I really enjoyed watching this movie. The mom had the guts to do what other moms only think about or dream about doing. Most families do not realize what they are doing to the mom and don't even care. Its so easy for the "at home" mom to be unappreciated.A lot more moms and wives should do exactly as this mom did. Not only did she teach the kids a lesson, but her husband too...I can understand why ANY mom or wife would want their whole family to watch this movie. Its just a shame that some people don't recognize themselves in this movie...The reason some people might not like this movie is because they DO see themselves in this movie and don't appreciate a mom who has the guts to do something.

I liked Moms on Strike! when I first watched it. And I liked it every other time that I've seen it. But I really wonder if it is realistic. I know for a fact in my family, I could never treat my mother the way Pam's family treats her. I could never throw my dirty laundry at her and demand that she wash it, not shrink it. I could never scream at mom and tell her to clean up the mess the dog made. I could never, EVER tell my mom that she looked terrible in comparison to my friend's mom. And I know a lot of people who could never do that to their mother as well. In my family, I do my own laundry, I help make my brothers' and sister's breakfast and lunch, I take care of the family pets, with no one else's help. My mom does her share, but I do my share as well. We all do. Apparently, in Pam's family, none of her kids had to lift a finger or had daily chores to do. Her daughter, Jessica, has no respect, her sons don't know how to clean up after themselves, and her husband lives in his own little world without any knowledge to how his family is run. Realistic? Who knows? Maybe my family is the weird family.Of course, Pam was the perfect mother, and she certainly had every reason to go on strike. She was a real mother, but I don't think her family was real at all.

I really enjoyed this movie. The main idea: The mom (Faith Ford) is treated like crap by her family, and goes on strike to prove a point. I found the acting very good, especially Sarah Gadon (Jessica). She was very convincing! Nice ending, very good all in all. 3 1/2 of 4

I really felt that this movie was good. It was honest, displaying what moms do in and ouit every day, and it proved to us that sometimes they need more help than they ask for. I now have a new-found respect for my mommy, and I think that after watching this you will too. I especially enjoyed the convincingness of the Jessica, because everyone watching it with me just hated her guts and I can tell that maybe that that young actress has a career ahead of her. Bottom line: great to watch with your mum, and afterwards give her a BIG hug and kiss.
