- 70The Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinThe Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinSalty, sweet and fun to chew over — sort of like taffy, but not so hard on the dental work — Fun Mom Dinner is a palatable addition to that growing subgenre of bawdy, female-centric comedies.
- 70Village VoiceKristen Yoonsoo KimVillage VoiceKristen Yoonsoo KimA perfectly enjoyable way to spend 81 minutes.
- 55TheWrapTricia OlszewskiTheWrapTricia OlszewskiAlthough the filmmakers return to outsize wackiness too frequently, the film mercifully isn’t one chaotic gag after another.
- 50Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenAustin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenThe laughs and pacing of Fun Mom Dinner may be uneven, but days later I’m still smiling at the thought of the dispensary’s recommended strain: the Ruth Bader Ganja, which “gets you supremely high.” It’s the little moments that matter here.
- 50The A.V. ClubKatie RifeThe A.V. ClubKatie RifeWhile there is plenty of drinking and a fair amount of drugs (just pot though, let’s not go crazy), the overall effect is more akin to passing out on the couch at 9 p.m. than partying until dawn.
- 40Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersLos Angeles TimesKimber MyersThis raunchy, female-driven comedy should be able to rely on the strength of its cast, but even the collective talents of Katie Aselton, Toni Collette, Molly Shannon and Bridget Everett aren’t enough to make the movie worth a babysitter’s hourly rate.
- 40The New York TimesNicole HerringtonThe New York TimesNicole HerringtonAll four actresses have a natural chemistry and manage to give some inner dimensions to these otherwise archetypal characters.
- 38Slant MagazineDerek SmithSlant MagazineDerek SmithThe film is lazily content to simply put its female characters through the potty-mouthed, gross-out comedy ringer.
- 33The Film StageDan MeccaThe Film StageDan MeccaDespite a stacked cast and some impressive physical comedy, this film slips into ridiculousness without the laughs to back it up.
