Get ready to laugh like a Mother **#*#*#^^


synopsis: Amy (Mila Kunis) has a great husband, overachieving children, beautiful home and successful career. Unfortunately, she's also overworked, exhausted and ready to snap. Fed up, she joins forces with two other stressed-out mothers (Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn) to get away from daily life and conventional responsibilities. As the gals go wild with their newfound freedom, they set themselves up for the ultimate showdown with PTA queen bee Gwendolyn and her clique of seemingly perfect moms.
Release date: July 29, 2016 (USA)
Directors: Jon Lucas, Scott Moore
Distributed by: STX Entertainment
Production company: PalmStar Media


I couldn't wait to see this movie and it did not disappoint. It's funny as ****.  It's a story of every day life struggles, a deep look into how petty women can be to each other sometimes, dives into the challenges we all experience raising children, and a love story all in one.

I love that it shows what I've always felt ~~  we are all "Bad Moms" in our own way. No matter how how we try, it's impossible to be perfect at raising children.  I don't know about you but sometimes I feel like I don't know what the hell I'm doing. The moral of the story is sometimes it's okay to slow down and do something for yourself you know, be society's definition of a bad mom.  Unknown to most, in the end it may make you a better mom.

If you are not offended by crude sexual humor and LOTS of explicit language this is a MUST watch. Needless to say NOT for children, we can't let them know our secrets. My husband and I are outnumbered we can't have the children know we're winging it.

The entire theater was filled with laughter scene after scene.  Lots of well know stars and each character brings their own charm, wit, and humor to the movie.  And they all deliver a great Mother #%#58** performance.

KNOCK KNOCK in theaters and On Demand on October 9th. 
Written by Lionsgate

I've been a long time fan of Keanu Reeves. I was hooked since Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure  but I haven't seen many films from him lately. When I saw the plot of Knock Knock I figured why not give it a shot. 

There is nothing scary about two beautiful girl's knocking on your door right? Well Evan Webber soon learned different.  Knock Knock is more of a psychological thriller than actual thriller but still pretty freaky. Although it's not a scream at every turn movie,  it is an edge of your seats waiting to see what happens type of movie. 

Knock Knock gets 4 stars from me. I watched until the end with anticipation. I was not bored or uninterested at any part. I actually could not anticipate the next move at some point in the movie.  Great date movie,  but I don't know that you'll be grabbing him and holding him close in fear.

Producers: Drew Dowdle, David Lancaster, Michel Litvak


I was excited to watch No Escape I like Owen Wilson and the trailer looked amazing.  The movie is not what I expected. It was a B movie (what I call low budget) although it somewhat kept my attention it is not an action packed edge of the seat movie.

It's a totally predictable movie but at some point I didn't even care to guess what would happen next. It made no difference to me.

I would give it a 2 out of 5 stars and recommend waiting until it comes out on DVD. It's not a rush to watch type of movie.
