It’s not a family love, but it’s suitable for all mothers

■ From 23:30~01:15 the night before yesterday, I finished watching the female-themed R-rated comedy "A Bad Mom's Christmas (Bad Mom's Christmas/aka: Bad Mom 2)" (USA/2017). The movie was a commercial success in 2016. The sequel to the comedy "Bad Moms" series retains the three breathless mother roles in the previous work, and tells the funny story of how they welcome their mothers to join the "Christmas War" together. The first part of "Bad Mom" ​​is undoubtedly a model-level work of American female comedy in recent years. The unlimited line packaging and outstanding explosive power hidden in the discussion of women’s social status, family troubles, etc. have made the previous work gained in North America. Considerable group resonance. The "Bad Mom 2" in front of me continues a down-to-earth style full of festive warmth and openness. Although the new work was released more than a month before Christmas last year, the schedule does not seem to be a coincidence, but it still shows the director combination Joe En Lucas and Scott Moore's keen insight into female social subjects. Radical and vulgar wisdom appeared in the film endlessly, and the three "bad mothers" who "struggled" between the bear child and the crazy grandmother, in order to have a perfect Christmas and want to regain their "Christmas rights", put Low profile, no longer eager for those satisfying gifts that can never be waited for, and began to take the attitude of letting go and taking things easy to face all kinds of troubles during the festival. "Why do I have to decorate my home at Christmas to show my caring heart?" With countless contradictions about denying self-awareness and being responsible for the mood of the family, the six mothers had a Christmas meaning and rules with each other. Great controversy. The joy of Christmas and the different era values ​​among the three generations finally staged a festive comedy that is extremely lively and true. An adult-oriented non-family holiday work. All working women and housewives who are mothers should be able to find some spiritual power in their laughter to soothe the frustrations of their lives, even though some of the laughs in the film are not all that high-level and interesting .

A Bad Moms Christmas quotes

  • Dr. Karl: Your mom was probably pretty normal before she had you. But then you were born. And you didn't sleep for six months. So she didn't sleep for six months. And you refused to eat. And when you did eat, you would barf all over her clothes. And that made your Mom a little crazy. And then you fell off your bike and broke your arm. And then you got bullied in school and then you started dating that weird dude with the stick through his nose. And all those things? Made your mom a little more crazy. And then you got married and bought a house you can't afford and you raise kids who never say "please" or "thank you", shit, they can't even read, and all those things made your mom super duper crazy. And now you come into my office and go "Dr Karl, why's my mom so crazy?" And this answer is... You, motherfucker! You made your mom crazy! So be nice to your mom, 'cause you the one who fucked her shit up!

  • Ruth: Amy, it's December 19th. Even the Jews have their Christmas trees by now.
