Wuchak 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

kz917-1 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.

kikiribooh Very funny movie, I love the way the story is told from a pre k mom's perspective. Very true how most stay at home moms feel and overwhelm. Really enjoyed watching with the family, clean enough to watch it with kids. Some parts were a little cliché like the car chasing but overall it was originally and funny enough. I think Marco's character stole the movie.

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.
