Matthew D Mila Kunis is wonderful trying to please Christine Baranski as her difficult mother. Directors Scott Moore and Jon Lucas’ sex comedy A Bad Moms Christmas (2017) is really wild. It’s somehow more raunchy and outrageous than the first movie. Moore and Lucas direct crazy montage scenes of trampolining, mall havoc, and partying. I loved the cameo from Kenny G, who gets the funniest line in the movie. I love the running gag that Christine Baranski will forget Mila’s boyfriend right after meeting him. I liked Bad Moms about as much as Bad Moms. It’s a total riot. I also recommend Bridesmaids, Bachelorette, Bad Moms, Rough Night, Girls Night, and Joy Ride. Writers Scott Moore and Jon Lucas manage to develop the friendship between the three main moms, as well as them learning to speak up for themselves because their mothers need to respect boundaries. It’s great for uplifting moms. It has a heartfelt message about understanding everything your mom has done for you and is going through. All of the mommy trauma is increasingly hilarious, but also tender. It was a nice idea for all of these controlling mothers to appear during Christmas time at the homes of the main cast. Seeing all the mothers arguing is just pure hilarity. Mila Kunis is funny, gorgeous, and lovable as the sympathetic mom heroine Amy Redmond-Mitchell. Kunis is great at getting you to feel sorry for her mother tormenting during the holidays. Jay Hernandez is kind and considerate again as Mila’s love interest Jessie. Ariana Greenblatt is great as the little girl Lori Harkness. Kristen Bell is cute and astonished at everything as the pathetically shy mom Kiki Wilson-Moore. Kathryn Hahn is insane as the incessant partier Carla Dunkler. She’s so funny, but also gets a nice romance plot with Justin Hartley’s stripper Ty Swindle. He’s a good sport for all of these scenes. Cade Cooksey is still very funny as the simple-minded son Jaxon Dunkler. Christine Baranski is a scream as the overprotective and commanding Ruth Redmond, Amy's mother and Hank's wife. Baranski is really outrageous with her endless insults and meddling. Peter Gallagher is just there to have fun as Ruth’s husband Hank Redmond. His heartfelt speech to Mila is adorable and very kind hearted. Oona Laurence’s Jane and Emjay Anthony’s Dylan are great as the spoiled kids. Cheryl Hines is fun as Kiki’s constantly too close mother Sandy Wilson. Her mimicking Kristen Bell’s style and voice is a riot. Susan Sarandon is excellent as the weed smoking mother to Carla named Isis Dunkler. Lyle Brocato is amusing opposite Bell as Kent Moore, especially when he’s shocked by Cheryl’s clingy behavior. Wanda Sykes gets an even funnier cameo than the first movie as she is stunned by Hines’ overbearing mother and she tells off Bell. Christina Applegate’s cameo as Gwendolyn James had me rolling. A Bad Moms Christmas is super cute and hysterical. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review David F Just watched this. It's quite entertaining, and sometimes intentionally. Other times it's just funny to watch all the 70 year-old Hollywood types with their plastic faces trying to be wacky. Susan Sarandon is too good for this material, as is Larry David's on-screen wife Cheryl. But it's undemanding fun in the run-up to Christmas. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/23/24 Full Review Leanne T There are some good moments in Bad Moms’ Christmas, most of them supplied by an acerbic Christine Baranski, but they can’t overcome a flat and obvious script that frequently descends into vulgarity. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Keith P That was bad. Made me uncomfortable. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Al B Not quite as terrible as I expected, not quite the lump of coal I’ve read it was. Raunchy, foul mouthed and predictable. Cast was game and it’s brightly lit with a certain cheery flair. A few laughs, and it ends in schmaltz, as expected. Never realized how much Christine Baranski looks like Taylor Swift! Almost her older twin. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/17/24 Full Review Eileen A OK, it's never going to be a Christmas classic. It was over the top but oh so much fun. Great cast and a little bit of the warm fuzzies at the end. Not for small kids though. However, great entertainment for a group of women, after a couple glasses of wine, during the Christmas season.
