A Bad Moms Christmas, the sequel to the original Bad Moms, is the perfect holiday comedy this year.  Bad Moms, the first movie, was hilarious and heartwarming, so I had high expectations for the second movie release.  A story about three “bad” moms played by Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn are trying to create the perfect holiday for their families, but are now faced with hosting their mothers for the holidays. These three moms decide to take back Christmas for themselves through wild shopping sprees and obvious bad behavior, but are put to a stop when their mothers show up. The film does an amazing job building off from the first movie by making the addition of veteran actresses Cheryl Hines, Christine Baranski, and Susan Sarandon. The movie focuses on the original moms, but now ties in the relationship between mother and daughter as well as adding a holiday spark.

   A Bad Moms Christmas had the audience in laughter throughout the whole movie, but the comedy lacked at times and didn’t intrigue me as much as the original Bad Moms. The movie used an excessive amount of adult language and references, which at times was overwhelming. Even though it is not kid friendly, it is definitely a movie with a message behind it and left me thinking about the meaning of Christmas, mother and daughter relationships, and family. If you are looking for a new Christmas movie and a good laugh, A Bad Moms Christmas is a must see, if you are old enough.
