GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER So what about Christmas could audiences all relate to and laugh at as well? What really pushes someone’s buttons at holiday time? There is one answer and one answer only. Your mom. Says Moore, “We knew we would have a fun lively movie again with the fantastic combo of Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn, but we also wanted to have a subject that we felt interesting, and that is when we upped the ante by adding the mom’s moms in this movie.” Todd was pleased with the writers’ direction, “This films opens up a lot of new territory of dealing with the holidays, and how these grown up mother/daughter relationships evolve.” Adds Lucas, “The idea of Christmas is a classic example of something that is really fun but for some reason through society or whatever, we are told not to enjoy it. If you cut all that away it is really a wonderful time of year - your family is around and everyone is giving each other presents, but somehow we have sucked the joy out of it by making it so stressful.” Moore picks up where his partner left off, “Also, in the mother daughter relationship if you get caught in ‘she did this’ or ‘she was telling me to do that,’ you could pick apart that relationship all day or you can just enjoy it a little more.” WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU I TOUCH MY ELF A year later we find our original Bad Moms Amy, Kiki, and Carla in the throws of the Christmas season. Mila Kunis once again plays the lovable and vivacious Amy, doing her best to keep it together at the holidays with the normal chaos of decorating, baking, tree trimming, buying and wrapping presents. Further complicating things, this Christmas she and her new(ish) boyfriend Jessie (Jay Hernandez) are blending their families, and Amy is determined to make the holidays a hit at any cost. Says Kunis, “I think it took a minute for the men to go it’s okay for them to see the movie. And when they did, they got it. Moms need to decompress. Moms are still women. Women who need to have a life outside of being a mom for their own sanity.” Kathryn Hahn returns as Carla, a single working mom whose nail art matches her mood. She is ready for a good time at a moment’s notice…just make her a proposition. You never know what is going to come out of her mouth. Says Kathryn Hahn, “Bad Moms struck a chord with a huge audience that was waiting to have a cathartic release watching a bunch of moms let loose on camera. In this film, you add to that the most complicated of all love stories which is between a mother and daughter.” Kristen Bell returns as Kiki. Four small children are enough to drive any mom crazy, and Kiki is no exception. Kiki is doing her best to find a balance between her child-rearing and spending “special” time with her husband. Says Bell, “Audiences can all relate to motherhood in some way. You either know a mom, are a mom, or have a mom. It’s a universal theme and the stress of motherhood particularly in this day and age is a lot.” 
THREE FRENCH HENS On why their threesome has resonated with audiences worldwide Hahn states,“ I had never met Mila or Kristen before Bad Moms. The only way I can describe it is that it is effortless. We each bring something to the band.” Bell continues on why the relationship works, “Kathryn, Mila and I are friends in real life, and we feel very safe with each other and are willing to try anything on screen.” Mila Kunis agrees, “We all find ourselves talking about our kids. We share stories on set of what we did with our kids, comparing notes, and that’s always a bonding moment.” Todd beams when she talks about her leading ladies, “I think we lucked out with the magic between the three of them. They’re all moms of little kids; they’re all young moms themselves, and they love each other. I think that came through onscreen, how truly supportive they are and how genuine their friendship is.” Kunis relates, “These movies have so much empathy towards the women in the world, whether you are a working mom, a stay at home mom, or a struggling mom that has it all. These movies allow you to realize you are not alone.” Hahn concludes, “Christmas is such a perfect time of the year for this movie to happen as so many women are out there making magic.” IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE COCKTAILS The filmmakers talked a lot with Mila, Kristen, and Kathryn about casting their moms because they wanted their moms to share the same prototypes of each of their own personalities. Kristen Bell enjoyed the process, “By introducing our mothers you see why we are who we are. And I think your parents can push your buttons because they installed your buttons.” Says Suzanne Todd, “Amy’s mom is very overbearing, Kiki’s mom has no boundaries, and Carla’s mom is pretty much the explanation for the way she is. We talked directly to our leading ladies about what actresses they thought may be a good fit to be their mom on this A Bad Moms Christmas journey.” The filmmakers intentionally wanted moms from different generations, and mother-daughter relationships that had different age gaps. This gave the filmmakers an opportunity to choose from the best actresses in Hollywood. Todd couldn’t be happier and claims they hit the casting lottery, “The nice thing for us is we had so many great actresses that wanted to be involved with A Bad Moms Christmas, as they had seen Bad Moms and loved the message - stress less and enjoy motherhood more. When we started talking about who would actually play the roles, it was even more exciting because there are so many actresses in that age group and category and we felt like we had a wealth to pick from.”
