Review of Bad Moms (2016) by L M — 29 Sep 2016

This was such a disappointment. A movie about the struggle of motherhood in 2016 should be hilarious, but nothing came together in Bad Moms. I wonder if anyone thought to consult an actual mother anywhere in the process of making this movie.

Every scene fell flat, and nothing was fully developed. It was like a string of scenes cut together with no real development. It could have been so great, but it missed the mark in my book. Bummed. I was rooting for a hit, but this was a big miss.

Motherhood is funny without trying so hard to make it so. Sometimes less is more. The whole film felt hyperbolic, over-the-top, and unbelievable.
