The red-band trailer for Bad Moms takes motherhood to some raunchy places

Mila Kunis has taken on a variety of roles over the last few years, from an aspiring ballet dancer in the Oscar-nominated Black Swan to the savior of the planet in the sci-fi adventure Jupiter Ascending. Her latest role, however, might be her most heroic.

In the upcoming, raunchy comedy Bad Moms, Kunis plays an overworked mother who decides to reject the overly restrictive, judgmental culture of motherhood and live life to the fullest — which apparently involves boozy parties, fast cars, and wild parties in the heart of suburbia. STX Entertainment has released a pair of trailers — one approved for general audiences, and one an R-rated, red-band preview — that offer a peek at the raunchy comedy from the duo that gave the world The Hangover.

Written and directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, who penned the script for 2009’s The Hangover and both wrote and directed the 2013 comedy 21 & OverBad Moms casts Kunis as the stressed-out mother who joins two other moms played by Kristen Bell (Forgetting Sarah MarshallVeronica Mars) and Kathryn Hahn (The Secret Life of Walter MittyHow to Lose a Guy in 10 Days) in rebelling against the status quo for moms.

Along with Kunis, Bell, and Hahn, the film also features Christina Applegate (Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy) as PTA president Gwendolyn, as well as Jada Pinkett-Smith (Gotham), Annie Mumolo (Bridesmaids), and Emjay Anthony (Krampus) in supporting roles.

You can watch the red-band trailer for Bad Moms below, but be warned: It definitely earns it R rating.

Bad Moms arrives in theaters July 29, 2016.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked
Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
