Bad Moms Movie Review

Published by

on


Bad Moms is the latest comedy in theaters and I probably don’t need to tell you who the stars are in it as you can read the poster above.

The lead, played by Kunis, is a mother of two who struggles to keep up with all the demands of her professional and domestic responsibilities.

The Kunis character decides to make some changes to her life after discovering that her husband is cheating on her.

She stops being a “perfect mom” who does her children’s homework and brings food to the bake sale and becomes a “bad mom” who takes time to relax with her friends and starts giving her children the onerous responsibility of cooking their own breakfast.

The central conflict in the movie is between Kunis’s character and Applegate’s. Applegate plays the head of the PTA at the local school.

When Kunis quits the PTA Applegate vows revenge and starts a petty “war,” abusing her position to hurt Kunis and her family.

Kunis decides to run for PTA president in response, to take away Applegate’s power.

The movie isn’t so much about being a “Bad Mom” as I think I facetiously pointed out, but about being a bad PTA member (most of whom are mothers in the movie).

Plot ensues along with lots of good jokes and physical humor coming from everyone on the cast. The trailer does not have the only jokes in the movie like some other comedies I’ve seen, plenty of content that will make you laugh.

Bad Moms didn’t leave me in tears or have me questioning everything I thought I knew about parenting, but it did make me laugh a lot. What more can you ask from a comedy?

If you liked Kunis’s other comedies or you liked Pitch Perfect then you will probably really like this movie.

Additionally there is a part at the start of the credits where all the main cast members are interviewed along with their mothers. It was a adorable, sweet addition to the movie and a nice look into the childhoods of a  few celebrities that I might not’ve cared about otherwise.

If you want to laugh at some funny women, go see Bad Moms. It’s pretty momilicious (Is that a stretch? We’ll go with it.).

Hello,

I’m Isaac

Welcome to the GoCorral website! I’m Isaac Shaker and this is a place for me to write about D&D and occasionally other topics. I host a podcast called Setting the Stage that interviews different DMs about their campaigns. I’m currently focused on completing the Cimmeria campaign setting and turning it into a book.

Setting the Stage Podcast

71 – Aaron Ryan and Dissonance/The End – Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

I talked with Aaron Ryan about two of his book series, Dissonance and The End.Dissonance is a near future world where aliens have attacked, killing most humans and animals on Earth and driving humans into hiding underground. Humans finally develop technology to fight back and the war enters a new stage while the characters also struggle to determine the motivation for the alien invasion and nefarious actions of the government.The End is a Christian End Time series based loosely on the events described in Revelations. A man calling himself Nero has risen to rule over the world and he has outlawed Christianity. Robots called Guardians hunt Christians throughout the world, murdering them on the spot if they don't recant their faith. A resistance movement works in the shadows against Nero, but things aren't looking good for them.We talked about the basics of those settings along with how they could be adapted for RPG campaign settings. My main recommendations were Ashes Without Number, Spire, and Blades in the Dark.If you're interested in reading Aaron's books you can find them at most any bookstore or library. Both of the series are also being adapted into movies, but aren't publicly available yet. Aaron's website is https://authoraaronryan.com/ for the latest updates on his work. Next up for Aaron is the Talisman series that covers events within the "Aaronverse" in the decades between Dissonance and The End.Our website: https://gocorral.com/stsWant to be on the show?
