SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Perfect cast and a good story

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

RELEASED 2011 and directed by The Erwin Brothers, "Moms' Night Out" is a dramedy about three mothers in Birmingham (Sarah Drew, Patricia Heaton & Andrea Logan White) who go out on the town while their husbands & a friend watch the kids (Sean Astin, Robert Amaya & Kevin Downes). Alex Kendrick plays the pastor and Sammi Hanratty the teen daughter. Trace Adkins appears as a tough biker while David Hunt is on hand as a helpful cabbie. Andrea Logan White plays a friend of the three moms while Harry Shum Jr. appears as her ex-beau. This is a family friendly dramedy with a little edge and slight faith-based elements (limited to one comical church scene and one exchange at the end). The "inept dad" theme is tiresome and unrealistic (it seemed to me like the children lacked discipline). But there are some gems to mine, like the female lead being overwhelmed by her own doing. In short, she set an absurd standard for herself and labored under her self-imposed expectations.The church bathroom scene is hilarious. Have you ever had a meltdown over something trivial due to pent-up frustration and were embarrassed to discover that someone saw/heard you? There's another laugh-out-loud sequence when someone is innocently doing something, which is inadvertently telegraphed to a bunch of others, but offering the wrong impression.BOTTOM LINE: This is a fun movie with several genuinely humorous moments and a lil' bit of mind/spirit food. THE MOVIE RUNS 1 hours 38 minutes and was shot in Birmingham, Alabama, and Pelham, which is just South. WRITERS: Jon Erwin and Andrea Nasfell. GRADE: B

From the infamous Christian movie makers. It was religious anvil after religious anvil. For a film that is proclaiming mom needs a night out. Every plot point is to the contrary. Sad thing is, there is some real talented actors. But their gifts are squandered. My advice would be to skip it.

YES, the last 2 minutes of the movie is a religious Christian message. But this is only the last two minutes in the movie AND the movie is neither Christian nor has Christian values so to speak. In fact, this movie will disturb both Christian people and no religious people - last ones because of the message at the very end. This is why all negative reviews give it 1/10 which is obviously only a reaction, not an evaluation.Aka The Hangover for parents. Yes this movie is not perfectly done like the Hangover, but it has such realistic and sarcastic touches, it is a pleasure for open minded parents and young couples.This movie was down voted by a Hollywood politically correct fan people. Like chasing a minivan full with kids or putting the teaser on Pastor's 'perfect' wife is not going to please plastic people. No, it's neither that caricaturist, gross or irreverent type of comedy movie . It is just an honest unconventional type of movie that we would all watch if the Hollywood wouldn't exist.Oh and the acting is sparkling and well mastered: very fresh.

This is supposed to be a 'Christian' movie, yet it degrades man and woman, the concept of marriage and parenthood. The full grown men are complete wimps playing video games and afraid of their own children and the women are work-o-holics who are barely able to survive under the stress of a miserable life. Watching this movie disgusted the thought of marriage and I'd rather be dead than have this as my destiny. It displayed men as pathetic and motherhood as awful. The sad thing in society is that the men actually are not stepping up to the plate and that the women are normally total feminists doing both the man's job and the woman's. Traditional marriage is under attack and this is a sour joke of it. It was too relatable. We should be striving to what is traditional and good, not making a mockery of it. (sure the mom's were hard workers, but being a stay-at-home mom shouldn't be absolute hell, it should be a normal and wonderful thing.)The focus too, should be on men being MEN, not boys. (aren't they supposed to be the leaders? Why are the women doing everything? Why is their lives awful?) Poor portrayal of what should be good. Some parts were funny, but it overall was sad.
