Moms' Night Out (2014)

When I sat down to watch this movie, I really didn't know what to expect. As it went on, I was pleasantly surprised at a movie that was in my mind a "G" rated movie that I truthfully enjoyed from start to finish. A rare family movie that is hard to find today's world. Moms and dads can let their children watch "Mom's Night Out" and everyone will enjoy it. A movie that rings true for any mom with young children who is feeling stagnant and just craves some justification in her life and needs a night out with the girls for some good, clean fun. Unfortunately, Allyson (Sarah Drew), Sondra, the preacher's wife (Patricia Heaton) and Bridget (Abbie Cobb) and Izzy (Andrea Logan) find themselves in a big jam and through many mishaps everything works out. In the end, Allyson finally feels content in her life and writes her blog with the insight that's what she was hoping for. A must watch.

Fmovies: I haven't walked out of a movie in who knows when, maybe not ever before this. I feel like now I need to take a break from watching movies for a while, it was that awful. Poor little rich girl gains no audience sympathy and continues to whine throughout (at least until the middle when I could not take it any longer). This felt like a huge piece of propaganda for a megawhitechurch. I am white and was offended by how white and whiny this movie is. Jokes are so forced to be painful. Plot is so forced that it makes you want to whine as much as these very annoying women. But they whine so much that you will never want to again. Very little believability even by a fine actor like Sean Astin. This definitely does not even do a good job propagandizing. Steer clear!

First, I don't mind raunchy. But I appreciate clean because I can see it with kids and my folks.

A good clean comedy is awesome. And I don't mind faith message movies. I believe in God, just not active in any religion/church.

After seeing this movie I thought about some of the African American oriented movies I have seen and they always deal with religion and faith in a way more organic and interesting way.

So this movie is a bit less subtle about religion. OK. that would have been fine if it would actually have been FUNNY.

this is a not funny movie that but is is safe for your churchy family. bummer. I would rather watch paint dry while I knit.

Moms' Night Out fmovies. Where to begin? This film is just so awful. It is a Christian values film at its core, which isn't for everyone. No, that isn't why the film is so bad. It's bad because every single joke falls flat, none of the characters are interesting or likable, and the scenarios they find themselves in are simply ridiculous. But the worst part is that the film continually perpetuates the "hysterical female" stereotype through the actions of its three female leads. Throughout the film, none of the women can keep it together, and instead turn into screaming, out of control, weeping, needy balls of mush every time something, really anything, doesn't go their way. For example, the main character has an aggressive nervous breakdown in a restaurant and makes such a disturbance that she gets kicked out. Why was she so upset? Simply because she made reservations for the wrong day. Really?! Another example is when the three women have to go to the police station to pick up family members. They come stomping in, scream at the duty officer, scream over each other, ignore the officer's commands to calm down, and then force their way to the back of the station. Not surprisingly, one of the women gets tasered and all three are arrested. I could go on and on. So how does God fit into all of this? Well the women seem to think that God wants them to be hysterical and out of control. As the main character says at the end with a big smile on her face - God made her to be a mess. Apparently God wants this film to be a mess too, and He should be pleased with just how much of a mess it is.

In short, it's a very good movie.

I don't know why most critics here, don't like the God-factor in a movie. It is nothing like other lame comedies which rely solely on sex-related jokes.

It shows the stress our moms faced, with 'you are the best when you are yourself' kind of thing.

"Sarah Drew" is a really great actor. This is her first movie that I have seen and I must say, I want to see more.

Summary: Good comedy with very nice acting and a movie which you can totally see with your family.

The critics got it right. The movie is awful.

Having a popular star like Patricia Heaton in this movie is not enough to save it. The mothers and fathers depicted in this movie are mostly idiots and should never have had children. The script wouldn't have been approved for an ABC afternoon special because it's so poor.

My wife and I went to see the movie because the 17 user reviews available at the time on IMDb gave the movie an 8 or above with accolades like: "Love this movie," "Perfect Mother's Day Fun," "Funniest movie I have seen in a long time," and "Greatest Movie Ever Made." Don't believe any of these reviews. Having seen the movie, it's clear to me that the reviewers had an ulterior motive.

My history teacher in college, when announcing the next test date, would always preface his remarks with "I know a word to the wise is foolish." This was generally aimed at those who would put off studying for the test until the last minute. Well, being foolish, I would like to offer a word to the wise which I failed to follow when considering this movie. For movies you are unsure you would like, don't trust a very positive or very negative review on IMDb unless you at least scan all of that user's reviews. This will give you an idea where the user is coming from; if his/her tastes agree with yours; and whether there are any ulterior motives in posting the review.

If a film has been absolutely panned on Metacritic, like this one was, be careful about selecting to go to that movie in the theaters. IMDb is generally a good source of what the users say. The operative word is "generally." In this instance it was not.

My review was a warning that this movie is not worth seeing. The fact that only 2 of 13 users so far found this warning helpful offers another clue about how IMDb reviewers can have an agenda. Who were the 11 people who found that my warning was not helpful? Are they the same people who find stop signs annoying or could they possibly be the same people who wrote the overwhelming positive reviews of this movie.
