“Bad Moms,” in 2016, was the latest in a string of movies featuring the word “Bad” in the title: “Bad Santa,” “Bad Teacher,” and so on. These generic titles, sort of like the Shop Rite and Walmart versions of, say, Kool-Aid, or Pop-Tarts, belied the fact that they’re pretty funny movies, albeit R-rated, and therefore leaning more heavily than most on the raunch factor for laughs.
