Senior Julia Rennie recently went to see the newest Christmas movie,  A Bad Moms Christmas which was released November 1, 2017, and she was not impressed. “The movie tried too hard to be funny and that made it really bad,” Rennie said. “I had really high expectations going into the movie since the original Bad Moms was really funny.”   

As Christmas is approaching, many Christmas classics are being watched on channels such as; 25 Days of Christmas on Freeform, the Hallmark Channel, or even Netflix.
