Bad Moms 2 - Mamme molto più cattive

That's what the title should be. My god there are so many cringey montages. They're basically identical to the ones in the first movie too. I didn't expect much from this unnecessary sequel and I didn't get much. Hahn and Baranski are legitimately funny, but can't keep this trite comedy afloat.

This movie was trashy with mediocre writing... Yet I have no regrets watching it. I loved watching the cast engage in stupid debauchery. I laughed. I shed a tear. I got warm fuzzies. All in all it was a good time. It was more fun than your standard Hallmark Christmas movie.

I'm frankly waiting for other releases and didn't want to re-watch the good ones, and that's how I landed on this. And in all honesty, I watched it for Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Christine Baranski, and Susan Sarandon. With a star-studded cast as such, I was a bit disappointed there weren't many laugh-out-loud moments, it did bring on a smile though. I'm guessing core-mom's might enjoy this as it seemed like a mellowed-down cross of Magic Mike XXL - Bad Moms and Daddy's Home.

It's not great for a Christmas watch but if you have nothing to do and want to watch something new without paying much attention to the screen, it is ideal for background noise and fluff. You will know the story even if you skip major junks. There's nothing new to be offered apart from some good chemistry between the cast. So if you're not going to pick the movie apart and don't care for a feel-good Christmas movie, give this one a shot.

Mostly preposterous and stupid. But it had several laugh out loud moments. And a few touching moments, if you don't think about the absurd things that brought it that point.

It doesn't deserve 1s or 2s. Those are lazy scores.

... Oh, because it isn't there!

People are rating this a 1 when the SHARKNADO series exists? I'm putting the bah-humbug reviews down to holiday depression and humorlessness compliments of stressful family dynamics. C'mon, people, cheer up. I'm not even a fan of comedies, and I enjoyed it.

PS -- It doesn't set women back even a minute. If anything, it underscores how much pressure we put women under during the holidays and how brilliantly they handle it compared to how men would.
