I haven’t seen the original bad moms movie. Oddly enough, I decided to watch this one because Christine Baranski is in it. I like her in The Good Fight and always look forward to when her character laughs. There are a lot of funny moments here, and also some cringeworthy ones, such as one mother having absolutely no boundaries in shoehorning herself into her daughter’s life, or ribald scenes like the dreaded ball-waxing sequence. But if you have maxed out temporarily on the sappy feel-good, miracle ending Christmas movies, this might make for an antidote, as long as any kids are off in bed.
