This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I give this movie a 6 because while the material definitely has great potential, this fell flat by relying on stereotypes. Jan is a rich woman who has time for only her job, detached, blunt as a spoon Rich Corporate ClimberLytia The poor black version of Jan Sassy Black WomanHillary the softer side of Jan, stay at home Mom who married into money and now that she has little of it she now has an existential crisis. Former Rich Girl May Similar to Hillary except that she's probably more successful of the Moms because she has a career she actually likes as a writer. Her husband isn't in the picture because of a drug addiction. Professional Black Woman Esperanza is like Hillary except for having a boyfriend she doesn't want to have around her daughter because her ex will cut off his voluntary support Latina bombshellSo when I first looked at this I thought it would be really good because when folks pool their resources they become stronger. It was a bit of a letdown because this is something I've seen before, just multiplied with a more diverse cast. I like how they actually let the bigger stereotypes go with Lytia, she could've been drawn a lot worse. Of course they meet men throughout the film that they eventually end up with because it guarantees a happy ending. I think it would've been good to see some of the women remain single because it doesn't always end up that waySo a 6/10 because while it does do stereotypes and some of the humor is corny, this is by no means the worst I've seen.

The title express the entire story where five women from different backgrounds unite to one club base on same issue - to raise their kids on themselves. Certainly this is a fair piece of support to those with the same situations so that you will never feel alone and I think this is also the main message of the entire movie - support needed when you are having difficulties in life. However, the plot is kind of predictable and there is no key of excitement at all even the child missing part might be the intended climax but fail to do so. Overall it is still a touching piece if you are experiencing the same issue especially the confrontation scene between the mother and child, when they express their true feeling of love.

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 thought this would be a good film,due to the cast but like many of Tyler Perry films, this fell completely flat.This film lacked any true character developments and emotions.Like all of his other films, it has so many clichés and points out obvious issues as a joke.It has a lot of stereotypes; from rich white women who can't manage their kids,poor black women that cant get a break but has to stay strong for all her kids while living in poverty,working women that are struggling both juggling their jobs and kids and of course the single mom not looking for love but finds it.This movie is so hard to watch.It seems like everything in this film is forced from the awkward flat jokes to the wannabe heart-felt moments.It seems the more movies Tyler Perry makes,the less realistic and forced they become.Maybe if this was under better direction,like all his other films needed(except Madea films,there was no help for those)these would have been great movies.
