Bad Parents, director Caytha Jentis' second feature-film directorial effort, is a black comedy focusing on the insanity prevalent in competitive youth sports leagues, in this case girls' soccer. The film is heavy on dialogue, which makes sense considering that it was originally written for the stage under the title It's All for the Kids, but I found it to be a bit short on character development and lacking in focus. For my tastes, the film had a bi-polar quality, jumping back and forth from hilarious scenes featuring sharp, witty dialogue to clunky scenes that seemed to linger too long with the feel of the film fluctuating between edgy, over-the-top black comedy and more standard TV-sitcom fare.
