In this comedy a few titular under-appreciated and over-burdened friends cope with the stresses of the most wonderful time of year as their own mothers visit for the holidays.
Critic Consensus
Critical reception for A Bad Moms Christmas is largely negative, with reviewers finding it formulaic, safe, and unable to live up to the premise of its raunchy concept. The film's likable lead actresses are occasionally acknowledged, though critics largely felt their talents were wasted. The most common criticism is that the film retreats into generic holiday movie territory and relies on clichéd character resolutions, failing to push far enough beyond conventional Christmas fare.

“...aside from some inspired portions, "A Bad Moms Christmas" feels formulaic and safe, and never as over-the-top as this kind of sequel needs to be. These moms may be bad, but they needed to be 'badder' for this film to truly fly.”Read full review ↗
“While promising to be a film about how much pressure mothers bring upon themselves over hosting the perfect Christmas for the family, it ends up about resolving mother-daughter conflicts through some very cliched characters.”Read full review ↗
“Sadly, the film holds back from completely committing to that direction and ends up being yet another generic Christmas flick. Watch this only if you've exhausted all the other choices out there.”Read full review ↗
“Every Christmas, there is a film that eulogises the merits of the festival as a family affair, and this year it is, A Bad Moms Christmas, that does the needful with flair. A sequel to last year's Bad Moms, this one, with its raunchy comedy that would definitely make Santa and all of us blush to the rosiest of pinks.”Read full review ↗
“A Bad Moms Christmas is a vile film. It's a shameful low in the careers of Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn, three supremely likable actors that are radiant in nearly everything else they've ever done. But fortunately, this is the last time either of us will be discussing it.”Read full review ↗
