Synopsis
Amy, Kiki and Carla – three under-appreciated and over-burdened women – rebel against the challenges and expectations of the Super Bowl for mothers: Christmas. And if creating a more perfect holiday for their families wasn’t hard enough, they have to do all of that while hosting and entertaining their own mothers.

Chicago Tribune
A movie can be unreasonably formulaic and still be reasonably diverting, and A Bad Moms Christmas is the proof. - 60
Variety
The new film, while just okay enough to get by, takes a step back from the audacity of “Bad Moms” to something more cautiously conventional. - 58
The Film Stage
One’s enjoyment all depends on what they are expecting to get out of a studio comedy sequel; if you desire something light, occasionally surprising, and ultimately unchallenging, then A Bad Mom’s Christmas is for you. - 50
Screen Daily
The new film is hardly a comedic lump of coal, but the broad, sitcom-y material has inherent limitations that no amount of shameless, gleeful silliness can overcome. - 50
Washington Post
A good idea and a stellar cast lost inside a sloppy script that mostly retreads last year’s laughs. - 42
IndieWire
The cheerless, choppy nature of A Bad Moms Christmas keeps each storyline feeling oddly singular, and it’s worse for it. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
With brilliant comedians like Hahn and new addition Christine Baranski on board, there are line readings that pop and jokes that land.... But A Bad Moms Christmas is louder, busier and more pandering than the original — an exhausting spectacle of skilled performers gamely mugging their way through a cash grab. - 40
Vox
A Bad Moms Christmas is thin and silly, like an overlong Christmas episode of a sitcom you pair with some reheated lo mein when you can’t figure out what else to do on a stray weeknight.
