As a Gen-X mom, which is clearly the target audience, I wanted to like it. But the overly done millennial obsession with drugs wrecked the entire thing. Seriously wanted to like it but ugh! Just missed the mark. Sorry, try again.
Just realize what bothered me the most about this movie. Thee women are in the late 49s, early 50s. WAY too old to be moms of preschoolers. Grandmothers maybe..... course you can't find a funny cast in the early to mid 30s, Gen Z has NO sense of humor.
Plot summary
Four women, whose kids attend the same preschool class, get together for a "fun mom dinner". When the night takes an unexpected turn, these unlikely new friends realize they have more in common than just marriage and motherhood.

Not one to be remembered at all
'Fun Mom Dinner' isn't very good. I'll admit it still beat my expectations - it isn't cringe or awkward, it just doesn't have any humour to it which is a big negative for a comedy.
The lead cast of Toni Collette, Molly Shannon, Bridget Everett and Katie Aselton are all fine, though I don't sense any real chemistry between them. They are also held back by the lack of funny moments. The characters of Adam Scott and Rob Huebel are kinda pointless, too.
Aside from all that, it also doesn't help that almost every other element to this is extremely predictable... a bit of intrigue would have went a long way. At least it's only a short production, which saves things from dragging out.
This is one to watch to pass some time, just not one to be remembered at all.
