Review of A Bad Moms Christmas (2017) by Marcel A — 13 Dec 2017

Mining similar territory as 'Daddy's Home 2' with only marginally better results, this hastily assembled sequel to last year's sleeper hit finds our trio of overworked matriarchs butting heads with their own mothers over the holidays.

As a result, the film's leads (Mila Kunis, Kathryn Hahn and Kristen Bell) spend most of the movie apart, a mistake considering their winning chemistry. Of the three individual storylines, the underrrated Hahn fares best - her boozy, foul-mouthed Carla could easily carry a movie of her own.

That being said, the ample use of profanity feels like a placeholder for actual jokes, making the end result a paler, less satisfying version of the original. Still, it does feature Kenny G actually saying the words "It's not a flute, bitch".

..no other movie can make that boast.
