Fun Mom Dinner

I wasn't too sure about watching this movie, but it was everything I wanted Bad Moms to be...it might have to do with the age of the actresses, the cool 80's teen movie music choices, Jake Ryan references, and Toni Collette. If you were a teen or tween when Pretty in Pink came out, and have kids now, I think you'll appreciate this as the fun film it is.

This film tells the story of four mothers, who are not best friends until they go for a dinner together, away from their children and husbands. It has been a long time since they have had fun, and they make full use of their valuable break from domestic duties.

"Fun Mom Dinner" wants to be another "Bad Moms", but I guess it has not worked as magically as planned. The jokes are not that funny, and the characters are not very sympathetic. The two fathers having a heart to heart talk in the backyard is actually more interesting to watch than the mothers who enjoy themselves. I guess the things these mothers do are a bit too ordinary, and not raunchy or outrageous enough for a comedy.

Good comedy .... These all female cast movies usually feel similar but overall a good movie. With the cast doing a good job and enjoyable in the end.

I give a movie a chance all the way through,before deciding on it.. Had relatable parts but,bottomline 10% was enjoyable. Won't be something,to watch again. Although it did have,some decent cast members.

'Fun Mom Dinner' isn't very good. I'll admit it still beat my expectations - it isn't cringe or awkward, it just doesn't have any humour to it which is a big negative for a comedy.

The lead cast of Toni Collette, Molly Shannon, Bridget Everett and Katie Aselton are all fine, though I don't sense any real chemistry between them. They are also held back by the lack of funny moments. The characters of Adam Scott and Rob Huebel are kinda pointless, too.

Aside from all that, it also doesn't help that almost every other element to this is extremely predictable... a bit of intrigue would have went a long way. At least it's only a short production, which saves things from dragging out.

This is one to watch to pass some time, just not one to be remembered at all.
