The red-band trailer for Bad Moms takes motherhood to some raunchy places

Mila Kunis has taken on a variety of roles over the last few years, from an aspiring ballet dancer in the Oscar-nominated Black Swan to the savior of the planet in the sci-fi adventure Jupiter Ascending. Her latest role, however, might be her most heroic.

In the upcoming, raunchy comedy Bad Moms, Kunis plays an overworked mother who decides to reject the overly restrictive, judgmental culture of motherhood and live life to the fullest — which apparently involves boozy parties, fast cars, and wild parties in the heart of suburbia. STX Entertainment has released a pair of trailers — one approved for general audiences, and one an R-rated, red-band preview — that offer a peek at the raunchy comedy from the duo that gave the world The Hangover.

Written and directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, who penned the script for 2009’s The Hangover and both wrote and directed the 2013 comedy 21 & OverBad Moms casts Kunis as the stressed-out mother who joins two other moms played by Kristen Bell (Forgetting Sarah MarshallVeronica Mars) and Kathryn Hahn (The Secret Life of Walter MittyHow to Lose a Guy in 10 Days) in rebelling against the status quo for moms.

Along with Kunis, Bell, and Hahn, the film also features Christina Applegate (Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy) as PTA president Gwendolyn, as well as Jada Pinkett-Smith (Gotham), Annie Mumolo (Bridesmaids), and Emjay Anthony (Krampus) in supporting roles.

You can watch the red-band trailer for Bad Moms below, but be warned: It definitely earns it R rating.

Bad Moms arrives in theaters July 29, 2016.

Blade: Trinity nearly killed Marvel movies. As it turns 20, we look back at what went wrong
The cast of Blade: Trinity.

Although X-Men and Spider-Man are widely credited with starting the modern comic-book movie boom in 2000 and 2002, respectively, there's an argument to be made that it was actually the original Blade movie in 1998 that got the ball rolling. Superhero movie fans don't know how good they have it now because there was a time when Marvel couldn't get a decent movie out of any of its franchises. Case in point: The Punisher movie starring Dolph Lundgren and the infamous Howard the Duck.

Blade was a game-changer in that it took a little-known Marvel anti-hero, placed Wesley Snipes in the title role and delivered a fun action flick. Stephen Norrington helmed the first film, and Guillermo del Toro stepped in to direct the sequel, Blade II, which was an even bigger success.

If you have to watch one Amazon Prime Video movie in December 2024, stream this one
Tom Hanks in Road to Perdition.

If you're looking for holiday merriment this month, you should check out the best Christmas movies on Amazon Prime Video. When it came time to pick the one Amazon Prime Video that you have to watch in December, however, we decided to go with something decidedly less cheery. Our selection for December 2024 is Road to Perdition, a 2002 crime drama directed by Sam Mendes (Skyfall) from a script by David Self.

The movie is based on the 1998 graphic novel Road to Perdition by Max Allan Collins and artist Richard Piers Rayner. Despite having a future Superman in the cast, it's completely unlike most comic book movies. Road to Perdition arrived in theaters during the same era as American Splendor and Ghost World, two other unconventional comics that would be hard-pressed to get their own movies in the franchise-obsessed Hollywood of 2024. While Road to Perdition has come and gone from Prime Video several times before, it deserves the spotlight this month because the film still isn't widely regarded as the modern classic that it is.
