Frequently Asked Questions

Do babies cry & will I be able to hear the film?

This is our #1 FAQ and the answer is YES to both questions. From time to time babies to cry, but that's the beauty of the event - it's ok if your little one cries too. Most babies settle down once the lights are out. There is a bit of gurgling in the audience and the most babies nod off to sleep. The movies screened are generally of lighter fare such as romantic comedies and dramas for the most part.

What if my baby cries?

If your baby cries - you're among sympathetic friends! The theatre is dark so chances are your baby will eventually fall asleep. If he or she starts to cry effusively, we suggest you step out into the lobby for a few minutes, but then you're a parent - you'll know what to do.

What is the Best Age for Little Film Critics to Attend?

Movies For Mommies recommends that Moms and Dads with infants from 0-18 months come to the show, but we leave it to each parent's discretion. Some of our critics are as young as 7 days old. However the movies are for YOU to enjoy. We don't card babies at the door, and we want to cultivate a love of movies from a young age, but if your baby has reached the stage where he or she is squirming or moving around, you won't get the most out of the Movies For Mommies experience.

I've got an Infant and a Toddler - Can I Bring Both of Them?

Movies For Mommies won't turn anyone away. But keep in mind the movies we screen are for adults - these aren't kids films. If you feel your toddler would sit through the movie, or it's his or her nap time, then bring them with you. Our suggestion: If you have a group of friends with kids, form a rotating weekly toddler- sitting schedule so the rest of you can come to the movie.

Can my Friend Come With Me Even if He/She Doesn't Have a Baby?

What would a movie be if you couldn't enjoy it with a friend - bring them along! We also welcome grandparents and caregivers too.
