A Closer Look at Mom's Night Out
I know this isn't Dart related but I saw this movie today and it deserves a mention. I knew within the first 5 minutes it was gonna be a good movie.
Basically here's a summary;
A stressed out mom with 3 kids decides that she needs a night away from her crazy life. She's feeling like a failure as a mom because she sees other mom's around her that "have it all together." She takes a night out with 2 of her mom friends, both at different stages in "mommy-hood" and everything goes wrong almost immediately. It does follow the typical movie theme where everything works out in the end and she learns her lesson, but still worth watching.
Why I enjoyed it:
There was a comment made by the main character at the beginning of the movie that I found to be quite funny, and applied to my own life. She was talking about having a wonderful husband and great kids, and she has a minivan; she made the comment kind of sarcastically that she has a really nice minivan. I would be very sarcastic about having a minivan as well. I'm not a huge fan and hope to never trade in my compact, fun sized yet practical Dodge Dart for a mom van.
Later in the movie she thinks her minivan has been stolen, and she calls the police to report it stolen. They ask her to describe the vehicle and she said it was a minivan, with lots of stickers on the back including "My homeschooler is smarter than your honor student." She gets frustrated and says there's lots of stickers that she doesn't feel like going into because they're complicated. I also have a lot of stickers on my car, however none of my stickers talk about children, most are custom made for BabyRed, and I have a Dodge Minion, simple enough to explain if my car ever gets stolen.
The last reason I really enjoyed this movie was that it was Christian based. I didn't know it was a Christian based movie at first but as it goes on you can tell. It finishes strong with a good message, definitely a movie I will be watching again and recommending to my friends.
