A Bad Moms Christmas - The scoop and digest

Directing/writing duo Scott Moore and Jon Lucas return to bring early festive cheer.

Mila Kunis - Amy
Kristen Bell - Kiki
Kathryn Hahn - Carla
Christine Baranski - Ruth
Susan Sarandon - Isis
Cheryl Hines - Sandy
Justin Hartley - Ty Swindel
Jay Hernandez - Jessie

I will be very, very brief.

Amy tells us she's ruined Christmas.

To see how and why, we have to go back a bit.

In the days leading up to the most stressful time of the year, relatives show up unexpectedly.

Ruth (Amy's mom) - stuck up, super rich and enjoys making daughter feel like shit.
Isis (Carla's mom) - degenerate gambler, stoner, heavy drinker and cash leech.
Sandy (Kiki's mom) - creepy obsessive weirdo.

Predictably, they get right on each other's tits.

Situation moves from one humourless farce to the next, until things come to a head on Christmas Eve.

Amy hits the roof when she comes home to Ruth's swanky party and house is subsequently wrecked, explaining opening scene.

After falling out and/or legging it from respective daughters, moms meet up at church and admit how terrible they are as parents.

Oh my GOD!

For some reason, I'm compelled to play the world's smallest violin.

Inevitable reconciliation takes place and Christmas Day goes swimmingly.

Bad alright

Yeah, and not in a good way.

Original kinda had its moments, but sequel...

Bad Santa 2 was considerably worse, but this is still bereft of quality.

What the fuck?

Exclamation is repeated several times, and for very different reasons - I'm in total agreement.

Carla takes a break from waxing lady gardens by waxing balls of well endowed exotic dancer Ty Swindel, who of course she instantly falls for.

(Sigh).

Plot is pulled from the most unoriginal drawer and unnecessary slo-mo is back with a vengeance.

Women will probably relate to and appreciate shit storm more than blokes, but then again, maybe not.
