If you're willing to dive deep into the dark side of parenthood, this is the film for you.

Name : Dana Stevens / Alias : Slate
The dad minds behind Bad Moms don't seem to understand, or be terribly curious about, the minds of mothers .

Name : Adam Graham / Alias : Detroit News
Hahn hijacks the film and makes it her showcase. She's rude and crude in a physical, full-body performance, and half her lines seem improvised, because she spits them out like a spray of machine gun bullets.

Name : Mara Reinstein / Alias : Us Weekly
The raunchy comedy is the equivalent of drinking a poolside margarita while the kids are at camp. It's a load of empty calories - but, boy, does it go down easy.

Name : Liz Braun / Alias : Toronto Sun
Bad Moms is full of bad language and worse behaviour, but bottom line, it's a valentine to moms everywhere. Despite what you've been seeing all summer on the big screen, real superheroes wear aprons, not capes.

Name : Stephen Whitty / Alias : Newark Star-Ledger
If only these "Bad Moms" were a little worse, their movie would be a hell of a lot better.

Name : Manohla Dargis / Alias : New York Times
What makes "Bad Moms" funny (aside from its lineup of gifted performers) isn't that Amy and her friends go wild; they don't, not even close. It's the women's shared, near-orgiastic pleasure in their freedom and friendship.

Name : Julia Cooper / Alias : Globe and Mail
Although all these actors prove the shrewd casting choices of Bad Moms, it is Hahn who makes this unassuming summer blockbuster something close to stellar.

Name : Peter Travers / Alias : Rolling Stone
The movie cops out by going soft in the end, but it's still hardcore hilarity for stressed moms looking for a girls night out.

Name : Sonia Rao / Alias : Boston Globe
Living up to to the low expectations set by its title, "Bad Moms" does little to surpass them.

Name : Amy Nicholson / Alias : MTV
Bright and fast and absurd and sloppy, a flick that lives - or dies - by how much you dig watching Bell wear a pink hoodie and pretend to be an uncircumcised penis. (Answer: a lot.)

Name : Chris Nashawaty / Alias : Entertainment Weekly
Beneath all of its hard-R partying, rebellious debauchery, and profanity, it taps into something very real and insidious in the zeitgeist. It's one of the funniest movies of the year-and one of the most necessary.

Name : Jody Mitori / Alias : St. Louis Post-Dispatch
For a summer escape, skip the book club this month and take your friends to the movies instead.

Name : Rafer Guzman / Alias : Newsday
"The Hangover" for working mothers, only funnier, smarter and sweeter.

Name : Christy Lemire / Alias : RogerEbert.com
Even when things soften and turn sweet toward the end-including an unexpectedly emotional segment during the closing credits that I will not spoil for you-Bad Moms retains an appealing wrongness.

Name : Kara Nesvig / Alias : Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Bad Moms" was written and directed by men, and you can totally tell that they tried really hard to write a movie that women would enjoy and identify with. Emphasis on tried.

Name : Mark Olsen / Alias : Los Angeles Times
Like husbands who think that carrying in the groceries is really pitching in, Lucas and Moore have their hearts in the right place, but their efforts have little real insight or impact.

Name : Steven Rea / Alias : Philadelphia Inquirer
Mildly amusing, moderately raunchy, mostly schematic .

Name : Jesse Hassenger / Alias : AV Club
It sells its characters' struggle short by shuffling their kids off screen whenever it's convenient, and not even in the name of comical neglect; there always seems to be time and money to get a sitter.

Name : Michael Phillips / Alias : Chicago Tribune
"Bad Moms" keeps settling for less than it should, given the talent on screen.

Name : Kyle Smith / Alias : New York Post
A good-natured girl-power comedy that balances a bland sitcom structure with some weird and hilarious moments.

Name : J. R. Jones / Alias : Chicago Reader
The movie plays like Mean Girls with a big dollop of middle-aged wish fulfillment.

Name : Moira MacDonald / Alias : Seattle Times
Despite its name, this is a fluffy cupcake of a movie - and sometimes, a cupcake is just what you want.

Name : Stephanie Merry / Alias : Washington Post
For a movie that traffics in the messiness of life, "Bad Moms" wraps up a little too tidily. Then again, maybe a happy ending is just what an audience full of exhausted moms deserves.

Name : Owen Gleiberman / Alias : Variety
The laughter this movie offers could provide cathartic medicine for the middle-class mom blues.

Name : Barbara VanDenburgh / Alias : Arizona Republic
Beneath that patina of penis jokes and four-letter words beats a weak and sentimental heart that fails to deliver the film's promise of raucous fun, instead wasting a talented cast of comediennes on cliche platitudes on motherhood.

Name : Lindsey Bahr / Alias : Associated Press
Bad Moms had so many opportunities to be great, edgy and insightful, but instead settles for the most milquetoast commentary possible on modern motherhood.

Name : Mick LaSalle / Alias : San Francisco Chronicle
The women are game, at least. Kunis, Hahn and Kristen Bell form the movie's trio, and pry two or three laughs out of the script, but that amounts only to one each. They deserve better, and so do you.

Name : Alison Willmore / Alias : BuzzFeed News
It's a movie with a subversive skepticism about traditional white picket fence domesticity in general.

Name : Alonso Duralde / Alias : TheWrap
The plot kicks into high gear - and into mature-audiences-only levels of bawdy brazenness rarely seen in Hollywood movies centered on women's lives - when Kunis hits that legendary last nerve about which mothers everywhere have always warned us.

Name : Katie Walsh / Alias : Tribune News Service
"Bad Moms" makes a compelling argument for embracing imperfection and vulnerability, but we shouldn't have to accept that kind of messiness in our movies.

Name : Raakhee Mirchandani / Alias : New York Daily News

Name : Richard Roeper / Alias : Chicago Sun-Times
Something tells me a lot of good moms will find some real truths contained within the bawdy antics of Bad Moms.

Name : Kate Erbland / Alias : indieWIRE
