There’s nothing better than a good comedy to get you out of that bad mood. Don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be dark and gritty like Batman v Superman – just anything with jokes will do the trick! Here are 5 Hollywood comedies coming out in the next few months that look hilarious.
Bad Moms
This movie is about three moms, who work full time and also have to take care of their children.

So they drink, swear, yell and abandon their children in order to prove that they can be just as fun as everyone else.

Star Trek Beyond
