NOKTA (DOT) (2008)

Watchable. Chaotic so badly it took me half a film to get a grasp on who's who and who's done what. At the same time remarkably well acted. A simple story showing the ambivalence of human nature.

BAD MOMS

Watchable. "Bad Moms" aren't bad. Great music (lots of songs including ones by DNCE, Foreigner, David Guetta, Flo Rida but also a piece by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart can be found at http://www.soundtrackmania.net/bad-moms-soundtrack.html), the whole film feels like a party (movied-move-it). Some of the songs are actually called "Shut Up and Dance", "Runnin' Wild", "City Rock" or "Let's Have a Party" and a few scenes are shot in a video clip mode. Humour, party-style, ranges from silly and vulgar ("dick" is probably the most often used noun here), "She threatened me she would bang my husband." being on the decent side, to quite funny like Amy's (Mila Kunis) kissing attempt. In fact the whole movie's in a jest - I was smiling throughout. That's a good thing as the story's about people who cannot quite cope with their parental responsibilities and whenever they mean good it turns out bad. The mum of two who watched the film together with me said being a mum was just like that minus getting drunk when you get fed up with your motherhood. I, in turn, left the cinema smug to be childless.
