Bad Moms

Directed by Scott Moore1h 40m2016

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.

Our read: Bad Moms (2016) reads as a warm, kinetic, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, tender in temperature, redemptive in outlook.
