Tired of striving for perfection? Mila Kunis in her latest movie, Bad Moms, hears you loud and clear.

Bad Moms features the same writers from The Hangover and, alongside Kunis, co-stars Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn, a group of women decide they are tired of trying to be the "perfect mum".

"Let's be bad mums," Amy Mitchell, played by Kunis says. 

Though Amy's life seems perfect, according to the film synopsis, "she's over-worked, over-committed and exhausted to the point that she's about to snap."

Joining forces with two other "over-stressed" mums, the trio embark on a "quest to liberate themselves from conventional responsibilities – going on a wild, un-mum-like binge of long overdue freedom, fun and self-indulgence."

The movie also features Christina Applegate and Jada Pinkett Smith, who play strict PTA mums.

"We work too damn hard to make our kids' lives amazing and magical," says Amy in the trailer. "But their lives already are amazing and magical."

Bad Moms is released locally August 11. Watch the trailer above.
