In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Bad Moms delivers plenty of anti-traditional humor and makes a point of flipping suburban mom life on its head, but it does so with enough self-awareness and comedic intent to fall short of maximum wokeness.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Bad Moms leans into the trope of overburdened women rebelling against societal expectations, but most characters have distinct personalities and flaws. The comedy does showcase its leads' gender struggles as the central theme, but identity isn't hammered home as hard as in more recent films.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film lampoons traditional family and mom roles, portraying male characters (especially husbands) as clueless or incompetent. Masculinity isn’t outright demonized, but it does take a back seat, and religious or traditional values get short shrift. Still, satire is prioritized over direct cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There's a strong sense of solidarity among the 'bad moms,' but dissenting or traditional takes are mostly played for laughs rather than vilified. Some alternative perspectives appear, though the tone certainly favors rebellion against norms.
