WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Young mother Amy (Kunis) has a great marriage with overachieving kids while still holding down a strong career as well as her youthful looks – however, she constantly finds herself overworked, with barely any time for herself, and is on the verge of snapping. When that moment finally comes, she and two other exhausted mothers (Bell and Hahn) go on a wild crusade to liberate themselves from what is expected of them, putting them up against Queen Bee mother Gwendolyn (Applegate) and her army of devoted mothers…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

We all love our mothers, but for anyone that feels they should be given some time to let loose and party hard then Bad Moms, from the writers of The Hangover, is absolutely worth your time.
