The writer reviews "Bad Moms" (2016), a comedy about a mother navigating work, parenthood, and personal life after discovering her husband's affair. She praises its humor, relatable characters, and portrayal of the pressures on mothers.

While I own “Bad Moms” (2016) on Blu-Ray, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before. I’ve seen the sequel, which I will be watching next, because a friend dragged me to see it in theaters, I’d had no prior interest; 6 years later, I figured, why not. I don’t remember anything about the sequel other than it being a Christmas movie, so it will be interesting to see if I like these films or if I’m…

Would you please put some pants on? I feel weird having to ask you twice.

If you took 2013′s Her, gave it a lobotomy and then caught it on its worst day, then you’d have Jexi. This AI rom-com is devoid of laughs, imagination, and of anything that could ever make it appeal to anyone.

Phil (Adam DeVine) aspires to be a journalist but works at a loser job, has no friends and spends every instant indoors, glued to his phone. When he bumps into bike shop owner Cate (Alexandra Shipp) and breaks his phone in the process, he buys a new one. Too late, he discovers it comes with an unexpected feature: an artificial intelligence named Jexi (voiced by Rose Byrne) determined to improve his life… no matter the cost.

I only laughed once during the entire running time and I guarantee the scene won’t be funny to anyone else. After correctly recognizing how awful Phil’s job is, Jexi sends an offensive message to his boss, Kai (Michael Peña). Jexi demands a promotion and calls Kai a virgin in the same sentence. Outraged, the man explains he likes waking up and going to the cinema alone. Hearing those words, I looked around me. I was the only sucker in the theater so I laugh. In a desert, even a thimble of water feels like heaven.

I bet you could re-create every line of this film's script without having seen Jexi. So what if Phil has no prospects or charisma even with Jexi playing the role of Cyrano, and has NOTHING in common with Cate? She finds him cute, cute enough to overlook all his flaws even as he constantly makes moves that would have any woman with a brain running away. The instant Phil and Cate hit it off, you know exactly how Jexi will react. Well, for the most part. After a while, the movie loses interest in following-up on its own plot. Things just happen without consequence and theoretically, you’d be laughing hard enough to not notice how stupid it is… but you’re not laughing.

Amplifying your growing frustration are the actors who should know better. Michael Peña? I know you’ve gotta eat but come on. His character exists in a realm with no ties to reality. At every opportunity, he does a funny dance - even during the end credits. I know Wanda Sykes hasn’t really done a good movie in… a long time.... but you could've done a commercial or something. And Kid Cudi plays himself? Give me a break.

Jexi made me leave the theater a little excited. Movies this bad don't often come to theaters and normally I’ve mentally prepared myself with a bunch of bad-looking trailers. I went in cold this time and thought I’d have loads to say about how little the plot makes sense or how painfully predictable and unimaginative it is. At my keyboard now, I realize my enthusiasm wasn’t because I had a lot to say, but because I was finally out of there. (Theatrical version on the big screen, October 23, 2019)
