FUN MOM DINNER

Cinemavixion Review

Alethea Jones directs "Fun Mom Dinner," a 2017 comedy that explores the unexpected camaraderie that can blossom between disparate women united by motherhood. Starring a capable ensemble including Katie Aselton, Toni Collette, and Bridget Everett, the film follows four mothers from their children's preschool class who decide to have a night out to reconnect with their pre-parental selves. What begins as a potentially awkward evening, fueled by wine and gossip, evolves into a night of karaoke and shared experiences, highlighting the universal desire for connection and self-discovery beyond domestic roles. While the film received a mixed reception, with a 5.3/10 on IMDb and 35% on Rotten Tomatoes, it offers a relatable, albeit lighthearted, take on female friendships and the challenges of maintaining personal identity amidst the demands of family life. The presence of Adam Levine as a cute bartender adds a touch of unexpected charm to the proceedings.
