Bad Moms

Bad Moms is currently streaming in Australia on Amazon Prime Video and Stan, and in the US on Peacock Premium and YouTube TV, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. With 4,280 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Mila Kunis sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Start it on Amazon Prime Video whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Bad Moms earns its spot. The jokes in Bad Moms land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. When three overworked and under-appreciated moms are pushed beyond their limits, they ditch their conventional responsibilities for a jolt of long overdue freedom, fun, and comedic self-indulgence. Between them, Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell carry the comedy without ever forcing it. Bad Moms came out in 2016. Bad Moms earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Bad Moms. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Mila Kunis sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
