scenario where the kids are over burdened with studies and extra activities
that are pushed upon them and the parents .

elections is for the audience to watch .
Performances : Mila Kunis as Amy has done a good job , there
are many hilarious moments played by her , Kathryn also has done a good job
with her hilarious one liners . Kristen Bell as Kiki has good performance
especially when she out of the blue lashes out on her husband .Christina as
Gweldolyn is very good .
It’s a very well directed movie . The movie is fast paced with
not a dull moment , there are many scenes that will make you laugh through out
. The movie connects with the audience as many of us in this modern world faces
all this , We women are over burdened with responsibilities and we forget about
ourselves , the kids are also over
stuffed with activities . All this needs to be changed .Its a rat race going on
which needs to be relaxed that what the moral of this movie is , its ok if we
are termed as bad moms as long as the kids are loved and they equally loves you
.
Final Words : It’s a must watch for all Men , women and kids
of this modern world .
