Comedy Four moms, whose only common ground is their kids' preschool class, get together for a harmless 'fun mom dinner.' When the night suddenly takes an unexpected turn, these unlikely new friends realize they have more in common that just marriage and motherhood. Together, they reclaim a piece of the women they used to be.

	Author	Review
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"[It] is a meal of savory appetizers, not hearty cuisine — it works (or occasionally doesn’t) on a moment-to-moment basis, and some of those moments are pretty damn tasty."	NEU
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"The actresses form one hell of a comedic partnership, but Alethea Jones' directorial debut is too scattered to stand out."	NEG
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"Salty, sweet and fun to chew over (...) The actors natural charm keeps the proceedings buoyant (...) Plotwise, it’s all a bit of a loosey-goosey, likeable shambles"	POS
United States	Derek Smith Slant	"The film is lazily content to simply put its female characters through the potty-mouthed, gross-out comedy ringer (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Kristen Yoonsoo Kim Village Voice	"A perfectly enjoyable way to spend 81 minutes (...) A familiar routine isn’t necessarily a bad one"	POS
