Reviews
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Davis P Now if any of you have read any of my previous reviews, then you'll know that I typically don't care for Christian films, just because usually they are either cheesy (Courageous) or horribly offensive (Audacity, Gods not dead). Yes, moms night out is technically a Christian movie, having references to Jesus, and being written by Christian writers. Bit honestly it's just a funny comedy film, wouldn't have known it was a Christian movie if it wasn't for knowing who the writers are, and those couple references to Jesus. I really enjoyed Sarah drew (Radio) here, she plays the stressed out mom desperately in need of a girls night out very well. Patricia heaton (the middle) was probably my favorite here, she was hilarious as she always is in shows like the middle and everybody loves Raymond. The rest of the cast was alright. Alex Kendrick, as usual, just wasn't that good, I feel like maybe be tries, but here and in pretty all his movies, he just isn't that good of an actor. All in all, moms night out has funny moments, it's cute. It's not gonna win any awards for its writing or its acting, but if you're looking for a fun popcorn film to watch one night, maybe this is it. 7/10.
mnicci1 It seems as though the writers of this movie are trying to push their religious views on the world. I personally do not believe in God, maybe because I'm a Historian who knows when the Jewish god was invented, and do not like having religion pushed on me. I find it annoying. The story line was not believable, and the acting was not that great either. I believe the point the writers were trying to make was: Christians are good citizens and everyone else needs saving. The entire movie revolved around "God loves you" and going to church like a good, brain washed Christian. I couldn't sit through the movie, thank goodness it was on a premium movie channel and not a rental; otherwise, it would have been a waste of money otherwise.
janineb-48077 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.
Fellside Really enjoyed this movie, laughed so much out loud and recognised a lot of the little quips, it may the type of movie that churchgoers enjoy more as some of the situational humour is funny precisely because one recognises it. It was a fun family comedy and for its genre the best one I have seen for quite a long time. I think the one-ratings are not deserved, the editing was smooth, the gags and quips were funny for this kind of family comedy and there was enough depth In it to make it nice feel- good comedy. I have never reviewed a movie previously but use IMDb quite a bit for a movie reference. I enjoyed the movie so much even the second time that I looked up the IMDb rating afterwards , and was surprised to see a few very negative reviews about it and decided to give a fair assessment of it. It deserves a six or seven rating on IMDb and rating it one has much more to do with an agenda against movies portraying Christianity in anything other than a negative light, than it has to do with the movie really deserving a one.
