When three overworked and under-appreciated moms are pushed beyond their limits, they ditch their conventional responsibilities for a jolt of long overdue freedom, fun, and comedic self-indulgence. From director and writers Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, the film stars Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn, Annie Mumolo, Jay Hernandez, Jada Pinkett Smith and Christina Applegate. This film treats motherhood and women in crisis in an entertaining comedy. Despite some scenes are pure sexism, is clear our modern women have several issues including discipline/behavior. Definitely the cast are the best representatives of female-centered comedy. The main characters genuinely understand of real girls night out with justification. This film might not be perfect, but makes you laugh in some situations, particularly for specific sexual jokes but at the end entertains you in many senses.

As the IPO draws closer, Naomi sees that the choices she has made for her career have left her very much alone. Forced to reexamine the rules of the cutthroat world she has always loved she finds herself in a fight for her very survival. During 100 minutes the main character suffers the worst financial sector of the economy and part of the plot reminds us all the corrupted practices in this field.

By Jenny A.
During 101 minutes the emotional sci-fi romance from acclaimed director Drake Doremus (Like Crazy), Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult play Nia and Silas, two people who work together in a futuristic society known as “The Collective.” A seemingly utopian world, “The Collective” has ended crime and violence by genetically eliminating all human emotions. Despite this, Nia and Silas can’t help noticing a growing attraction between them, leading them to a forbidden relationship—at first tentative, but then exploding into a passionate romance. As suspicion begins to mount among their superiors, the couple will be forced to choose between going back to the safety of the lives they have always known, or risk it all to try and pull off a daring escape. Directed by Drake Doremus, this film describes one of the weirdest romance which many feelings are suppressed in terms of in terms of vision. Stewart is skilled at expertly conveying much in even the smallest of gestures and love must be emotionless despite some passionate scenes. Definitely this story wraps you up.
