Movies speak to us in powerful way. Most of us can remember seeing Simba take back pride rock for the first time or the chill we got when we heard Elsa sing, "Let it Go" for the very first time. Well, I always want you to see this blog as being a place where it encourages you to watch family friendly movies. I'm bringing you one right now, Mom's Night Out.
This movie has just come out on DVD, Blu-Ray, and Redbox video within the last six weeks. It is the movie: Mom's Night Out!!!
Mom's Night Out is the humorous tale of Allyson (Sarah Drew, Grey's Anatomy), mom of three little ones, and her friends Sondra (Patricia Heaton), and Izzy as they embark on a rare but much anticipated mom's night out. The ladies leave their children in care of their husbands as they go out for the evening. Allyson's great plans are quickly derailed when their reservation is lost, the other ladies spend too much time on their cell phones, and when she discovers that her nephew is missing. Come join the fun with a great cast, lots of laughs, and a wonderful reminder that being a mom is truly one of the hardest but most rewarding jobs any woman could ever have.
This movie has much more than I described, because I want you to watch and enjoy for yourself. In terms of content and quality I would give the movie three out of five stars. The acting and quality of Christian movies has gone way up in the last five years. This movie is a great step in that direction. It won't be in the conversation during Academy award time, but it's a fun family movie that is appropriate for all ages. I would rate it 4.5 out of five stars in terms of family friendliness. There is no language, violence, or sexual issues at all in the movie. But, the characters do find themselves in places such as a tattoo parlor and police station.
