I created an account just so I could balance out the glorious reviews. I think I see what the creators of Mom's Night Out were trying to do, but they failed miserably.
Like a previous reviewer mentioned, every single character was a caricature, even the kids! A mom pulling into a church parking lot is going to let her 4 year old apply her mascara simply because she threw a fit? Give me a break. How about having the mascara messed up because she kept getting her seat bumped by active kids? That would have been realistic and provided the same results. And there is a way to show Dads out of their element without turning them into morons. I think Michael Keaton managed that quite successfully in Mr. Mom.
As a mom I was looking forward to seeing this movie with my husband. But at the end of the night I felt like I got cheated out of a Mom's Night Out.
