Salty, 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.

Village Voice
A perfectly enjoyable way to spend 81 minutes.
60
A film that, for all its tinniness of craft and carelessness of storytelling, gets by on sheer force of personality.
55
Although the filmmakers return to outsize wackiness too frequently, the film mercifully isn’t one chaotic gag after another.

The 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.
