Moms' Night Out (2014)

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

OK, so when I put the movie in and saw all these trailers for faith based movies I said to myself.. oh no.. what did I do (as Im not a religious person) and the PG rating came up I almost turned it off. but I did end up watching this movie the whole way through and I can say its not bad. If you know someone who is religious.. they will like this movie. It has faith based overtones but wasn't in your face the whole movie. There was a particularly touching scene with Trace Adkins and The lead female that made me smile.

The title seems fun. I picked this movie because I wanted to laugh and relax. The first 10-15 minutes was nice, I did enjoy it. Then the story started getting more and more cliché!!! Additionally, way too much Christian religious preaching that killed this movie even more! I was in pain watching the 2nd half of the movie. I'm getting over a cold, however, after finishing this movie, I wanted to vomit... I give it 2 out of 10, besides the beginning, because I'm a spiritual person, but I don't like to get preached at again, again, and again. Sorry! It could be a fun movie with just one or two Christian religious preaching lines and less cliché. Thanks!

I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely film. Mom's Night Out tells the story of a Christian family with three young children. The movie focuses in on the parent's (especially the mom's) difficulties with parenting. With such a boring-sounding scenario, this film is quite a surprise, with plenty of hilarious predicaments and characters. One of the most refreshing aspects of this movie is that it is a Christian film, but it doesn't feel like they're ramming the religious message down anyone's throats. In fact, the religious themes tend to stay in the background. The actors do a superb job, the writing is clever, and the relatable, real-life experiences these characters face will strike a chord with everyone. I do personally think this film goes downhill a bit in the middle section (the circumstances seem a bit unrealistic, and a few characters fall into stereotypes), but I honestly can't complain too much. I would highly recommend this movie to just about anyone, especially families with kids.

I really enjoyed this film. It holds it's own against the variety of Sandler-esque family comedies out there. Only it contains none of the slapstick comedic schticks that those movies pull. It's a genuinely funny movie that portrays an image of good, wholesome parenting, paired with our own limitations. Instead of depicting parents who need to exist like single, unattached beings despite their kids' existence (yes, Grown Ups, I'm looking at you) it tells a story of people who need to learn to adapt to their somewhat uncertain, constantly chaotic family lives. Instead of men getting punched and knocked in the groin, this movie employs the classic series of misunderstandings and assumptions as it's comedic device and drive. Were the men blundering fools? Yes! But the stereotype was watered down a lot in this film. All in all, I really enjoyed it. And I laughed- a lot. For the genre in which it finds itself, feminist argument is highly inappropriate, as the myriad of its contemporaries exploit the female sexuality a lot more than this film. It was actually refreshing to see a movie that didn't view over-sexualising the female body as a form of women's liberation.
