A woman with a seemingly perfect life - a great marriage, overachieving kids, beautiful home, stunning looks and still holding down a career. However she's over-worked, over committed and exhausted to the point that she's about to snap. Fed up, she joins forces with two other over-stressed moms and all go on a quest to liberate themselves from conventional responsibilities, going on a wild un-mom like binge of freedom, fun and self-indulgence - putting them on a collision course with PTA Queen Bee Gwendolyn and her clique of devoted perfect moms.

"Bad Moms sometimes falters when attempts at mushy sentimentality are made. That being said, as a buddy flick, it delivers the goods, with a good amount of laugh-out-loud moments too."

"Parenting is indeed a difficult task, and the trouble is that making a film about something so complicated will always have these challenges. It calls for a deeper introspection and understanding of the persona of a mother, and not top of the mind exaggeration of clichéd jokes and situations."

5.0
"The sight gags are funny enough, the writing though is pretty much pedestrian and the exaggerations are obviously not intended to be mean or hurtful to either sex. So just take it in like it is (mindless entertainer)…if you care!"

"You're not going to want to leave the theatre with a sudden desire to be grateful for all your mother has done for you. Instead, you'll never want to have children, perhaps forgo marriage altogether and live a life of singledom. Oh, and resolve to watch better films."

"Mothers from middle class families are the perfect and only target audience for this film. For everyone else there's a better bad movie called Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot!"

"Besides the innumerable sexual references (beeped out profanities and mentions of male and female genitalia), boozing and a smattering of laughs, the film doesn't push the envelope far enough. No matter how often the moms tell you their children are a joy and how much they love them, they seem to love cheap Chardonnay and single hot Hispanic men more."

"Though the story may not be the best one you have come across, the characters are quite relatable. It also shows you the essence of true friendship and what it means to be a mother."
