‘Phantom Boy’

“Phantom Boy” is a quiet, peaceful little animated film, arriving just in time as a salve for a noisy, angry world.

There is some danger and bad temper here, mind you — it’s a cop story on one level. But it’s told gently, drawing us in.

Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagnol’s follow-up to the duo’s 2010 Oscarnominated movie “A Cat in Paris,” like the earlier film, eschews obvious computer graphics for more traditional-looking animation to tell a sweet, simple story. (Computers were used, in other words; it just doesn’t look like it.)

“Bad Moms” lives up to its title. The fed-up women in this R-rated matriarchy chug scotch and wine. They go wild on whippets. They have sex with hot widowers on the granite islands in their handsomely appointed kitchens. There’s oral sex, masturbation, fullfrontal nudity and an uncomfortably long, involved demonstration of sex with an uncircumcised penis using Kristen Bell in a hoodie as a prop.

But beneath that patina of penis jokes and four-letter words beats a weak and sentimental heart that fails to deliver the film’s promise of raucous fun, instead wasting a talented cast of comediennes on cliche platitudes on motherhood.

It’s not the moms that are bad — it’s the movie.

The main mom is Amy (Mila Kunis), who looks the picture of polished perfection
