The Single Moms Club
Five single mothers who were very different in personality gathered together into one group. They hoped to help more people in the same situation as themselves. From there, they found joy, laughter and the cohesion to overcome the difficulties of life.

As frustrating as it is, Tyler Perry's The Single Moms Club is an insightful, fascinating and often entertaining picture.

[T]his is a film about catharsis and camaraderie, not logic.

This is the third feature within a year (on top of two TV shows) to come out of Perry's fast food, drive-thru productions. So it's not surprising that the Single Moms Club feels like it was slapped together by someone who is ready to take the next order.

Mr. 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.

Just wondering, but if these sisters are indeed capable of doing it for themselves as the film insists, why can't at least one of them do it without a man?

This is How Stella Got Her Groove Back for the Pop-Tart crowd, a wish-fulfillment weepie that narrowly clears Perry's low bar, thanks mostly to Wendi McLendon-Covey and Cocoa Brown

The moral here is that no challenge is insurmountable if you form a club. And keep a wine opener handy.

A contrived, formulaic, heavy-handed melodrama about camaraderie and the value of female solidarity.
