As their own mothers drop in unexpectedly, our three under-appreciated and over-burdened moms rebel against the challenges and expectations of the Super Bowl for mothers: Christmas.
Take a look back at the talented actors and actresses who took home a Golden Globe for Best Actor/Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama since the category was created in 1951.
A Bad Moms Christmas follows our three under-appreciated and over-burdened women as they rebel against the challenges and expectations of the Super Bowl for moms: Christmas. And as if creating a more perfect holiday for their families wasn't hard enough, they must do all of that while hosting and entertaining their own mothers. By the end of the journey, our moms will redefine how to make the holidays special for all and discover a closer relationship with their mothers.

I had low expectations but was surprisingly amused. Kathryn Hahn is outrageously funny and seeing Susan Sarandon as such a free spirit was worth the time spent. The relationship between Cheryl Hines and Kristen Bell was strange (friendship over mother/daughter) and subtly funny. A virtual cameo by Wanda Sykes asva family counselor was funny. Christine Baranski as Mika Kunis' mother was over the top (controlling) but occasionally funny (Dodge Ball). All the relationships were dysfunctional at different levels. Ultimately, the film had limited lasting value but had enough incredible situations that often felt so real that it makes the movie entertaining. The ending was a little too predictable in attempting to resolve differences which distracted to some degree from the over all value of the film.
