Allyson (Sarah Drew) is an over-stressed mother to three children with Sean (Sean Astin). She has reached her breaking point. When Sean is late getting home from a business trip on Mother's Day, he finds her in the closet eating chocolate and watching a bald eagle on the computer as it guards it's nest in real time. He realizes that she is near the end of her rope and encourages her to round up her friends and have a night on the town. She invites her best friend Izzy (Andrea Logan-White) who is stressed herself since she just found out she is pregnant again. They also invite Sondra (Patricia Heaton) who is the pastor's wife and somewhat of a role model to Allyson and Izzy. Things go from bad to worse as their dinner reservation is lost, their car is (kinda) stolen and Sean's sister's baby goes missing at a tattoo parlor. With the help of an insane taxi driver from England and Bones (Trace Adkins), the owner of the tattoo parlor, the women try to track down the baby and end up in jail. After everything is resolved and with a few words of wisdom from Bones, Allyson ends up with a whole new outlook on life.

This movie starts out a little shaky. As the plot is set up, everything seems a little chaotic and cheesy. However, by the middle of the movie, it gets pretty funny. There are some laugh out loud moments and if you have kids, you will probably relate. This movie will not be liked by the critics but it is a perfect family-friendly movie with a Christian theme. You can feel safe taking the kids and laughing at the wackiness of the movie. Just go and have fun.
