It might sound obvious, but make no mistake, this is a film for mums.
Starring Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn and Christina Applegate as varying degrees of 'bad' mums, this is a funny look at the day-to-day frustrations of motherhood, including a pretty terrifying look at school politics for parents.
I know it's just fiction but if this is in any way an accurate reflection of what motherhood is like, I'm patting myself on the back for not having had any kids! (Revelation for me - kids (American ones, at least) who are 10-14ish aren't making their own breakfast these days. WTF?!)
I didn't love this film. It wasn't dreadful, it just wasn't made for me. Like I said, it was made for mums. So I asked a friend, who is a mum of three and saw it with nine other school mums on opening night (#keen), what she thought of it and she said "LOVED it! So funny!" and apparently the big group all agreed and had lots of laughs.
Credit where it's due - there was a couple of slapstick-style montages that had me in stitches.
Here's a 2.5 star review from Leigh Paatsch in News Ltd which I agree with. BUT I beg of you - ignore what he says about the Ab Fab movie in there, he's got that totally wrong!
Trailer here. In cinemas now.
