Plot Summary
Allyson Field writes an unhappy blog post about her constant stress and feelings of inadequacy. Though happily married with three children, Allyson is beset with anxiety and finds comfort in her best friend Izzy and mentor Sondra. Allyson’s husband Sean recommends a night out for his overstressed wife, so she, Izzy, and Sondra plan an evening at a fancy Chinese restaurant. But Sean’s half-sister Bridget wants Allyson to look after her baby, Phoenix, as she starts a new job the evening Allyson plans to go out with Izzy and Sondra. Sean backs up Allyson’s reluctant refusal, and Bridget storms out, determined to prove she doesn’t need their help.
When Allyson and her friends arrive at the restaurant, they are told that their reservation has been lost. Allyson has a meltdown, stows away their cellphones in her van, and leads them across the street to go bowling, swapping their high heels for bowling shoes. The evening degenerates with further misunderstandings and incidents. The “babysitters” – Sean, his video-gaming best friend Kevin, and Izzy’s husband Marco – take the kids to a video arcade, resulting in Sean and his son going to the emergency room. Kevin and Marco swap out a car for Allyson’s van, not realizing that the women have no means of knowing about the switch.
The ladies rush out of the bowling alley when Bridget, whose new job is at the bowling alley, realizes that Phoenix was not being watched by her ex like she had thought. They conclude the van was stolen and take a taxi on a wild goose chase looking for Phoenix, going to places like a tattoo parlor and a dank alley. On the way they meet a motorcyclist named ‘Bones’ who goes with them and the good-humored taxi driver on their hunt. On the way they find Allyson’s minivan and pursue it.
