The Single Moms Club

This is a realistic movie about the inequality of divorce settlement in America. Imagine if your ex husband had the power to put you out of the house for seeing someone else while he is married to someone else, talk about control! In the meantime, because the children of these 5 women were late being picked up and caught defacing the school property or smoking on school property, their mothers (who happen to be all single moms) were made to form a committee for a school fund raiser, otherwise apart from being single mothers, with children going to the same private school, they have nothing in common. It is disheartening the number of sad stories there are about fathers abandoning their first families both financially and morally, leaving their children without a father figure at all!

I am a first time reviewer… but after reading some of the reviews I wanted to chime in.

If you are in the mood for a rainy Sunday afternoon lifetime type movie, this is the movie to watch. It is a well told story with drama and comedy that compliment each other. I had some actual LOL moments and the story progressed well.

The initial character building works; I knew the characters and cared about them within the first ten minutes. The story does get stuck towards the middle but quickly recovers.

My favorite thing about this movie is that there are some awesome scenes that, in my opinion, are simply extraordinary.

If you approach this movie with the intention of being entertained and a bit enlightened, then you will not be disappointed.

I really enjoyed this movie. It was funny, provided a few tears, and projected the real struggles single mothers have to deal with. It is not easy for single mothers to raise children, especially when they do not receive any financial or emotional support from the fathers....and sometimes, not from family members either. The movie pointed out these issues.

This movie showed some of the pain single mothers go through without being too harsh. The movie added jokes and silliness to soften some of the drama within the movie. I found this to be a delightful movie.

I guess the reason some of the reviewers gave the movie such low ratings was because they may have felt it was the typical Tyler Perry movie....Black church, drugs, abused women, and pain. No, this movie was nothing of the kind.

Again, a very delightful movie. Kudos to Tyler Perry.

I was unsure going into this movie, but I generally like Tyler Perry so I decided to give it a shot. It had a lot of potential, but fell somewhat short in it's intentions. It was okay overall but he has definitely produced better work. It was filled with stereotypes as another reviewer said, but I also think it is the reality in many situations. Perry also did a good job of showing that every single mom has her own unique story, yet can relate to other women experiencing single parenthood. The best thing about this movie is the beautiful and talented Nia Long. She fit the role well and played it with grace and class as she always does. I think they could have gone in a different direction at some points in the movie, but overall, it was a good heartfelt and somewhat humorous film.

What's wrong with you guys? A good comedy with a nice story, funny jokes and brilliant performances… how many movies of this kind have been made? Why rate it so low (3,8 at the moment I'm writing)?

Well I think that this movie is OK, the girls are sexy (some of them to be precise), males are nice (most of them), kids are small, smart, endearing kids and the overall result is a well written, heartwarming comedy.

Don't be fooled by the low rating which I think it's going to get higher. I'd give it a 6,5 but since this is impossible, I'll give it a solid 7, just to start.
