Overall Rating: Water
So good to see Funke Akindele in a different role than the usual Jenifa! Moms At War was more like Moms At Fight.
We didn’t see the rage, strife, or intense conflict that comes with women at war. It was a fine attempt that just required a stronger push at the pre-production stage

Delicious
—The kids, Bayo (Abayomi Alvin) and Amara (Adebukola Oladipupo), astonished us; they were so natural! They acted so babyishly despite being teenagers 😁
—After watching Moms At War, we knew for sure it was warning us about the danger of prejudices.
Ebere (Omoni Oboli) considered Olaide (Funke Akindele) to be a village woman who didn’t deserve to live in her upscale neighborhood. And that’s what set everything off. Nonetheless, she just needed to take time to know her. How many times have we not behaved like Ebere towards other people?😔
Bland
—Belonging to the comedy type, Moms At War was, unfortunately, not conceived with a hilarious feel. From the color grading, camera movements, dialogues, acting, art direction, costume design, to the directing, there was nothing done intentionally to amuse the audience.
The few comic segments appeared rather forced not having an organic humor
—We were more like spectators while watching the movie as it wasn’t pulling us into the story
