Very much intended as a celebration of motherhood.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 17, 2020

Being a mom is hard work. Having to sit through "Moms' Night Out" is even harder.

| Jan 24, 2019

One of those films you can't really hate on because it does try very hard to be likable.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 14, 2018

As a comedy, Moms' Night Out draws on a lot of different directing skills, yet the Erwins once again stay centered on the characters and their experiences.

| Apr 10, 2018

Moms' Night Out looks back nostalgically to a time when both gender roles and women's vaginas remained effortlessly tight.

| Original Score: F | Aug 24, 2017

I am not sure how [Mom's Night Out] is a Christian movie if we go by the Gospels that show Jesus comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable.

| Aug 10, 2017

Moms' Night Out seems, despite the technology, curiously dated and a leap backwards for moms.

| Original Score: C- | Jun 6, 2016

Only silly on the surface and examines more truth than some are willing to admit.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 5, 2014

It might be easier to appreciate the efforts of these women if they weren't so shrill and obnoxious, which sends the opposite of the intended message.

| Jun 30, 2014

Bland faith-based comedy supports traditional gender roles.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 16, 2014

Mom's Night Out is a movie only a mother could love.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 15, 2014

Less outrageously hilarious than it is predictably silly, if harmlessly so.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 14, 2014

...generally fares better than most of the heavy-handed endeavors that tend to populate this increasingly profitable subgenre...

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 13, 2014

If the concept of a moms' night out is premised on the notion that mothers can never get away for fear their families will collapse in their absence, then this movie cruelly confirms that fear.

| May 11, 2014

The entire thing is about all the crazy (but not too crazy) disasters that occur when mothers step away from the house for even a single night, let alone ever.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | May 11, 2014

Moms' Night Out is the kind of movie you can take your mother to without worrying that she'll get offended, and you can still have a good time with it.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 9, 2014

They aren't caricatures, per se, but in the behavior-reinforcing fashion of simple sitcom, we see an unflattering portrait of brittle, hostile, hustling, neurotic modern suburban control freaks. Who ought to listen to their man, and the Father.

| May 9, 2014

Ugly sexism in what's trying to be a harmless feature, pandering to the female audience with a mean-spirited attitude toward men and their habitual boobery.

| Original Score: D | May 9, 2014

What ensues is frenetic and never as funny as it should be because directing brothers Andrew and Jon Erwin are not skilled enough at pacing the action and varying the volume.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 9, 2014

Moms' Night Out is purposefully un-hip, but that doesn't keep it from trying to keep up with the times in ways that are so painfully, unconvincingly of the moment that they already feel dated.

| Original Score: 2.0/5 | May 9, 2014
