Why so much hype?

Excellent, a Must See

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It had its funny scenes but it ended up just being another 'girl power' movie with a completely unrealistic storyline. Sadly, it's just another example of what Hollywood thinks real life is....and it ain't. Don't feel bad if you skip bad moms.

This movie is bad on just about every level: concept, acting, writing, consistency. It's supposed to show how tough life is for moms these days but can't decide i it wants to be a raunch-fest, a family thing, or have a moral. A single mom (whose husband is a boob), a stay-at-home mom (whose husband is a tyrant), and a sex-crazed skank mom (no hubby) get together and - what exactly?They decide unfunny Mila Kunis needs to get laid so they transform her and go bar-hopping where one after another hot guy disconnects until hot single Latin father and she connect for the most chaste sex scene on film. (The real problem with female raunch films is that they don't want to get naked. Shades of 'Sarah Marshall', also with Bell and Kunis and also unfunny.) Hann is wholly unlikeable; a male character with the same characteristics would be decried. Think Rob Corrddry. Kunis gets fired, she can't reconcile with her ex-, her kids have problems - but she faces them all with the same bland non-angst.There's the evil PTA that somehow runs the school with the "perfect" moms as counterpoint which is so over the top that it's parody. What, no working moms have it together, or have good husbands? The manifesto speech at the end undercuts everything but of course the bond of momhood trumps all and they all fly off in a private jet. (What about the kids? Oh, moms gotta be moms).Save your money and your time.

I found that movie easy and funny, though it was kind of sexist. If you rely on that movie to create your own picture on how a family works, you could eventually reach to the idea that in a regular family only the wife is really working hard, while the husband is spending 10 months on online dating/jerking, and/or walking around the cafeterias during the day, just to find his wife chatting with her friends in order to humiliate her as she is not with her kids as she 'should be'. It turns out that only the moms are really caring about what's going on at school. There is only one father and he is a widow - duh how convenient. Otherwise, he should be divorced, but still cool. How this can be possible if his wife is not cheating or he is not a jerk? No, he is cool and she has just passed away, keeping the ideal for the working mom, now he need to replace her, which is not an easy task. Anyway, if you like Mila Kunis or want a nice, sweet comedy, this could be a good option.

The characters are unrealistic. The interactions between the characters are not to be believed. The jokes are horrible. Also, a very mean spirited movie. There is nothing redeeming whatsoever about this movie. I was surprised this "movie" had a budget of $20M. I could see $1,000,000, but not $20,000,000. Finally, this won awards? I could see Razzie awards, but not "real" ones.
