Sometimes, only sometimes, Hollywood serves up exactly what its audiences asks for. Just last summer, many of us asked for “Bad Moms” breakout Kathryn Hahn to gain more recognition for her comedic chops. But not like this: Enter “A Bad Moms Christmas,” a fast-tracked, holiday-themed sequel to the surprise smash hit (nearly $185 million worldwide) that giddily plays up all the worst impulses of Hahn’s indelible character Carla, culminating with the Emmy nominee spouting off the year’s most eye-popping line: “It was almost like waxing the balls of the Dalai Lama.”
You want raunchy Kathryn Hahn, you’re gonna get it, care of a slapdash followup that has mostly forgotten what made the original so weirdly charming.
Set soon after the events of the original film, “A Bad Moms Christmas” follows the eponymous bad moms as they attempt to work through the most stressful time of the year — aka the holidays.

Despite some serious backlash and controversy over its supposed whitewashing of a beloved Japanese property, Ghost In The Shell is performing very nicely in Japan. The first trailer for the film recently debuted, and the Japanese-subtitled YouTube version of the trailer has already notched north of a quarter million views with the "Likes" outnumbering the "Dislikes" by a margin of 10 to 1.
They seem to be liking what they're seeing, and this is the latest indication of Japanese Ghost In The Shell fans being caught off-guard by the backlash the production has received here in the States ever since it was announced that Scarlett Johansson would be playing The Major.
Reports coming out of the Japanese film industry and its fans, dating back to April of this year, have indicated that fans of the original property never even expected the Hollywood version to cast a Japanese actress in the first place.
