Rating: 8 out of 10, This movie was
absolutely hilarious. Three suburban moms decide to forego their expected
PTA-centric roles and enjoy life. This is superimposed upon society’s
expectations while affirming how moms feel about their children on a
fundamental level. My wife did not stop laughing for the entire length of the
movie. The whole female audience was in tune with the jokes/sentiments and
though I felt like an outsider the laughter was infectious. It was turnabout
fair play as the only males in the cast were either stupid or used as sex
objects. This follows a pleasing stretch of R-rated female comedies that
dominate. Speaking of dominating Kathryn Hahn owns every scene she’s in and
should be charged with grand theft by the other actors; she’s the best thing
about the movie which is already one of my favorite movies of the year. It
definitely earned the R-rating though, so don’t bring the kids. You wouldn’t
want to share mom tradecraft secrets with them anyways.
MVP: Kathryn Hahn as Carla the over
the top sexpot
