Crude humor, terrible language and a sporadic plot are just a few features of a film no one should take their children to see.  This fall, directors Jon Lucas and Scott Moore bring audiences a comedic sequel to “Bad Moms,” giving audiences insight in the lives of three mothers who want nothing more than a peaceful Christmas with their families.

Much like in the first “Bad Moms” film, mothers/friends Amy (Mila Kunis), Kiki (Kristen Bell) and Carla (Kathryn Hahn) are beyond stressed and pushed to their breaking points.  

Taking place during the Christmas season, each mother is preparing for the holidays with their families, from hanging up Christmas ornaments to waxing people at a spa for some extra money.  What better way to add to these mothers’ already stressful holidays than a surprise visit from their own  mothers?

Amy’s critical mother Ruth (Christine Baranski) arrives and doesn’t waste one second insulting her daughter’s Christmas decorations.  Ruth takes matters into her own hands and begins to transform Amy’s front yard into a “12 Days of Christmas” themed fiasco.

At Kiki’s house, her mother Sandy (Cheryl Hines) arrives three days earlier than expected with the utmost excitement to spend the next three weeks with her daughter.  

While Amy and Kiki are having trouble finding peace with the arrivals of their mothers, Carla is overjoyed to see her mother Isis (Susan Sarandon) come see her for the holidays.  But the excitement doesn’t hit until she is dropped off at her house in an 18-wheeler.

Amy, Kiki and Carla all decide to take a break from their mothers and spend some quality time together at the mall.  After discussing one another’s miseries, they come to one conclusion–to take back Christmas for themselves.

As the plot progresses and the stress between mothers and daughters becomes overbearing for Amy, Kiki, and Carla, some much-needed fun and advice emerges.  

What better way to describe this sequel than including twice the stress from the first movie?  The only problem is the story is supposed to follow all three mothers and not shine the spotlight on Amy and her struggles, which is exactly what this movie does.

While the movie is R-rated and should not be viewed by young eyes–unless you are a bad mom yourself–the language and behavior shown throughout the movie is almost too much for adult viewers.  Don’t get me wrong, some adults may love this.  But for the most part, the language was REALLY bad.

“Bad Moms Christmas” wasn’t total trash.  There were a few very realistic life lessons and emotional moments that would leave some people with tears in their eyes.  Although they were scarce, they were there and had some very meaningful messages behind them.

Each and every actor/actress in this movie does a phenomenal job of portraying their characters as they should to move the plot along.  The popularity of the actors/actresses is another important factor that draw audiences in.

I think we can all think of a time in our lives where we have either experienced or heard of an experience where we have run into some conflict with our mothers.  While I would not give this movie more than a two-star rating, it did make me crack a laugh every now and then.
