Bad Mom

Three overworked and underappreciated moms – Amy, Kiki, and Carla – are pushed to their limits as they struggle to balance their demanding lives with the pressures of the holiday season. Fed up with the expectations of being perfect mothers, they decide to ditch their responsibilities and go on a wild, no-holds-barred adventure, inviting their own mothers to join the chaos.

A Bad Moms Christmas received largely negative reviews from critics, who found the humor repetitive and the plot to be a rehash of the original film. Audiences, however, generally had a more favorable view, enjoying the comedic performances and the relatable themes of parental stress.

• While some appreciated the raunchy humor and the return of the main trio, many critics found the jokes stale and the plot predictable.

• The film leans heavily on its stars' comedic chemistry, but the material doesn't offer enough fresh material to sustain the runtime.

• Often described as a predictable but occasionally funny holiday romp, it struggled to recapture the surprise success of the first film.

Google audience: Google users generally found the film to be a fun, albeit silly, holiday comedy. Many viewers enjoyed the comedic timing of the lead actresses and appreciated the film's focus on the often-unseen struggles of mothers during the holidays, though some felt it was a bit too crude or similar to the first movie.

The film's release date was strategically moved up from November 24 to November 1, 2017, to avoid direct competition with other major holiday releases.
