Christmas may have come and gone but a mother’s work is never done.
In celebration of A Bad Moms Christmas being released on Blu-ray and DVD on February 6, FANDOM sat down with Susan Sarandon and Cheryl Hines to get some advice (and a few warnings) about the power of being a parent.
Hines takes on the role of Kristen Bell’s mother, Sandy, in the film — a mom who smothers her daughter to the point of no return. (Sitting in her daughter’s bedroom in the dark and watching her make love to her husband, as a casual example.)
Meanwhile, Sarandon plays Isis — “like the terror organization” — the out-of-control, high-all-the-time mother of Kathryn Hahn’s character, Carla.
The women may be playing extreme roles, to say the least, but they still found things to relate to and appreciate about their characters.
Hines admitted that she may relate to her character a little too much, saying “I’m so in love with my daughter and my kids, I like to touch the hair and I do like to smell her.”
Sarandon says she actually admires “the fact that [Isis] not only survived this horrible beginning where she was basically feral and isn’t bitter.”
FANDOM also asked the superstars what lessons they learned from their own mothers about being a parent and what the worst part about being a mom is. Check out their hilarious answers in the video above, and grab your own copy of A Bad Moms Christmas now.
