I'll tell you why so serious

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

So I was surprised at this film. I was expecting broader slapstick, and just jokes. But this was a nicely done movie of intersecting stories of five (single) moms & how they deal with life. I think it could have been sharper. It feels a bit languid. Some scenes just drag because they're "heartwarming." But it's got good stuff. And for the most part, the child actors do a very good job with their roles and lines. Some parts that I had to suspend disbelief: * Even a waitstaff at a coffee shop can afford private school for her kid * Everyone lives in a ginormous house with lots of stuff, furniture, knick-knacks--and no one seems to be cleaning these ginormous houses even though they must deal with jobs and kids and single-mom-ness. Yeah, it's a film, but still--it's a lot of stuff to have to take care of.OK, and the outtakes were pretty darn funny. "You can have gluten today."

This - according to the blurb, is a film about women coming together, formed by a bond of all being single mums. Unfortunately, it being a male writer and director, strong independent women aren't allowed to stay single for long, it seems, and all they really need to be happy and content is for a man to come into their lives EVERY SINGLE ONE of the five lead characters found the happiness they were missing in their lives when a new man comes along - i.e. being a single mom was an unempowering situation, and now they have a testosterone-fuelled bloke to look after them, everything is rosy. Really?!! Is this really what men think about female solidarity? That they're only doing it in lieu of having a man in their life? Really? I hoped we'd moved on from that a long time ago.

Review: I really thought that this was going to be a chick flick about a group of women who are totally against men, but I actually enjoyed the film because of its witty comedy and the interesting characters who all have there own personal problems, being single parents. I had total respect each of the women because they really brought to light, how difficult it is to bring up a child/children, by yourself. Like a lot of Tyler Perry's movie, it does get a bit serious halfway through the movie, when the kid goes missing, and I did think that the film could have done without that added element, but in all, I did find it funny and a joy to watch. The acting from each of the characters was believable and in some parts, quite emotional and it was good to see each of the individuals find there feet by the end. Watchable!Round-Up: My expectations wasn't that high for this film, after reading some bad reviews, but it's written and directed quite well. The somewhat large black lady and the business woman cracked me up, along with Terry Crews, who doesn't mind making a fool out of himself when he's on screen. Nia Long, who starred alongside her real son in the movie, really did bring some emotion to the film along with Amy Smart who played the timid single parent who was going through a difficult divorce. Anyway, the different characters and there completely different situations, keep the movie interesting and enjoyable.Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $16millionI recommend this movie to people who are into there emotional comedy/dramas about 5 women who form a single parents club to help them through there tough situations. 5/10

Life can be tough, especially for a single mom. In fact, what happens when you get five of them together forming a support group to get through life's everyday ups and downs? Why, you get the generically titled The Single Moms Club of course and it's the latest of many Tyler Perry films that have inhabited local multiplexes in the last few years.Filmed almost entirely in Atlanta, Georgia and showcasing scenes of females conversing that are the equivalent to a taping of The View (if that's your thing), The Single Moms Club is proof that maybe Hollywood might have ran out of ideas for cinematic fluff in general. Now from the opening frame, we are immediately introduced to May (Nia Long), Hillary (Amy Smart), Lytia (Cocoa Brown), Esperanza (Zulay Henao), and Jan Malkovich (Wendi McLendon-Covey). These are all women who are either currently separated, divorced, or have baby daddies who were never around (except for Esperanza's who's played by Eddie Cibrian and he's the ultimate Nazi ex-husband). Added to that, their kids don't like them very much and blame them for not fully being present in their daily lives. Somehow by sure kismet (otherwise there wouldn't be a valid running time), all of said kids go to the same school, get in trouble at the same time, and all face harsh penalties as students. When the principal of their private school calls all the moms in for a meeting, these five completely different women are forced to organize a fund raiser or else their offspring will be expelled (what a weird form of punishment). What ensues is a bond of sisterhood that ultimately betters all of their future existences and as the plot requires, helps them find new relationships in the form of significant others.The acting, well it's fair as long as everyone doesn't say whatever pops in their heads. I mean, you could tell during some scenes that the actors/actresses paused as if they didn't remember their lines and had to gulp, improvise. I could hear crickets in background. You know not literally, but in my head (I hate when that happens).Overall, once I finished taking in a midday viewing, I realized that The Single Moms Club came off as a very uneven viewing experience. The film drips with sentimental goo and shifts its tone from funny, to uncomfortable, to flat out depressing ever so quickly. There are some heartfelt moments between members of the cast (especially amongst the mothers, the sons, and the daughters) that are effectively powerful. But with an underdeveloped conclusion, some embarrassingly bad line riffing from the actors as mentioned earlier (especially during the outtakes at the end), and a demeaning label that seems saddled to their roles, it was difficult to call this thing inspiring.In hindsight though, I didn't find The Single Moms Club to be a bad film. I just found it to be almost mean-spirited, too coincidental, and vaguely aloof. Let me put it this way, it's a "club" worth checking out only if you avoid going to all the meetings.
