay at home mom) carried what is otherwise a dumpster fire of a film. First lets just get the main message of the film out of the way. It repeatedly depicts that men are bumbling, incompetent, and narcissistic. Even Amy's (Mila Kunis) son is presented as a spoiled brat while her daughter is a hard working but stressed achiever. The only male presented in an even slightly positive light is a widower who is just a vapid body for Amy to have rebound sex with. No men are shown at the PTA meetings, taking care of their kids, or doing anything remotely parental. If some rampant sexist depictions of women were done in the name of "comedy" the movie would universally be panned. Instead the film continues the growing trend that it is okay to depict (white) men as buffoons. The rest of the plot of the movie is basically paint by numbers. There are nuanced characters or any real insight besides "moms are the best but society demands too much of them." Expand

Kunis leads a clan of underappreciated and badly behaved moms in a boorish brouhaha spoof of modern day motherhood. Unfortunately the ending credits had more humor and heart than the film did.

Characters were cartoon stereotypes and just not funny - as much as I really wanted to like it - I didn't. This story hates men, has a scene that mocks natural in-tact men (uncircumcised) in a stupid show-n-tell demo like written by 7th graders. The dialogue works to be crude beyond belief and have shallow characters who only seem to want to be drunk and acting like loons out on a mental ward pass. Just as bad are of the "mean Queen-Bee" characters who are a way less clever version on the 90's teen movie Clueless' trio and surely not to be memorable in any way. For all the slang that was cute in that cult movie, I'm sure nobody is going to be saying things like "get your t*ts up" and other vulgarities that don't empower the characters but just make them sound dumb and trashy.

This is unwatchable. The plot has so many holes that make me scratch my head: How can a movie writer even start to conceptualize this ***fest!?
The plot: a mom who works as a secretary even though her husband made so much dough that HE apparently doesn't have to work, they live in (you guessed it) the safest suburb in all of america and deal with 0 of the social issues which over 70% of the country has to deal with. Instead, she deals with the most basic chores as they've exaggerated them immensely so that the audience sides with her when she decides to stop doing all of them for no good reason. biggest red flag from this movie was the single mom portrayed as a FLAT character who's trashy attitude is considered excusable.

This is the issue with this movie: nothing is grounded. 0 characters actually make sense or are reasonable. Due to this aspect, none of the movie is actually funny. It's basically an excuse so that any mom that is emotionally driven can say "YEah! THat's RIght! THis is HOw I FEel TOo!!!!1!".

Here are two of the biggest character offenses in this movie:

Character A) "the protagonist"
The protagonist mom is portrayed as the hero of this movie. Not some tragic hero that has a broken past and tries to better herself, no. She's played as an ENTITLED hero from her broken past in which she's allowed to do whatever she wants and consequences which are caused by this attitude are supposed to be forgiven by the audience (as shown at the end of the movie, when she cries about the fact that the kids went with the dad for the divorce because the kids were scared of the fact that she literally had a drunken party the other day.... no joke that's how **ty the plot is). We're supposed to feel sorry for her during the whole movie and it kind of makes me sick. This isn't like a Bad Santa movie, where the degenerate character is lead by some ***ed up circumstances which weren't in the control of said character, causing them to act like a looney. This is a character which is shown as a "good parent" (they portrayed this super badly in the movie) in which the parent IS ALWAYS at a loss in her SELFLESS (not really) acts, which she then decides to postpone these acts for no particular reason other than insecurity. And I'm supposed to feel bad for this person? I'm supposed to forgive her actions because she committed them out of insecurity? The ending of the story simply justifies her actions instead of showing an actual ethical moral resolve.... which will surely make the audience cringe.

Character B) The "dad"
The dad is shown as (one of) the antagonist of this story. His character is flat and his whole backstory is narrated just like every other character in this movie (this is a movie sin btw). The dad is said to act like a child for some reason, reason being that he's rich enough to do this....? This is the biggest plot hole in this movie. The couple met during college and the dad became ultra successful off of a contract deal (I believe in the business of property if I'm not mistaken) and he has enough money to buy a house, buy himself a classic car (which at the time of the movie's released would've been a 50-100K classic just from looking at the paintjob and detailed interior), and he decides to basically retire? From my interpretation of the movie, a man of this calibre is either going to retire early on due to him being RICH ENOUGH TO NOT NEED A DIME THE REST OF HIS LIFE or somehow he suffered some sort of block (either physical or mental) from his work, causing him to not want to work. So either the family is well off and the mom doesn't ever need to work OR the family isn't well off and the mom should tell the dad to work. Since in the movie, it was never mentioned that the dad should work, I'm sad to say that seems as though the mom busts her ass for no reason, intensifying the fact that she's the worst tragic hero I've ever ***ing seen! All in all, this was the worst portrayed character since he didn't seem to have a reason to act like a child and it seems as though the writers wrote him as ass clown.
