As with any terrible comedy, the biggest problem with Fun Mom Dinner is that it just isn't funny.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Sep 25, 2020

For a first time feature film from both Jones and Rudd, it's not a bad first outing.

| Nov 26, 2017

A perfect example of each of the steps followed by femenine comedy after the success of Bridesmaids, but with little variation. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 12, 2017

Talented cast can't save formulaic "Bad Moms"-lite comedy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2017

Stereotypes and contrived shenanigans don't seem to actually offer much catharsis for harried moms seeking escape. And the dads inevitably butt into their me-time.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 4, 2017

The familiar concept produces some scattered laughs, but it's neither edgy nor sincere enough to make an emotional impact.

| Aug 4, 2017

These are indeed moms, and they do have dinner, but the 'fun' part is in short supply.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 4, 2017

If a movie is going to tell the story of a wild and crazy night out on the town, the night on the town at least should be convincingly wild and crazy.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 4, 2017

It's predictable, but at least there are some surprise turns in what promised to be a strictly by-the-numbers road.

Psst. Have you heard? On big screens across the nation women are behaving badly, really badly.

The laughs and pacing of Fun Mom Dinner may be uneven, but days later I'm still smiling at the thought of the dispensary's recommended strain: the Ruth Bader Ganja, which "gets you supremely high." It's the little moments that matter here.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 3, 2017

It's ... undeniably disappointing when a movie called Fun Mom Dinner isn't, well, much fun.

| Original Score: C | Aug 3, 2017

While good company might make or break a night out, sadly it can't save "Fun Mom Dinner" from being more than just fitfully funny.

| Aug 3, 2017

While the comedy is sometimes broad, it avoids the need to humiliate its main characters or those around them.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 3, 2017

Jones maintains a Hughesian vibe and she's armed with eager thespians, arranging a mild romp that's meant to be a valentine to moms everywhere.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 2, 2017

What if you combined the premises of Bridesmaids and Bad Moms, but bled them dry of risque humor? This bland cocktail would be Fun Mom Dinner.

| Aug 2, 2017

A perfectly enjoyable way to spend 81 minutes.

| Aug 2, 2017

The film is lazily content to simply put its female characters through the potty-mouthed, gross-out comedy ringer.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 30, 2017

Fun Mom Dinner is as the name suggests, and it's one of those gifts you're supposed to give yourself once a day.

| Jun 15, 2017

Set in the sort of all-white suburbia that you rather hoped had disappeared years ago, Alethea Jones' comedy, written by Julie Rudd - both making their feature debut here - broadly goes where others have gone before.
