When three overworked and under-appreciated moms are pushed beyond their limits, they ditch their conventional responsibilities for a jolt of long overdue freedom, fun, and comedic self-indulgence.
What critics thought
Bad Moms lands somewhere between genuinely funny and frustratingly safe — critics agreed the cast is winning and the premise taps into real anxieties about modern motherhood, but the film consistently pulls its punches when it could have been sharper. The divide is over whether the raucous comedy is enough to paper over the toothless social commentary underneath.
“beneath all of its hard-R partying, rebellious debauchery, and profanity, it taps into something very real and insidious in the zeitgeist. It's one of the funniest movies of the year—and one of the most necessary.”
Chris Nashawaty·Entertainment Weekly
“the movie cops out by going soft in the end, but it's still hardcore hilarity for stressed moms looking for a girls night out”
Peter Travers·Rolling Stone
“Bad Moms had so many opportunities to be great, edgy and insightful, but instead settles for the most milquetoast commentary possible on modern motherhood.”
Lindsey Bahr·Associated Press
“sells its characters' struggle short by shuffling their kids off screen whenever it's convenient, and not even in the name of comical neglect; there always seems to be time and money to get a sitter.”
