'Fun Mom Dinner' isn't very good. I'll admit it still beat my expectations - it isn't cringe or awkward, it just doesn't have any humour to it which is a big negative for a comedy.

The lead cast of Toni Collette, Molly Shannon, Bridget Everett and Katie Aselton are all fine, though I don't sense any real chemistry between them. They are also held back by the lack of funny moments. The characters of Adam Scott and Rob Huebel are kinda pointless, too.

Aside from all that, it also doesn't help that almost every other element to this is extremely predictable... a bit of intrigue would have went a long way. At least it's only a short production, which saves things from dragging out.

This is one to watch to pass some time, just not one to be remembered at all.

Initially I must admit that I had expected a tad more laughs and all together enjoyable moments from the movie. That being said, don't get me wrong, I am not starting out by saying that "Fun Mom Dinner" is a bad movie. It just didn't fully live up to my expectations.

Yes, the movie was fun. Sure, it was. But it just wasn't fun enough to make you want to watch the movie a second time around. There were some genuinely funny situations to be experienced throughout the course of the movie, I will say that much. And that definitely counted in favor of the movie.

However, the storyline and plot told in "Fun Mom Dinner" just felt somewhat rushed and forced, which unfortunately meant that it gave way to some of the enjoyment of the movie.

The acting in the movie was good, and they had found some good actresses to perform as the leading roles, each bringing something unique to their movie and to their respective characters.

While "Fun Mom Dinner" is watchable, it is not as good as the "Bad Moms" movie was.

Surprisingly likable romp with a limited time setting that I just began because I wanting something watchable enough for a little bit but I ended up watching all the way through.

It's very familiar with its party of women in the second epoch of their lives reflecting on life and aging but they don't go into that much depth with it thank goodness. There isn't that much conflict really until they manufacture some toward the end just to make it feel like a movie. They don't really earn the sentimental display of friendships formed with Toni Colette's Ice queen character cracked a bit too easily (she is so much better here than in Hereditary, she is comic actress for sure).

Strangely the most enjoyable parts are the asides with the fathers bonding over pointless conversations. This is one of those movies that really hits home that there is still a firm gender divide with "the moms" going out, doing exercise together, sort of like a class apart from men for some reason. If I were a woman would I be just like them?

Not exactly a gem but it wasn't a bad watch for a Sunday night.
