A Bad Moms Christmas

What follows is another slapstick dose of hard-R ridiculosity with a soft-nougat center, but it also passes the Bechdel test maybe better than any other film this year, and its older generation of stars are too smart not to go to town on their stock roles.

The Bad Moms sequel suffers from an uneven script and the addition of too many new, superfluous characters.

Fans can best enjoy the movie the way the bad moms make the best of the holiday: lots of alcohol, lots of forgiveness.

The new film is hardly a comedic lump of coal, but the broad, sitcom-y material has inherent limitations that no amount of shameless, gleeful silliness can overcome.

For all its run-of-the-mill dick jokes and slapstick humor, the antics are fairly funny, in that you-know-what-you’re-getting-yourself-into kind of way.

A deeply uninspired sequel to last year’s surprise (and surprisingly sweet) hit “Bad Moms,” this movie was made in a hurry and it shows.

What's offensive about A Bad Moms Christmas (and “Bad Moms”) is just how shoddily made it is.

What do you expect when you go see a Bad Moms movie? You know it’s not going to be nominated for an Oscar. You go see it because you want to have fun! And that’s what “Bad Moms Christmas” is. Lots of fun! I went with a bunch of ladies and we all enjoyed it and had a great time watchIng it. Adding the Moms’ moms was inspired! Cheryl Hines is adorable and so funny as Kiki’s mom. They are like twins! So alike! Christine Baranski is great as Mika Kunis’ character’s mom. Nothing pleases this woman. My least favorite was Susan Sarandon just because the character she plays is just so typical Sarandon (in my opinion anyway). All the moms visit our Bad Moms at Christmas and make the Bad Moms lives extra crazy, even as they decide to “take Christmas back” and relieve some of the stress and pressures of being “the Mom” in the household at Christmas. All holiday preparations fall on them. I was worried they would go totally over the top and tip the raunch scale or the stupid scale like “Rough Night” (a truly terrible movie!). I am happy to say that I didn’t feel like they overdid anything too much. Not only funny and fun, but truly touching at times. A great fun watch for a group of ladies to all see together!

Not as funny and so overly sentimental. A limp sequel. 'A Bad Moms Christmas' is basically 'Daddy's Home 2' - which, interestingly, was released less than a week after this. Mila Kunis (Amy) in the lead role isn't as strong, nor are Kristen Bell (Kiki) and Kathryn Hahn (Carla) unfortunately. They have a few bits, but not enough. Christine Baranski, Cheryl Hines and Susan Sarandon are meh newcomers. The ending particularly dragged, with it going full on preach mode and is far too cutesy. It'd be fine if it also wasn't so predictable. I noted the music in 'Bad Moms' as being good, but even that drops a level in this follow-up film. It could've been worse, I guess, but I just didn't find entertainment with this.

A Christmas sequel that has many hilarious moments, this is an unecessary but generally entertaining film which is very thin on storyline, relying heavily on humour and performance to carry the increasingly ridiculous plot. The central theme of the complexity of mother-daughter relationships is the only real focus of the film, and there are moments with emotional resonance that captures the spirit of a 'holiday film’ with an endearing honesty which makes up for the sloppy pacing. Not quite a 'family film', though mostly because of language, this is a fun and silly film which had the audience laughing the entire way through. 6.34/10

let it go.. A Bad Moms Christmas Carrying the whole movie on a script of a daily soap episode is too much even for 104 minutes runtime since the only thing you rely on are some verbal sequences between Mila, Kirsten and Kathryn which are quite funny

To tell the truth I did not enjoy the first movie, I understood it's appeal but there was nothing of my interest in it. It wasn't really funny but I was also able to understand why there were people who enjoyed it. Was a sequel necessary? No, damn it, it wasn't, but Hollywood is about money and money in this case was the whole deal. The ironic thing is that I don't understand what the hell the people in the studio were thinking, how the hell they throw a Christmas themed movie with almost two months to go before Christmas and also facing a film like Thor: Ragnarok. But not only that, it's noted that the script was made hastily on the simple pretext of catalyzing the unexpected success of the first film. They try to do bigger stuff by adding the grandmothers but squander them with such a poor story and such a simplistic moral. This is a forgettable film made with sole pretense of making easy money. I hate when things like this happen.
