About Movies For Mommies

Movies For Mommies –The Original Parent & Baby Film Event (MFM) is the brainchild of Robyn Green-Ruskin.

Launched in June of 2001 in mid-town Toronto, Movies For Mommies was the first event of its kind to offer grown up entertainment in a Baby- Friendly environment.

Unemployed, Unmarried, and without children at the time, the idea was first conceived when Ms. Green-Ruskin went to a matinee one afternoon to enjoy a movie. Not being in the maternal way at that point in her life, she was highly aware 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-Ruskin 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.

Now in it’s 9th year, MFM has expanded across the country to major cities including: Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, London, Waterloo, Edmonton area, Regina, Saskatoon and Vancouver.
