The red-band trailer for Bad Moms takes motherhood to some raunchy places

Mila Kunis has taken on a variety of roles over the last few years, from an aspiring ballet dancer in the Oscar-nominated Black Swan to the savior of the planet in the sci-fi adventure Jupiter Ascending. Her latest role, however, might be her most heroic.

In the upcoming, raunchy comedy Bad Moms, Kunis plays an overworked mother who decides to reject the overly restrictive, judgmental culture of motherhood and live life to the fullest — which apparently involves boozy parties, fast cars, and wild parties in the heart of suburbia. STX Entertainment has released a pair of trailers — one approved for general audiences, and one an R-rated, red-band preview — that offer a peek at the raunchy comedy from the duo that gave the world The Hangover.

Written and directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, who penned the script for 2009’s The Hangover and both wrote and directed the 2013 comedy 21 & OverBad Moms casts Kunis as the stressed-out mother who joins two other moms played by Kristen Bell (Forgetting Sarah MarshallVeronica Mars) and Kathryn Hahn (The Secret Life of Walter MittyHow to Lose a Guy in 10 Days) in rebelling against the status quo for moms.

Along with Kunis, Bell, and Hahn, the film also features Christina Applegate (Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy) as PTA president Gwendolyn, as well as Jada Pinkett-Smith (Gotham), Annie Mumolo (Bridesmaids), and Emjay Anthony (Krampus) in supporting roles.

You can watch the red-band trailer for Bad Moms below, but be warned: It definitely earns it R rating.

Bad Moms arrives in theaters July 29, 2016.

If you have to watch one movie this Christmas, stream this one right now
Two men carry a present in This is Christmas.

There's no shortage of worthwhile Christmas movies out there. Do you want to go back in time and relive your '90s Christmas memories? Then Disney+ has the Home Alone and The Santa Clause movies. Craving some scares to go along with those gingerbread men? Then you should watch Black Christmas on Tubi. Action fans have Die Hard and Netflix's Carry-On, and fans of so-bad-they're-good Xmas movies have Hallmark movies to indulge in.

Last year, I discovered a new addition to my usual rotation of must-watch Christmas movies: This is Christmas. A co-production between Sky Cinema and MGM+, the 2022 British film is a low-key charmer, an unabashedly sentimental and optimistic movie with the sole purpose of lifting your spirits. It does just that, and that's really all you can ask for in a quality holiday movie.

There have been plenty of critically acclaimed mainstream movies released in theaters and on streaming this year. There have, however, also been just as many great movies unveiled throughout this year that have unfortunately failed to capture any level of widespread audience attention. With that in mind and, given that there are fewer than two weeks to go before this year comes to an end, now seems like as good a time as any to look back at some of those 2024 movies and give them the second chance at breakthrough success that they deserve.

So, without any further ado, here are 10 underrated films that you probably missed this year.

The 10 best movies to watch on Christmas 2024

There are no rules that say you have to watch a Christmas movie on Christmas. But it is absolutely the best time to watch Christmas movies, or at least Christmas-adjacent films. These stories don't tend to play the same way in March as they do in December. Plus, Christmas films have the added benefit of being family-friendly selections ... for the most part. Some Christmas action movies are probably best left for older viewers.

This year's selections for the 10 best movies to watch on Christmas are available on most of the major streamers, and include new films mixed with some older titles. Not every selection below is strictly Christmas-related, but they all share the Christmas spirit in one way or another.
