A Bad Moms Christmas

What to Know

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.

A Bad Moms Christmas | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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 Nov 9, 2017 Full Review A Bad Moms Christmas | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Simran Hans Observer (UK) "Why can't my husband buy his own mom a Christmas present?" is this sweet sequel's thesis statement. Rated: 3/5 Nov 5, 2017 Full Review A Bad Moms Christmas | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Jocelyn Noveck Associated Press ... a stale old chestnut. Nov 3, 2017 Full Review A Bad Moms Christmas | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Matthew St. Clair Cinema Sentries It's far from a well-wrapped present but it's not exactly coal in someone's stocking. Oct 9, 2020 Full Review A Bad Moms Christmas | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Allen Almachar The MacGuffin 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. Rated: C- Jul 17, 2020 Full Review A Bad Moms Christmas | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Kate Rodger Newshub (NZ) Desperately laboured, heavy-handed humour delivered loudly and lazily with a glaringly tired plot...

Giorgio S Uh I don't know,to be a comedy movie is not really that bad.It crscks some small laughs and Mila Kunis and her Co stars work so well together.It's not bad but I'd take the first one instead of this,that one was really good Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/19/24 Full Review Kaya P Honestly I was majorly disappointed. This movie had an amazing cast. Every one of the actresses that played the moms are A1 actors having proved themselves in other titles over the years. The problem was 100% in the writing. The jokes were terrible. Storyline was bad and obvious. It's just cringe and unwatchable even with the great casting. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/24 Full Review Jeff M I had a VERY visceral and negative reaction to this movie - so much so that I came very close to turning it off a couple times. While I certainly don't consider myself a "prude" when it comes to movies, this type of humor does nothing for me and often comes close to being offensive. Watching a young girl, possibly around 6-7 years old, saying the f-word not once, not twice, but THREE times is not humorous to me. I have not seen the original BAD MOMS movie, but I'm going to assume its probably the same raunch humor mixed with attempted pathos. Hahn is an actress I have admired in the past, but her character here is absolutely repugnant. I cringed every time she came onscreen. Christine Baranski as Kunis' mom is unbearable and made me want to pull my hair out. Susan Sarandon as Hahn's mom looks embarrassed to be part of these proceedings. And the rest of the cast isn't much better, save Kunis. She is the one relatively bright spot here and seems to understand how to handle the tone of this movie. Had everyone else been on her level, this may have succeeded. And a really good and funny movie could be made about the stress of mothers during Christmas. This just ain't it - not by a long shot. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Matthew A The best part was the cast, the stories could have used a little more development and flashed between them all a little too fast. Mila, and cast were good, the lines were solid, and the entertainment factor was there. But 20 more minutes in setup of the story would have been nice. It did feel more like an episode, not sequel, and had most of the right parts. But lots left unexplained, a bit confusing on why.... Overall the cast and story were pretty good, and yes I would say give it a shot and see what your take is overall.It was worth the first time investment, but it will NOT be a movie I watch a second time.- Matthew Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Aleenna M Great cast, but I wasn't impressed by the writing: the story isn't particularly good, the jokes kind of lame.. Wouldn't watch it again, but it made me laugh a few times. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Audience Member Cheesy and a waste of time. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
