They did The Hangover and some of this is similarly gross, but it's quite refreshing in the difficulties of being a mum and the pressures emanating from school, work and families. Mila Kunis, Kathryn Hahn, Kristen Bell, Christina Applegate, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Annie Mumolo, David Walton (New Girl, TV's About a Boy), Clark Duke.
Liked this interchange between mother and son (Emjay Anthony):
Mum: You're going to actually start doing your own homework from now on.
Dylan: I'm a slow learner, remember?
Mum: You're not a slow learner. You're just entitled. Do you even know what entitled means?
Dylan: No - because I'm a slow learner.
Mum: It means that mummy and daddy have been spoiling you, and now you think the world owes you something, but it doesn't. And if you don't learn how to work hard now, then you're just going to grown up and becomes another entitled white dude who thinks he's awesome for no reason. And then you'll start a ska band, and it'll be awful, you'll be me too girls, and you'll grow this ironic moustache to look interesting but you won't actually be interesting, and I'm not OK with that. So can you please, please, just do your own homework.
It was edited by Emma Hickox and James Thomas (Borat films, Grimsby, Hot Tub Time Machine), and the two had to fight with the writer-directors to create that opening montage scene which explains how tough Mila's life actually is (and thereby resolving the reaction of the preview audience who found her too 'perfect').
