I dragged myself with mild trepidation and anticipated ennui to “Bad Moms,” the latest in a string of movies featuring the word “Bad” in the title. The title displeaseth me—so generic—like, say, the Shop Rite brand of waffle mix as opposed to Aunt Jemima. Jemima clearly being the superior product.

Never judge a movie by its title. “Bad Moms” is laugh-till-you-cry hilarious. I can’t remember the last time a movie had this much funny going on.

Who can raise kids properly nowadays? It's impossible!
