Not to be confused with "Bad Mom's Night Out". A Sophomoric Canadian 90 minute sit-com. Only the first 10 minutes are worth your time. Cable fodder. Our heroine seems to have the perfect family life, but her kids are driving her bonkers. An hour into the "film" she and two other longtime friends go on a girl's night and find out that the dizzy hostess made the reservation for the wrong Saturday, so they end up at the bowling alley. Every cliche I can possibly think of: The "clueless" dads. A slightly "wild" minister's daughter. A parakeet flies out of a car window. A missing child baby-sitted by a neighbor. A tattooed biker. Police station capers. Hard to watch as it is so ADHD and jumpy in nature. It tries way too hard to be funny and is exhausting to watch. I couldn't get through it and had to skip to the ending. It's supposed-to-be a "Christian" movie, but I missed that. Not a bad comic car chase, however. I didn't really like 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.

I was not interested in this till I saw 'Bad Moms'. A very similar film, but it came first. The Erwin brothers directed it, the ones who made 'October Baby' which I loved it. This film was a slow starter, but once took off, it became non-stop. The entire first act has been just a build up, like how moms are suffering. After that, everything seems so adventurous. It's a one night tale and the plot was developed with a series of confusions. Silly and so random events, but mindlessly enjoyable.It all begins when three moms were introduced like how they're struggling to maintain the family, particularly the children. During the Mother's day, they decide to take off the night and have a relaxed dinner. But nothing goes according to their plan, and so their adventure begins when their car got stolen, followed by roaming around the city at all night. After all, every story has to end and how this one does was revealed in the remaining parts.The cast was the best thing I liked. The story was average, because most of the film was improvised than scripted. So some of the parts were funny, though you won't laugh loudly. The end should have been better, except that part the overall film was better than I thought, only entertainment wise. So I had a decent time with it and I can't say you would do the same, but definitely not bad to try once.6/10

Funny and fast-paced flick. My wife is a mother of three, and she asked me to stop the film a couple of times (we watched it at home) because she wanted to comment on how she related to the main character. Although I'm a staunch Christian, I usually don't care for Christian films. Too preachy. I've often lamented to my wife that they "beat you over the head with a Bible." This film has characters that are Christians, but that is more of a back story. If you are a mom, you'll probably love it, and dad's will enjoy it too. Good family entertainment. I did debate with myself as to whether to rate it a 7 or 8.
