This movie tells us the story about three women who were not appreciated the right way and overcharged at the same time, which caused them to rebel against the challenges and expectations for all mothers: Christmas.
"I have heart cancer," Ms. Hines's character says at one point in a vain attempt to halt her daughter's complaints. I think I know exactly what she meant.
I think the big issue is that the script was written by two men rather than one or more women. (Full Content Review for Parents - Profanity, Sexual Content, etc. - also Available)
Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, who wrote and directed Bad Moms and The Hangover, know their audience, and in A Bad Moms Christmas, they balance the nasty with the poignant.
Apparently, Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, working the distaff side of their Hangover sensibility once again, have no better idea for a plot than a visit from grandma, so they simply repeat it three times.
It helps that Baranski, Hines, and, especially, Sarandon are perfectly cast as the mothers to the mothers, while the original trio again inject a palpable enthusiasm through their camaraderie and innate comedic timing.
