The Single Moms Club follows five single mothers from different walks of life who come together when their teen kids, who all attend the same exclusive school, get in trouble for smoking and vandalism. The school makes parents get involved when their children act out, so the five women must organize a fundraiser dance. The group consists of Jan (Wendi McLendon-Covey), a type-A executive who is struggling to hold onto her stressful career in publishing; Hillary (Amy Smart), a mother of three still reeling from her recent divorce who has the hots for her new neighbor; Esperanza (Zulay Henao), who is hiding her new boyfriend from her ex-husband because she fears he might take away his financial support; May (Nia Long), an aspiring writer with a drug-addict ex-husband and a teenage son who wants to know more about his dad; and Lytia (Cocoa Brown), a sassy waitress trying to keep her youngest son from falling into a life of crime. The outspoken Jan and the equally unfiltered Lytia quickly butt heads, but as the five start to open up about their parenting and dating struggles, they find they can lean on one another for support..
Leave your thoughts about The Single Moms Club.
| VarietyScott FoundasOne of the best products to roll off the prolific multihyphenate’s Atlanta-based assembly line, largely absent the pandering humor and finger-wagging moralism that have bedeviled many of Perry’s earlier (if undeniably popular) efforts. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinTyler Perry's The Single Moms Club is a sitcom masquerading as a feature film... Too bad he didn't just spare us the awfulness of this flat and phony slices-of-life dramedy and go right to series, where half-hour bites might have helped mitigate the pain. |
| New York TimesNicolas RapoldMr. Perry’s latest film touches upon some recognizable and realistic challenges with efficient compassion, but there’s probably more dramatic tension in a car pool than in this film’s collection of predicaments. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkAs frustrating as it is, Tyler Perry's The Single Moms Club is an insightful, fascinating and often entertaining picture. |
| TheWrapAlonso DuraldeIn any other movie, the filmmaker would rightly be accused of trafficking in lazy stereotypes, but lazy stereotypes are the beachhead into which Tyler Perry has firmly planted his flag. |
| Boston HeraldStephen SchaeferTyler Perry's The Single Moms Club is a lackluster empowerment fantasy that veers between dull and embarrassing. |
| L.A. WeeklyAmy NicholsonAs ever, he has the last laugh. This is How Stella Got Her Groove Back, for the Pop-Tart crowd, a wish-fulfillment weepie that not only narrowly clears Perry's low bar, thanks mostly to McLendon-Covey and Brown, but has already sold the TV sitcom rights to Oprah. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfInsulting, but that's par for the course with Perry, who can always be counted on to misinterpret his own plots. |
| Boston GlobePeter KeoughIn Tyler Perry's latest opus, "The Single Moms Club," he demonstrates how disparate stereotypes can find common ground through the power of a single cliché. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigIt's an improvement on some of Perry's other films that strike a heavy-handed moralistic note. And it lacks the silly slapstick humor of his Madea movies. |
