It’s a mom’s world

Ervell E Menezes

“Bad Moms” is packed with clichés, lacks credibility but at least engages the viewer most of the time.

It is centered on Amy Mitchell (Mila Kunis), who seems to have a perfect life - great marriage, bright kids and a beautiful home. But she’s overworked.

So she joins forces with two overstressed moms - single-mom Carla (Kathryn Hahn) and Kiki (Kristen Bell). Pitted against her is PTA Queen Bee Gwendolyn (Christina Applegate). She gets her daughter out of the football team and is a constant thorn in her side. Meanwhile, Amy breaks off with her husband Mike (David Walton) over remote control sex and with her two buddies looks for greener pastures.

Directors Jon Lucas and Scott Moore have much on their plate, but the best part of the movie is the witty script. The movie leaves the viewer somewhat happy, however implausible the proceedings might have been.
