Leslie Mann was set to star in the lead role. Bill Block of Block Entertainment and Raj Brinder Singh of Merced Media Partners would produce the film, along with Judd Apatow and Josh Church through Apatow Productions, while Merced Media financing the film. On April 30, 2015, it was announced that Jon Lucas and Scott Moore were set to direct an untitled female-led comedy, based on their own original script. Gwendolyn invites Amy, Carla, and Kiki for a day of fun on her husband's private jet. Amy herself has gotten her job back with much better compensation after her boss sees how much he had taken her for granted, and she continues to see Jessie. Weeks later, Amy's approach has led to positive changes: Jane has been reinstated to the soccer team and is stressing out less, Dylan is applying himself, Kiki makes her husband help out with the kids, Carla is more responsible and hands-on, Gwendoline is kinder with everyone, and all of the other moms, including Stacy and Vicky, are feeling more energized. She wins by a landslide and winds up comforting a devastated Gwendolyn, who reveals she's going through a divorce as well and bossing around the PTA was her outlet for venting her anger. At the event, Amy gives an inspiring speech about how overworked moms need to take time off, do fewer and less stressful events, and most importantly, allow themselves to make mistakes. Unable to cope with her sadness, she becomes reclusive and depressive.Ī despondent Amy stays home during the PTA election but is fired up by Carla and Kiki, (who finally stands up to her husband, ordering him to deal with everything alone until afterwards).
Not only do Jane and Dylan both go to stay with Mike (who has agreed to an amicable divorce), but Amy loses her job because she's taken much time off. Meanwhile, Gwendolyn responds to Amy’s antics by putting joints in Jane's locker, framing her, which gets her kicked out of all extracurricular activities. After explaining she hadn't sent it, he asks Amy if she wants him to leave, which she doesn't. Afterwards it is revealed that Carla had “booty texted” Jessie from Amy’s phone. In spite of this, the other moms, and Martha, swiftly abandon Gwendolyn's party when it becomes clear that she intends to lecture them all evening, leading to a successful party at Amy's house. A meet-and-greet at Amy's draws only one visitor, who tells them Gwendolyn has launched a rival party at her own house, catered by Martha Stewart. Angered, Amy decides to run for PTA president against her. When Amy brings store-bought donut holes to the bake sale, she draws the ire of Gwendolyn, who uses her PTA authority to get Jane benched from the soccer team. The next morning she receives a text from him showing interest. She ultimately strikes up a conversation with Jessie ( Jay Hernandez) a handsome widower at the school who's had a crush on her, leading to them kissing. Amy herself wants to start dating but is inexperienced as she had a shotgun marriage at 20. The trio embark on an all-night bender, inspiring Amy to loosen up with her kids: she takes them for rides in Mike's sportscar, gets them lunch from Arby's, forces Dylan to fend for himself to prevent him from being lazy and entitled, and takes the overachieving and constantly stressed Jane for a spa day. Amy and Carla are irritated to see that Kiki's husband is domineering, expecting her to take care of all the kids and the house without help, while Amy and Kiki are taken aback by Carla's very hands-off approach to parenting. At a nearby bar, she meets Carla ( Kathryn Hahn) a laid-back, sexually active single mom, and Kiki ( Kristen Bell) a stay-at-home mom of four who admires Amy's dissent. Amy catches her husband Mike ( David Walton) cheating on her with a camgirl, she kicks him out and attempts to keep everything together.Īfter a particularly stressful day, Amy publicly quits the PTA due to Gwendolyn's overzealous bake sale. She is a sales rep for a coffee company, prepares healthful lunches for her children, does their homework, goes to all of their extracurricular activities, and is active in the PTA, run by the domineering Gwendolyn James ( Christina Applegate) and her cronies, Stacy ( Jada Pinkett Smith) and Vicky ( Annie Mumolo). Amy Mitchell ( Mila Kunis) is married, 32, living in the Chicago suburbs with her kids, Jane ( Oona Laurence) and Dylan ( Emjay Anthony), overworked and overcommitted.
