'Bad Moms' Night Out Is Fun, But Also a Darned Good Cause

FERNDALE, MI — Moms, you can relate to this, right?

Three overstressed, overworked moms decide to kick it up by blowing off their responsibilities and going off on a wild one. Of course, there's a clash with a rival mom. You know the type: that oh-so-perfect mom who doesn't want anyone to peel back the veneer of her seemingly perfect life.

That's the premise behind "Bad Moms," written and directed by John Lucas and Scott Moore and starring Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Jada Pinkett Smith, Kathryn Hahn and Christina Applegate.

And you can see a special showing at Ferndale Moms' Night Out while supporting a great cause — Blessings in a Backpack, which provides nutritionally balanced meals on weekends for students in Ferndale Public Schools' free and reduced lunch program, which is funded solely by donations.

To raise more money for the Blessings in a Backpack, a special showing of "Bad Moms" will be held at 8 p.m. Friday, July 29, at Emagine Theatre in Royal Oak.

The private screening features a personal on-screen introduction by Kristin Bell, plus a chance at raffle and silent auction items. The ticket price includes popcorn and fountain drinks.

Oh, and bad dads are welcome, too, as are bad moms from outside of Ferndale.

Seating is limited, so for more information, go here.
