A movie can be unreasonably formulaic and still be reasonably diverting, and A Bad Moms Christmas is the proof. Some sequels take time to come together.
This one took a mere 15 months to reunite Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and the extraordinarily valuable Kathryn Hahn as the suburban Chicago pals perennially under the gun of peer pressure and familial expectation. (The movie was shot in Atlanta, with some fake-looking snow-machine snow in tidy little piles here and there.) Screenwriters and directors Jon Lucas and Scott Moore return and, while their staging, and setups and what the old folks call “moviemaking” remain functional at best, a fair number of the jokes hit their targets.
