Martin Høgsted giver den som ægtemanden Mikkel i filmen Mødregruppen, hvor han spiller overfor blandt andre Danica Curcic og Anders W. Berthelsen.
I Mødregruppens begyndelse bor Line, Danca Curcic, og hendes mand Bjørn, Anders W. Berthelsen, i sus og dus i Hong Kong med deres lille søn. Men efter at have fundet Bjørn i sengen med barnepigen, flytter Line i raseri og hemmelighed tilbage til den lille by Korinth i Sydfyn, hvor hun er opvokset.
Lines retur til den lille fynske by bliver ikke just gnidningsfri. Ikke mindst på grund af Lines bitre kusine Maja som er gift med Mikkel, spillet af Martin Høgsted.
Filmen har fået roser af blandet andet EKKO og Ekstra Bladet, som begge har givet filmen fire stjerner, mens de kalder den for en vellykket dansk komedie.
Ligeledes har Martin Høgsted også gjort sig bemærket. I en anmeldelse fra Kulturbunkeren skriver de om Martin Høgsteds rolle som Mikkel:
”Filmens sjoveste karakter er faktisk Majas ægtemand, Mikkel (Martin Høgsted), der siger de ting publikum tænker, og får fyret nogle sjove kommentarer af undervejs”
Mødregruppen har premiere i biograferne d. 7. februar i år og er instrueret af Charlotte Sachs Bostrup.
