Best movie of this year hands down!
It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
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.
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.
What's wrong with you guys? A good comedy with a nice story, funny jokes and brilliant performances how many movies of this kind have been made? Why rate it so low (3,8 at the moment I'm writing)?Well I think that this movie is OK, the girls are sexy (some of them to be precise), males are nice (most of them), kids are small, smart, endearing kids and the overall result is a well written, heartwarming comedy.Don't be fooled by the low rating which I think it's going to get higher. I'd give it a 6,5 but since this is impossible, I'll give it a solid 7, just to start.
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.
