MOVIE: Bad Moms
NUTSHELL: A perfectly serviceable movie in which moms get annoyed and dance while they drink some wine.
GOOD THINGS: Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn, Wanda Sykes, David Walton, Clark Duke!!! and Wendell Pierce
BAD THINGS: I am not in what I would posit is the very narrow, and possibly imaginary, demographic for this movie.
FEATURES: Mila Kunis, Jay Hernandez, Christina Applegate, Jada Pinkett Smith, Annie Mumolo, a lot of white wine, unsympathetic children, porn addiction
UNCOMFORTABLE MOMENTS: I wish there were more uncomfortable moments. Other than the Clark Duke scenes and an inspired supermarket montage, there don’t seem to be any stakes.
NOTABLE: I don’t think having children should be a requirement to enjoy a movie.
BEST PART: Kathryn Hahn oh how I loved you on “Philly Justice”!
BEST LINE: “Well, as a therapist, I’m not allowed to tell you what do to, but uh as a human being with two fucking eyes in my head, yea I think you should get divorced as soon as possible. This is some catastrophic shit. ”
CROWNS: 2 out of 5
