All Allyson and her friends want is a peaceful, grown-up evening of dinner and conversation . . . a long-needed moms' night out. But in order to enjoy high heels, adult conversation and food not served in a bag, they need their husbands to watch the kids for a few hours-what could go wrong? Moms' Night Out is an endearing, true-to-life family comedy.

The driving point of the story? Life with kids is chaos. The moral of the story? It's all good! Moms' Night Out explores the crazy world of parenthood and what happens when one fed-up mother leaves it all behind for a night of good times away from the kids and in the company of her two best friends. What could possibly go wrong? How about everything? Moms' Night Out is a proverbial "kitchen sink" Comedy in which anything that can go wrong does go wrong, and then more insanity is piled on top for good measure. Beyond the madness is a basic story about an inner search for one's center and whether that center revolves around the kids -- and all the headaches that come with them -- or one's own well-being away from the family, all of which is lightly wrapped in minor spiritual undertones. This is a Christian movie in the same vein as something like Finding Normal, a movie that revolves around God-focused characters and messages that only rarely play an integral part of the story. Otherwise, it's a pretty straight, family-friendly, zany comedy that only really suffers because it just gets too big for its britches.
Stressed.
Moms' Night Out arrives on Blu-ray with a high end 1080p transfer. It's everything viewers would expect from a new release Comedy. It produces strong, natural colors throughout the entire spectrum, both in well lit interiors and nighttime exteriors alike. Details are sharp and satisfying. Every inch of the frame is robustly clear and accurate, from up-close facial and clothing lines to background details in a restaurant or out on the city street. Black levels are stable and flesh tones appear normal. Light banding is visible around bright light sources, such as a lamp or the sun, but this is otherwise an expert, eye-catching transfer from Sony.
Moms' Night Out features the Sony-standard DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless soundtrack. The presentation offers light music appropriate to the genre and audience. It's airy and nicely spaced, enjoying top-end clarity and a healthy, but not overwhelming, surround support structure. The track produces a good bit of background ambience in several locations, including an arcade and a restaurant, with heavier atmospheric elements and musical beats during a few sequences inside a loud bowling alley. Several one-off sound effects prove big and focused, like a jet rumbling across the stage. Mostly, however, this is a dialogue intensive picture and Sony's track produces the spoken word with an effortlessness and grace befitting the format.
Moms' Night Out contains a commentary, deleted scenes, and several featurettes. A UV Digital Copy code is included in the case.
Moms' Night Out isn't terrible --it's enjoyable in total -- but it could have been so much better. Here's a movie that just goes the distance in making things as chaotic as possible, and in that chaos it loses part of its charm and focus. The purpose is clear -- it's never in doubt -- and the ending can be seen coming from the beginning. Yet it's nicely acted and comes armed with a good little message about why everyone is here and where they are and doing whatever it is they're doing, no matter how stressful it might be. It's a Christian film that's light on preachy moments and fit for the entire family. Sony's Blu-ray release of Moms' Night Out features strong video and audio. A nice little collection of extras are included. Recommended for family movie night.
