The idea was first conceived when Ms. Green went to a matinee one afternoon to enjoy a movie. Single at the time, and not being particularly maternal at that point in her life, she was alerted to this unfilled niche when a young mother sat down a few seats away with her baby. The lights dimmed, the film began and the baby started to howl.
At that moment inspiration struck, and Ms. Green decided to create a movie matinee event exclusively for new parents to enjoy, where crying would be welcome and other parent-perks would be available.
While other cinemas have tried to emulate the Movies for Mommies concept, MFM remains a leader not just as a movie program, but as an event and destination for Mommy Meet Up groups. Dads, friends and caregivers are always welcome to attend and everyone enjoys amazing free weekly samples, door prize draws before the shows, warm and welcoming staff, and monthly pre-show events.
