Good concept, poorly executed.

Fresh and Exciting

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Those who saw the original Bad Moms should have been aware that they were in for a silly, nonsensical, quirky, and fun type of film. These stories are not driven by an intricate plot, which many other reviews pen as a downfall of the film.A Bad Moms Christmas follows up on the friendship of Amy, Kiki, and Carla while introducing several new characters in order to tell a Christmas story. It does not contain a deep story which will make you rethink life or experience an extreme emotional reaction. The movie is silly as it was intended to be.Unlike Bad Moms, it retains the same pace throughout the film and does have some extremely hilarious moments; which are again, silly.If you know what you're getting the movie is entertaining.True Score: 6.6

The three "Bad Moms" are facing a stressful Christmas. Amy (Mila Kunis) stops trying to be perfect and then her passive-aggressively perfect mom (Christine Baranski) and submissive dad (Peter Gallagher) surprise her with a visit. Kiki (Kristen Bell) has her way-too-close mom (Cheryl Hines). Carla (Kathryn Hahn) has her wildly outrageous absent mom (Susan Sarandon). Carla is lonely and until male stripper Ty Swindel (Justin Hartley) comes looking for a wax.The first movie was a surprise success and I liked it. I like the chemistry between the three ladies and it's fun whenever they're together. This sequel takes the rule of sequel to heart. They double up by adding the moms of the moms. In so doing, the comedy gets thinner. The three ladies don't have as much time together. The movie is forced to concentrate on each individual mother daughter relationship. There is still good comedy but less of it here. The trio is still good. The grandmothers are fine. It's just too many characters and each one gets less time. All of it adds up to a lesser continuation and a promising franchise failing.

Mostly preposterous and stupid. But it had several laugh out loud moments. And a few touching moments, if you don't think about the absurd things that brought it that point.It doesn't deserve 1s or 2s. Those are lazy scores.

I know this is a film but I can relate to Amy, Kiki, and Carla as not my mum but my Nan is just like their mums as she expects my mum and I to be perfect and demands it and other things and if we're not who she wants us to be she'll either stop talking to us or start an argument, oh and Amy's kids are selfish brats in this film, they are never happy and they don't understand what kind of grandmothers they are to their own kids. But I did enjoy this film, they were the only problems I had with it.
