Everyone thinks that Amy (Mila Kunis) has a happy married life - a loving husband, a well-behaved child, and a good living condition, but only Amy herself knows that in order to maintain this seemingly glamorous appearance, her heart has been exhausted.
Her husband dumped all the chores on her head, and while dealing with these chores, Amy had to deal with them to curry favor with the other moms around her.
Finally, one day, Amy can't stand her life anymore, she leaves the family, abandons her husband and children, and takes her girlfriends Kiki (Kristen Bell) and Carla (Kathleen Hahn Kathryn hahn), two housewives who are also squeezed by the madness of life, and the three embark on a crazy road.
All three mothers have given all their efforts for their children, wronged themselves to complete their children, not only did not get the expected thanks, but gained contempt and resentment, Amy because of her husband's cheating first broke out, the two sisters who felt empathy embarked on the road of rebellion together, the child's homework was not helped, the meal was not done, skipping class to go to the sauna, drinking all night crazy, and the class did not go to school.
Although it was temporarily hit, the children left, the old squid was fired, but instead developed the habit of independence of the children, learned to do their own homework, get their own food, the boss finally realized that once the employees who had been doing things silently for six years left the impact on the company's business, life was back on track, more healthy development, the depression of housewives in the film was very natural, and the outbreak of the crowd at the election meeting seemed justified.
What kind of creature is the mother, a superwoman who has explosive combat power and never gives up!
When people talk about their mothers, they think they are strong living spokespeople!
Even if it can't be indestructible, at least it can't be easily shedding tears!
Keeping life in order seems to be a matter of course,
But a lot of people overlook,
In addition to being mothers, they are just ordinary, ordinary, ordinary.
Need to be cared for, need to be cared for,
Occasionally sentimental, occasionally also need free, ordinary, people!
In the face of children's puberty and strange tempers, they are also being mothers for the first time!
In the matter of trying to be a good mother all the time, they have really tried their best,
But a good mother with no dead ends in 360 degrees, this is something that no one can really do!
She may be a good mother, but not a good employee!
Maybe you can be a good employee, but not a good wife!
We work hard, even though our children are not perfect, we can even say that there is no pride, but we love our children very much, are willing to do anything for them, feel that they are gifts to ourselves, this is the greatness of mothers, isn't it? The reason why "Bad Mother" can become a box office dark horse is definitely not only because of the comedy factors that make people laugh, but also because of the deep concern about the "mother group" and an empathetic interpretation!
The whole movie is very relaxed and joyful, the laughter is continuous, although the theme is slightly clichéd "no one is perfect", but this movie has always been emphasized from the perspective of a mother who needs to "selflessly dedicate" to the family, to illustrate that "no mother is perfect, mothers will make mistakes, they will feel tired, and there will be vulnerable moments" Many people like to define women as wives and mothers, but they will not think of any gender, first of all, this is a "person", there are joys and sorrows, and it is not perfect.
The whole movie can sum up two very important points 1: a person, first love himself, and then be able to love his family 2: If a marriage is no longer suitable for you, do not try to save the relationship that has died, divorce will be the best choice.
