Critics Consensus: Bad Moms boasts a terrific cast and a welcome twist on domestic comedy -- and they're often enough to compensate for the movie's unfortunate inability to take full advantage of its assets.

The movie plays like Mean Girls with a big dollop of middle-aged wish fulfillment.
Although all these actors prove the shrewd casting choices of Bad Moms, it is Hahn who makes this unassuming summer blockbuster something close to stellar.
Hahn hijacks the film and makes it her showcase. She's rude and crude in a physical, full-body performance, and half her lines seem improvised, because she spits them out like a spray of machine gun bullets.
It's a movie with a subversive skepticism about traditional white picket fence domesticity in general.
A female-driven story that doesn't shy away from bad behavior while also touting the importance of familial bonds and solid parenting choices.
The movie cops out by going soft in the end, but it's still hardcore hilarity for stressed moms looking for a girls night out.
It has been a really long time since the laughter in the theater was so loud that I couldn't hear the next line. Kunis delivered so well...
There are some good gags and the female leads are engaging, but it could have been a whole lot more. Watch it with your expectations as low as if your kids were invited to a playdate at my house.
Bad Moms is a lot of dumb fun with an incredibly game cast, led by the winning Kathryn Hahn. While it may not be as good as the 2003 cult classic comedy, Bad Santa, it is light years away from the 2011 comedic cesspool, Bad Teacher.
There's probably more scenes in slow motion in Bad Moms than in The Matrix.
"Bad Moms" is a film that isn't really written with moms in mind and takes the easy way out with a lot of the issues it attempts to tackle, even humorously.
Round up your girlfriends and have a night on the town. And you dads out there just might learn a thing or two!
Cute, funny, clichà (C) mom movie
Super Reviewer
Better than expected. I really thought it would be another crap fest like Sisters, but actually, despite not being a mom, I found plenty to laugh at here. Shame about the usual boozy party scene (so sick of those in a movie), but otherwise amusing and nice to see Christina Applegate in something.
Externally gaudy with crude gags and humor, internally heartfelt and utterly charming; Bad Moms is a surprisingly enjoyable film. The film's strong female cast, preposterous comedy and loveable tone makes for almost a 'guilty pleasure' that moms and audiences can happily watch countlessly. 4/5
A thoroughly enjoyable and highly amusing film! The characters blend together even though they shouldn't and create a hilarious dialogue!
