Review of Bad Moms (2016) by Midnightbroken — 01 Aug 2016

If you already loathe men, this film will do anything and everything to reinforce that idea. "Bad Moms" is so categorically misandrist as to be painful to watch. It is utterly dismissive of the male role in the family unit, to such an extent that calling it dismissive fails to capture how irrelevant the writers consider men in the lives of the moms and children portrayed.

The film endeavors to suggest that female empowerment in the family unit can only be accomplished through emasculation and dismissal of the male. It goes on to portray abandonment of responsibility, substance abuse and casual sex as the only viable pathway to happiness and personal fulfillment for moms suffering from a lack of support at home.

To call the plot of this movie far-fetched just wildly understates the level of abandonment of credulity that this work required.
