Bad Movie submitted by moola on July 20, 2018, 7:19pm Not impressed

A Bad Moms Christmas submitted by libbyk on August 10, 2018, 2:46pm I did not laugh aloud, even once.

Falls flat submitted by ferielp on August 16, 2018, 11:28pm You can see most of the jokes coming, which makes watching the movie a drudgery.

Aims too Low submitted by Meginator on June 21, 2020, 3:09pm Having been pleasantly surprised by the original Bad Moms film, I thought I’d give this sequel a shot. Though the three returning leads, and the three women cast as their mothers, light up the screen with undeniable chemistry, there’s only so much they can do with the subpar script. The film relies far too heavily on montages that repeat the same gag in slow motion for several minutes and too often settles for lowbrow humor when more sophisticated jokes lie just within reach. It’s not the raunchiness that bothers me so much as the film’s apparent desire to make that attitude work with a more serious look at the main characters’ relationships to their own mothers; the tone is uneven and the emotional payoff just isn’t there when storylines take their intended course without having laid the proper groundwork. The central relationship is repaired in a matter of minutes without addressing its serious underlying issues, and while I recognize that films work on expedited timelines something about it rings particularly hollow here. I absolutely adore these characters and would definitely be back for a third Bad Moms adventure, but this film doesn’t do its cast or characters justice.
