Alien at the Movies

First there was "Bad Santa", "Bad Teacher", & "Bad Grandpa" and now here is "Bad Moms". If you have seen any of the first 3, it shouldn't be hard to figure out what to expect in this "R" rated romp where the girls get to be as raunchy as the guys have been on screen. This is kind of a "Mean Girls" version of the PTA queen bee & her wanna-bees versus those moms who desperately want to try to keep up but can't or won't. The comedy cast of funny ladies includes Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Christina Applegate, Jada Pinkett Smith, & Kathryn Hahn. This hilarious tribute to overworked under appreciated moms struggling to fit the ideal stereotype mom will probably be funnier to females because guys haven't walked in the same high heels. Although it's fun to see the women play this "being bad" game for a change, it still gets predictably repetitive after a while. This should be a great girls night out flick where the ladies can just cut loose & laugh a lot about I did that, I wish I could do that, or I can't do that. When the credits roll, look for a clip with the mom stars & their real moms discussing motherhood.

Alien gives it 2 ½ "being bad was never so good" stars out of 4.
