Critics Consensus

The Single Moms' Club finds Tyler Perry avoiding some of the pitfalls of his earlier work, but continuing to rely on heavy-handed melodrama at the expense of sensible characters or absorbing storylines.

Austin Chronicle

We see very little of the women's vicissitudes, or the ways in which they support one another through their club.

Rated: 2/5

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.

Rated: 2/5

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

Perry's films are generally good-hearted, life-affirming, and unabashedly hopeful even when dealing with challenging subjects.

Tyler Perry's The Single Moms Club is a lackluster empowerment fantasy that veers between dull and embarrassing.

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

For a film that is supposed to show the real struggles of single moms, this go out of this way to make sure all of them have a good men at their feet at all times. I don't really see this as realistic. If felt more like they were taking advantage of the men, by - literally - asking them to do work for them, than being overstressed and overloaded. I mean, the mom who did not have time for the eldest daughter because she was occupied "trying to please her husband", well I understand she was overload when she had to let go of her maid, but before that she "didn't knew" her daughter because she didn't wanted to. She feels disconnected and weird and it is not explained why. All the struggles don't feel like real struggles - even the crack addicted dad plot line, which is a real problem - feels just flat. And it is not clear how the poor mom put her kid in the private school and all the other seem kind of rich which again minimized some of the struggles. Just so many weird choices with the plot. I actually like the actors and actresses mostly but the writing did them dirty, it is all to bad.

The dynamics among the women and of them with their children stood out from a conventional movie with a non-spoiler happy end for everyone.

This movie was so bad. The writing is bad the characters are terrible and the acting is worse. Would not recommend this movie to my worst enemy. The only reason I gave it half a star is because I couldn't give it zero stars.

The movie had a good story line and a good sense of humour throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it and all the actors and actress's performances were really well played. Loved the fact that woman were the more powerful ones and had the lead roles in the film. Would watch again.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
