User Reviews

Just OK at best

I have just watched Moms' Night Out with my family as it is one of the very few recently released comedies which has a PG rating suitable for our young ones...

Firstly, I didn't know prior to watching that this was a Christian movie, and if I had known, I doubt I would have watched it. Religion is not my thing.

Secondly, I still didn't realize this was a Christian movie until around two thirds of the way through, and while making me feel a little uncomfortable, as I had invested the time in it and the family seemed to be enjoying it, I stuck with it.

To be honest it was OK, not fantastic, I doubt I'll watch it again, but I have seen much worse. It had a few laughs here and there, and the acting was OK. I gave the movie a 5, it passed away 90 minutes and I didn't feel too robbed at the end as both the wife and kids seemed to enjoy it. But don't go off the 10/10 reviews it's been getting as this isn't Airplane, not by a long shot.....
