You might not have known it, but “Fun Mom Dinner” played the Sundance Film Festival in January, and the distinct lack of buzz is probably telling. However, if you can’t wait until “A Bad Moms Christmas” to fill that sweet spot of ladies having a wild time, perhaps this’ll do the trick.
Toni Collette, Molly Shannon, Bridget Everett, and Katie Aselton come together for this familiar-sounding story of four Moms who take a break from their daily routine to have a night out, and, of course, things get out of hand.
“I wanted to take the experiences of being a mom and have it more front and center in a comedy than it had been prior to ‘Bad Moms,’ for sure. I think moms had been a stereotypical side joke in the comedies about guys, so I thought it would be fun to make a movie about moms, where the moms are having some fun. It was also important to me that they felt like real people and they felt like real moms and they were the right age to be the moms that they were. And I think that we pulled it off!” writer Julie Rudd told ET.
“Fun Mom Dinner” opens in theaters and hits VOD on August 4th.
