Bad Moms (2016)

This film might be dubbed a comedy, though I didn't find it that funny, but it is important.
Amy Mitchell (a great Mila Kunis) is an overworked, working mom. Both her husband, Mike (David Walton) and younger boss, Dale (Clark Duke) take horrible advantage of her. And she struggles to be perfect and it is all for nothing. Her husband is masturbating with some other woman online, but they got married so young, and their marriage has been having trouble for years. But she finally loses it at another endless PTA meeting run by Gwendolyn James (Christina Applegate), insisting that a bake sale be dairy, nut, egg, sugar and flour free. What is left after all that? Amy is sick of expecting to be perfect.
She goes to a bar afterwards and runs into single, horny mom, Carla (Kathryn Hahn) who is almost universally hated by the moms at school because she flirts shamelessly with their husbands. Kiki (Kristen Bell) a harried stay-at-mom joins them. Kiki is the most underdeveloped character in the film, her husband isn't understanding of what she does and considers her being at home with the kids as her job.
Now that Amy is on Gwendolyn's bad side, Gwendolyn doesn't take it out on Amy, but instead on Amy's over-involved daughter, Jane (Oona Laurence, great), by kicking her off the soccer team and putting marijuana cigarettes in her locker. So this fight is personal.
Everything works out in the end. Amy finally loosens up, though it isn't easy. She finally admits that she doesn't love Mike anymore and has sex for the first time in five years, with the hot widowed father, Jesse (Jay Hernandez). She wins the PTA presidency by urging mothers that it is okay if they aren't perfect as long as no one judges anyone else for their actions. It sends a powerful message in a world where anything other than perfect is unacceptable. But as long as your children are nice, you are doing something right. And while Amy's children are flawed and probably pretty entitled, they are nice and are given compliments as such.
The film is overall solid, with good performances from every nook and cranny of the characters which cannot be overlooked. And some genuine issues are brought up. However, not all of them are solved but enough of them are to make this film worth while. Grade: B+
