Ho-Ho-Ho! The Bad Moms are Back!
And this time they're even badder! Well, maybe not by that much. They're still rebelling against motherhood; taking shots, breaking shit…y'know, the usual. But this time they're doing it during Christmas! Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn return as the trio of moms who swim against the tide of maternal expectations, while still managing to find that balance in the end. You know the drill. Thankfully, these ladies pull that off pretty damn well and after the 2016 hit of BAD MOMS the turnaround was quick to get them back onscreen and now they're having a jolly good time with their own moms, played respectively by Cheryl Hines, Susan Sarandon and Christine Baranski.
Here's the synopsis:
A BAD MOMS CHRISTMAS follows our three under-appreciated and over-burdened women as they rebel against the challenges and expectations of the Super Bowl for moms: Christmas. And if creating a more perfect holiday for their families wasn't hard enough, they have to do all of that while hosting and entertaining their own mothers. By the end of the journey, our moms will redefine how to make the holidays special for all and discover a closer relationship with their mothers.
I had a lot of fun with BAD MOMS and with THE HANGOVER duo of on Lucas and Scott Moore at the helm there's really no reason it shouldn't at least be a good, raunchy time. Kunis, Bell and Hahn have great chemistry and have a firm grasp on this type of film, which will hopefully be a fun seasonal comedy that isn't afraid of some R-rated shenanigans. Ironically, DADDY'S HOME 2 comes out just a week after this, featuring a similar premise, so if you're into adult/parent comedy then you've got your share coming.
A BAD MOMS CHRISTMAS rides into theaters on November 3rd, 2017.
