WOW. Someone took this WAY too personally. Hit home, did it? Lemme guess. You are the Christina Applegate character? Surprise! Everyone had you pegged, long before the movie. They are just nice to your face to stay off your extremely distorted radar.

+1

You definitely will be able to easily ascribe a person IRL to each character. Hilarious!

It's much more about the pressure women put on themselves instead of a "kids suck" message, but the woman that can't see the appeal might as well stay home.

So you haven't even seen the movie? You've just decided that this is what it's about?


Is it really hard to infer what it's about from the previews?


Apparently!

This movie wasn't about kids being infuriating, quite the opposite actually. The moms discuss their absolute love for their children and how they're always trying their hardest to do the best for their kids.


I didn't say this movie specifically was about infuriating kids, just the the "mom version" of things tend to be. Like "The mom version of Let It Go" and "the mom version of Shake It Off." The theme is usually "my kids are being a pain in the ass."

We saw it this afternoon and it was mostly couples in the theater. DH enjoyed it a lot, too.

Me too, sister.
I could totally see my husband flaking off like this, and then just giving up on life.
