I was excited to see this movie, not just because it's about moms, but because I knew it was connected to the same people that brought us Fireproof, Courageous and Facing the Giants. All of which are amazing movies that you should check out immediately! Plus, I may or may not have been madly in crush with Sean Astin, when I was a kid (GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE!). The cast is pretty great: Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond), Sarah Drew (Grey's Anatomy), Trace Adkins, Alex Kendrick (Courageous, Facing the Giants) and Logan White. There are some of the usual faces from Kendrick movies as well.
Allyson (Sarah Drew), is a mother whose battery is seriously drained. Seeing this, her husband (Sean Astin), who is often away on business, encourages her to have a girl's night. Things get a little crazy after that! Missing cars, missing babies, bikers and cops... OH MY! It honestly reminded me a little bit of Adventures in Babysiting but with a Christian message laced through.
My favorite character is Bones (Trace Adkins) and honestly I was shocked because I've never been a fan of his but he was HILARIOUS! Dopey, crazy but able to drop some serious wisdom on you when you least expect it. They seriously could have made a movie just about him and I'd have been spellbound! Even if you only watch the movie for Bones, it's time well spent!
I didn't walk away from this movie feeling pumped up about my walk with God, like I felt with the other Kendrick movies I mentioned earlier. There was never that WOW moment. But it was enjoyable and it did make me laugh. Plus, anything I can actually watch with my entire family that isn't about animated animals singing in the forest is a good time to me!
Grab this movie on September 2nd, pop some popcorn and enjoy the family fun!
