A Bad Moms Christmas
A Bad Moms Christmas is a 2017 American Christmas comedy film written and directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore. It is a sequel to the 2016 film Bad Moms. The plot follows the three moms from the first film (Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn) dealing with their own mothers (Christine Baranski, Cheryl Hines, and Susan Sarandon) visiting during the Christmas holiday. The film was released in the United States on November 1, 2017, and grossed over $130 million. It received mixed-to-negative reviews, with criticism aimed at the thin story and raunchiness. In April 2019, it was announced that a sequel was in development.
Can I ask you something? Sure. How do you take it? Take what? Living with mom. I mean, s-s-she's so bossy and controlling and... Oh, my God, she's so vain. I mean, she spends all her time you know, creating this, this perfect image of herself just so she can lord it over people. Sweetie, your mom isn't vain. Oh, come on, she, she wears a princess outfit at least once a month. You're probably never gonna believe this. But your mom is the most insecure woman I've ever met.

My mother? - Ruth? - Yes. - Redmond? Huh. - Yes. She never shows anyone except for me. But beneath that tough exterior is a scared little girl whose mom never really loved her. Oh, come on, dad. You know her mother. Nothing your mom does is ever good enough for that woman. She makes your mom feel worthless every single day of her life. So that's why it's so important to your mom to make everything perfect. It's not because she's vain. It's, it's, it's... You know, it's because when someone tells her she's got the most amazing Christmas tree on the block, it makes her feel just for a second like she's not worthless. Like she's, she's actually good at something. Like she's, like she's loved. Why does she take it out on me then? Because you know what she's most insecure about? Mm... Bein' a mom.

She really asked that? Sweetheart, she loves you more than anything in the world. She's just got a... a deeply fucked up way of showing it. Yeah. Look, I've been married to your mother for 36 years. Hm. And she is a pain in the ass even on a good day. But you know what? I love her more now than I did the day we got married. Because I know the real her. And if you can find it in your heart to forgive her and get to know her like I know her... you might just find that there is a funny sweet, beautiful person hiding inside there.
