I wasn't expecting some sort of deep, philosophical dive into motherhood from this film. I was simply expecting to laugh maybe once.

It has no substance; it doesn't say anything.

| Original Score: C | Mar 21, 2017

A little more vinegar... and Bad Moms could have been a genuinely subversive comedy, rather than just a sweetly funny one.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 29, 2016

Mostly, Bad Moms is remarkably astute about the pressures and neuroses of modern parenting.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 29, 2016

With its bland blasts of chart pop, it's less riot-grrrl provocation than sporadically rowdy coffee morning.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 25, 2016

Bad Moms is an entertaining, girls-mainly comedy about the problems of parenting.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 12, 2016

Bad Moms knew the story it wanted to tell, and it's a worthy story, but it just wasn't any good at telling it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 11, 2016

Kunis is stranded with a character who is so poorly written.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 9, 2016

The movie plays like Mean Girls with a big dollop of middle-aged wish fulfillment.

| Aug 4, 2016

Bad Moms is a little satirical, a little ironic, a tiny bit feminist and mostly like a high school chick flick set around mothers of two.

Although all these actors prove the shrewd casting choices of Bad Moms, it is Hahn who makes this unassuming summer blockbuster something close to stellar.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 29, 2016

Hahn hijacks the film and makes it her showcase. She's rude and crude in a physical, full-body performance, and half her lines seem improvised, because she spits them out like a spray of machine gun bullets.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 29, 2016

It's a movie with a subversive skepticism about traditional white picket fence domesticity in general.

| Jul 29, 2016

A female-driven story that doesn't shy away from bad behavior while also touting the importance of familial bonds and solid parenting choices.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 29, 2016

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 29, 2016

Bright and fast and absurd and sloppy, a flick that lives - or dies - by how much you dig watching Bell wear a pink hoodie and pretend to be an uncircumcised penis. (Answer: a lot.)

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 29, 2016

Mildly amusing, moderately raunchy, mostly schematic ...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 29, 2016

There is a lot to be said about parenting, impossible standards, and judgey people. But that requires actually saying something, not just pointing it out.

| Original Score: C | Jul 28, 2016

You see, they couldn't just make a dumb comedy about suburban moms cutting loose - they somehow thought themselves capable of crafting a faux-inspirational story of motherly affirmation.

| Jul 28, 2016

Though it doesn't quite do for mothers what Bridesmaids did for single women, Bad Moms is a riotous comedy that left my theater echoing with shrieks, snorts and cackles.

| Original Score: B | Jul 28, 2016
