Suicide Squad Rotten Tomatoes Trashes It! - IS IT RIGGED?
Overworked and unappreciated, Kirsten Bell, Mila Kunis, and Kathryn Hahn toss aside responsibility for some much-needed decadent R&R. But does that truly make themBad Moms? Because we know some real crappy movie moms out there. 24 to be exact.
Margaret White (Piper Laurie) in CarriePoor Carrie. Bullies and pig blood at school, knifey fundamentalist mom at home.
Helen Boucher (Kathy Bates) in The WaterboyWhile many a mama on this list are deranged or downright evil, Helen Boucher simply wants the best for her boy, drowning the boy in Southern-fried life platitudes and overprotection to the point of brain damage.
Kate McCallister (Catherine OHara) in Home AloneKate, we know being a WASP in the 90s was complicated stuff, but forgetting your son twice while on vacation? Come on. Another sequel, Home Alone: Kevin Wanders Into An AOL Chatroom Unsupervised, was left on the shelf.
Joan Crawford (Faye Dunaway) in Mommie DearestA maniacally over-the-top performance by Dunaway as fading icon Joan Crawford. Responsible for bringing down Big Wire Hanger lobby in D.C.
Beverly Sutphin (Kathleen Turner) in Serial MomIn her defense: She just wanted to keep order. Its crucial, after all, that fashion rules (no white after Labor Day!) are upheld, and pesky neighbors are dealt with accordingly (Mrs. Jensen deserved to be clubbed like a seal with that leg of lamb).
Pamela Voorhees (Betsy Palmer) in Friday the 13thHope were not spoiling a 36-year old classic for you, but Jason isnt even the killer in the first Friday: its his Cosby sweater-wearing momma who wants to exact revenge on all them h***y camp counselors.
The Wicked Stepmother (Cate Blanchett) in CinderellaThe iconic cruel stepmother of moviedom, most recently seen in Kenneth Branaghs live-action fairy tale adaptation.
Stiflers Mom (Jennifer Coolidge) in American PieWebcams, Blink-182, frosted hair tips navigating high school in the 90s was hard enough even without your class clowns mom attempting to vanquish your virginity.
Mama Fratelli (Anne Ramsey) in The GooniesEarly Steven Spielberg productions make much ado about lousy fathers, but heres one parental figure he suggests the kids would be better off if she just wasnt around at all.
Momma (Anne Ramsey) in Throw Momma From the TrainRamsey was the monstrous mom in the 80s, and her role here guaranteed she would haunt and harangue kids long after they graduated from watching Goonies.
Mrs. Wormwood (Rhea Perlman) in MatildaCarrie for the toddler set, this Roald Dahl adaptation features Perlman as a vapid, tacky mom more interested in game shows and nail polish than her daughters nascent ESP powers.
Lorraine Baines (Lea Thompson) in Back to the FutureOn the next Sally: Fate may have resigned you to a life of heavy drinking married to a dweeb, but is creating a time paradox by hooking up with your teenage son really the answer?
Elaine Robinson (Anne Bancroft) in The GraduateMrs. Robinson didnt just personify the cringe-inducing ideal of the sexually aggressive mom, she was the original cougar, hunting for prey her daughters age. She was sultry, mature, had some righteous lingerie and then refused to share her lover with her daughter.
Eleanor Isein (Angela Lansbury) in The Manchurian CandidateIts never a good thing when parents try to live out their ambitions through their children. Its especially uncool to use your kids as pawns in a plot to overthrow the government.
The Woman (Charlize Theron) in The RoadTherons character couldnt handle the post-apocalypse, disappearing into the night, leaving behind husband and son.
The Other Mother (Teri Hatcher) in CoralineIn Laikas stop-motion animated fantasy, neglected Coraline crawls into a parallel world where a new mother awaits, perfect except for insisting that she graft buttons in place of her eyes.
Mary (MoNique) in PreciousMoNique won an Oscar for her hellacious performance. We can only wonder how much more damage her Mary character wouldve done if that statue was lying around the house.
Monica (Frances OConnor) in A.I. Artificial IntelligenceWhen you leave your son in a dank wood to be picked up by a robot gigolo, youve failed as a parent.
Abbey (Nancy Hendrickson) in Mothers DayAbbey raised her two sons to believe that they need to impress her constantly with acts of kidnapping, rape, and murder. Anything for a wanton mothers love.
Mother (Mae Questel) in New York StoriesStereotypical Jewish mother? Nothing wrong with that. Sterotypical Jewish mother that haunts you from above the New York skyline? Nightmare fuel.
Charlotte (Kristen Wiig) in Diary of a Teenage GirlSingle mom in the 1970s got a boyfriend. Moms got a precocious 15-year old daughter on the verge of sexual awakening. Mom catches boyfriend and daughter in an affair, suggests the two should marry and make it official. How selfless. And who calls the 70s the me decade?
Debbie (Leslie Mann) in This Is 40Leslie Mann starred in this semi-autobiographical movie in her house with her own kids but with husband Judd Apatow replaced by Paul Rudd. What does it say to your kids that their father can be replaced by a rakishly handsome funnyman? What does it say to all of us?
The Queen in AliensOkay, technically a good mom for trying to propagate the species, in her unique acid-spitting parasitic way.
Norma Bates in PsychoPoor Norman Bates. All he wants to do is listen to Beethoven and devote time to taxidermy. And yet his mom nags him all the time into maintaining his failing motel. (Spoiler Alert!) No wonder business is slow; Mrs. Bates demands that Norman take a Ginsu to anyone foolish enough to stop by. (At least she taught him how to do housework, since the shower in room #1 is clean as a whistle.) A lot of moms are possessive of their children, but most are at least kind enough not to take up residence in their sons brains or badger them from beyond the grave.
