Critics Consensus

Featuring twice the moms but roughly half the laughs, A Bad Moms Christmas is a slapdash holiday sequel that falls short of the original with a disappointing dearth of good cheer.

Helen O'Hara

Empire Magazine

It'll entertain you while on the verge of a turkey coma, but it will never rank among the Christmas classics.

Rated: 2/5

Observer (UK)

"Why can't my husband buy his own mom a Christmas present?" is this sweet sequel's thesis statement.

It's far from a well-wrapped present but it's not exactly coal in someone's stocking.

This is the equivalent of rushing downstairs on Christmas morning, ripping your present open, and discovering all you got was a measly pair of socks.

Newshub (NZ)

Desperately laboured, heavy-handed humour delivered loudly and lazily with a glaringly tired plot...

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.

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.

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.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This is the kind of movie that takes actual toxic behaviour and attempts to justify it through Hollywood sentimentality. This is why so many people actually struggle with abusive, manipulative, overbearing mothers... because even when they can see clearly that boundaries need to be set or no contact needs to happen, society guilts, shames, and degrades adult children who attempt to find healthy and boundary guided new lives away from a toxic mother. This movie might be intended to be light hearted, but any movie shaming victims of toxic abuse for just not being compassionate enough is pretty messed up.

Some funny moments in it and definitely just an easy Christmas movie to watch. Kathryn Hahn makes it for me.
