My biggest concern going into Bad Moms was with Mila Kunis (as Amy Mitchell) both as a mom and a comedic lead, truth be told though she's the best part about this movie. Bad Moms is funny and is defiantly going to be a favorite for any "Moms" on a girls night out (which seems to be the main audience from my experience). Bad Moms deserves the praise its getting but what holds it back for me is just some standard script problems. For a movie about a woman trying to become her best self, and seperate from societies expectations, the script really doesn't try too. Did this movie really need a villian to victimize Amy? Was a romance between Amy and the hot dad (in the midst of a divorce) essential to the plot? No, not at all. These elements were constructed simply to justify Amy's actions and to give the audience someone to root for and against. Funny? Yes. But a compelling story is absent under the promise of girl power the movie boast proudly of.
