Review of Moms' Night Out (2014) by Sanityoverrated — 21 Sep 2014

Have to confess - maybe I am weird but I enjoyed this movie. Contary to some of the more "professional" critics; I get it. I've been in the big girl world; had a business to run and recieved kudos (& bumps/bruises) that go with that world.

BUT there is nothing like the (to borrow a 50's term) pink ghetto. Where roles are not as clearly defined; right & wrong are a little hazy (not to mention crazy) some days and you would sell the contents of your entire house for 5 minutes of peace & quiet.

Am I a homeschooling mom - nope - but I know that the situations depicted here can & do happen - ask any cop, medical personnel, or pastors family of which I have experience in all 3 areas. Many times truth is stranger than fiction.

This movie delievers some powerfulful messages - loved Bones & the very subtle don't judge by apperances. Loved the mom blogger - I've been there & survived & yes -there were many days (&nights) where that was in question (any sane mom/dad that denies this is definitely high on the weird side).

Loved the pastor's wife - she expresses some real fears & a couple of interesting observations. The single mom - good job - never a good idea to get between her & her baby. Major thanks to all who dealt with this subject in such an intelligent and respectfull way.

Knowing you would be flogged by critics yet trusting the people who are there & have been there to validate the humor & content of this movie was a wise move.
