But certainly not to this degree.

All of thetsktsking has reached peak levels of judginess.

On its surface,Bad Momsis just Hollywoods latest raunchy comedy about grown-ups behaving badly, likeBad TeacherandBad Santa.

But the biggest surprise about the film is how much deeper it goes than that surface.

Its one of the funniest movies of the yearand one of the most necessary.

Amy seems to have it all together, but in truth, shes stressed to the snapping point.

Pushed to the limit, Amy basically decides to stop taking crap and put herself first for once.

And she declares war on Applegates Gwendolyn and her condescending sidekicks (Jada Pinkett-Smith and Annie Mumulo).

Granted, that liberatingly feminist comedy set-up goes back at least as far as9 to 5if not farther.

Hahn, who unleashes outrageous arias of four-letter poetry every time she opens her mouth, is a revelation.

The ones whod like to bring store-bought doughnut holes to the school bake sale without being judged by Gwyneth.

The ones who cant afford housekeepers or nannies.
