No matter how many times reviewers, critics, massive viewpoints that say his movies are shitty. His core audience will go see this and Tyler will make millions.
This one was a good one but the others do get a bit shifty. He's a very talented man with a clear vision of what Urban television should be like for people of colour and everyone in general. However he is overstretched himself on the whole project. He needs to delegate certain creative responsibilities. For starters an army of writers and casters who share his vision. I have high hopes for his vision.
I love this movie. It's simple and heart warming. Something you watch after a long, exhausted day, when you just want to relax and watch something not so dramatic.
I love tyler perry and ppl on here need to stop hatin on his talents his movies to me is life experiences im a single black mom with 2 kids who does struggle and his movies such as Single mom club and Meet the Browns which i experience each and everyday and his movies has a positive impact on me and makes me become a stronger person each and everyday. Thanks Tyler Perry for your movies keep the good work
You people are just mad that tyler perry is everywhere and he won't stop. He made a 100 million this year alone. His secret is that his film budgets usually don't exceed 10 or 20 million which allows him to always profit off of every single movie. With this kind of business plan he can never really lose money.Tyler Perry is the only filmmaker in history to have five films open #1 at the box office in the last five years beating out the likes of Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorcese, James Cameron and Quentin Tarantino. He's winning in every way people whether you like him or not.
Except awards, films that will be talked about years to come,and or advancing the art form. Having a number 1 film at the box office is unimportant in the grand scheme of things and just because something is popular or turns a profit does not mean it is good.
I agree I think he needs to focus on serious movies with good scripts and he's worth so much he needs to hire script writers instead of trying to write every movie himself. He has a good creative mind and i think finding the right people to work with will make him a better actor and movie producer.
Brando Williams He can do whatever he wants, clearly he's making money off these movies and perhaps that's his only goal - to make cash. Not every film maker "needs" to have this moral obligation to be the next "stephen king" or something along that lines. lol.
I luv the fact that Tyler Perry, through his creative writing has become filthy rich, and his perspectives are criticized beyond measure, and yet his critics, who more often than not, have NOT seen his movies go on the useless rants about his work; and yet his name is known and your' sis not,,,he's rolling in dough, and u are not,,his gift his made him larger than life,,,how do you compare,,,then #GETOVERIT!
This just shows you where your values lay. You feel Perry is better or smarter because he made more money. How much money you make doesn't necessarily equate to your value system. So if you are someone who looks at a person's bank account to measure their value, then you sister, have serious problems.
I don't know why are judging or hating the movie? And you didn't even watched it. I can tell you that this movie is really good, i liked it a lot because it shows you the other side. "If people only knew what single moms go through" That's the truth. My mom is a single mom, my dad is a bastard who ruined our lives and is trying to do it even now when he's out of our lives. So i get the movie, i get those moms and i just want them to be strong and to never give up because you're fighting for your kids who should be the most important thing in the world. And know that it's gonna be ok! Be brave and don't let anyone breaks you. Stay strong! And for single fathers, i want the same.
My dad left my mom when he found out she was pregnant, my grandparents died when i was young so my mom raised me on her on. Nothing but respect for your mom and a shoutout to all single moms out there.
U r wright! My dad used to beat up my mom and now my mom is a single mom💙💛and I love her very much!!! My dad too!!!!💙💙💙💙💚💚❤❤💋💋💋💋💜💜💓💓💕💕💞💞💖💖💗💗💘💘💝💝💑💑💑💑💑😻😻😻💑💝💝💘💘💗💗💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💓💓💓💜💜💜💋💋💋💋💋💋💕💕💞💞💞💝💝
Chelynm10 Smith I'm glad that she's alright now and it's all over. She is a strong woman too, it must have been so hard for her all the bad experience but that's life and she didn't fail in living it. Be proud for such a good mom! :)
Yall Some Haters ! If You Don't Like The Work Tyler Perry Creates Then DONT WATCH IT ! He Makes Movies For Our Enjoyment ! He Takes His Time Tew Try && Entertain Us. Stop Hating !
I'm glad someone is embracing and acknowledging single motherhood. Not saying that it is right, nor am I saying it is wrong depending on who you are, but America act so damn blind to the fact that there are single mothers out there, and some chose to be. Stop denying that we all are different, and embrace one another for who we are. Life happens, but people shouldn't beat people up because life happen to them. Life happens to you too.
Matasha Lee How do your friends feel about when you pro this or pro that, and yet smile in their face? Seriously, I don't get it. Have not we all realized that there are many of us, not just black and white. NEWSFLASH, non of y'all are full any race, and black and white, isn't a damn race, it is a fucking category. period. You can't possibly know completely who you are unless you get a gene test because all of our history is distorted. So, stop!!! And, even then it is made up so researchers can again categorize but so many are so damn ignorant that you run with it. It is okay, for you, yourself to desire to identify yourself, but if white and black was thrown out today it would set a damn bomb off to you people. ugh!
***** No, I'm not a baby mama, never have been, never will be. I'm a single mother, that is who I am. There is no baby daddy in my picture. There is no glorified statement, but acknowledgement, and honestly, like I always say, everyone is entitled to their opinion, including you, but I am embraced by my family, children, God, my friends, my significant other, and those who know me, none of those people included you, so the only one irrelevant is you. And, it shows your importance because you trying to call me a name and you do not even know me, fact, plus, you actually thought I cared if you embraced me or not. I'm sorry, I don't care about your no thanks. Aww!
***** You're an idiot! It's not the single mothers that are the issue it's the deadbeats that walk out on their children! The relationship doesn't work for one reason or another that is BOTH their fault, but for a parent to walk out on a child? That is the parent WHO WALKED OUTS fault. The parent still there, struggling to make ends meet, not complaining just doing what has to be done are NOT the ones to blame. But they are the ones who get it. Even *if* a woman IS a baby momma, some guy out there had fun making her one! that guy, who left, bears just as much responsibility for that child's lot in life as she does. Why do single moms get the blame? Because we are easy to identify. The man who left, is not. I always find it funny how single dads are celebrated,embraced but single moms are spit on. Like they are in any different of a situation or are somehow better because they are male?
I've never had the patience, or maybe courage to make myself watch a Tyler Perry film cos to me they've always lacked something, but this trailer caught me by surprise, it looks like it could be genuinely funny. I'll consider it
I can't wait to see this my mom was a single mother for 16 years of my life and here I am going on 20 next month I find this movie no way offensive at all everyone has a reason on becoming a single parent so judge not ones work because it's not something you like on just saying
All these people saying single mothers are nothing but monsters, or how much they're a leech to society, but this movie shows that there are single mother's out there TRYING to make better for their kids because they know they've fucked up. Not all black women love thugs, and not all single women with kids are on welfare and are just god awful gold diggers. I live with my mother, a single mother; she has a degree and makes six figures with two kids alone. People put these stereotypes on other because they don't even know... this whole movie is showing that there is more out there than the stereotype, but people always judge at first glance...
Bcuz789Duh Tyler Perry knows he has a strong foothold in the black audience so he makes movies that attract primarily black, church going, single women. He stays within his comfort zone and doesn't seem to want to venture out of it. I respect him as a business man and for giving black actors more roles; but if he wants to be respected as a writer/director he should stop converting all his plays to films, and explore some new territory.
jed52 : He can't nor he shouldn't. They always say write what you know. Tyler Perry is just writing what he knows. He probably doesn't know stuff like Horror or Fantasy too well. Same thing would go for crime movies. Tyler sells something he knows is guaranteed to sell. Why try to do something he can't? I will agree with the fact that his writing needs to get better, and he needs to stop putting himself in his movies.
Maurice Hill Why write something he can't? That's the thing, he hasn't tried hard enough. He hasn't taken the risk. The guy is a millionaire, he's not losing anything if he fails. He needs to venture out of he should or wants to get that attention from the crowd he wants. I'm going to agree with jed52
No. If he doesn't know stuff like Fantasy or crime, he shouldn't change his genres. What he should do is make his writing quality better. That's the only thing Tyler Perry should do. He just can't write what he doesn't know, but he can write better what he does know.
why do people comment if they're not going to like anything Tyler puts out? I've seen comments where some fool said that he's never seen a Tyler Perry movie and never will, however .... Really? Leave the man alone. Nobody had anything to say when Martin was dressing up like Mama Payne and Big Momma. Nobody had anything to say when The Wayans Brothers were on the air, or for that matter, The Jamie Foxx Show. Whether he puts out a comedic drama, a dramatic comedy or something as profound as PRECIOUS or FOR COLORED GIRLS, he's just like Michael's Scarecrow in THE WIZ ... "You can't win ..."
Saw this movie tonight and really liked it!! :) Two thumbs up! By reading some of these comments....some people need to chill. It's a movie! Not a serious.documentary about single moms....but a movie! Not always realistic, but just watch it and enjoy! I know I did. :)
I have a degree in English and Mass Communications. I hate it when ppl say "it's just a movie." Words and images have impact on how ppl feel, respond, and act. That is why the advertising industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. It IS important how ppl are portrayed in music, film, TV, literature and other artistic expressions because these are the mechanisms ppl respond to more strongly in order to judge a particular ppl regardless of how much we try to tell ppl that "you shouldn't judge all ppl." But humans are judgmental, no matter how much you tell ppl "don't judge." That's human behavior 101.
I am telling the world I am so madly in love with this man Tyler Perry! OHHHHHHHHH! Just saw "The Single Moms Club," Oh man! Tyler has done it again! I am at a lost for words! This man knows women! Thank you Tyler! Can you and I go out? :-) Just asking, lol
That's why some of you wemen are dumb and stupid at the same time...lol you are so BLIND its sad...y'all keep dating these in the closet sissys and having there babies I am not mad that's your choice he could be bi sexual I don't care I am gay myself...its not what you do its how you do it...we all need to be FAIR to each other.that's what counts.
Be adult enough to understand the whole point of movie. Tyler Perry is a true vessel of God and his movies and plays are for people who has ears to hear. Stop hating. Give the man his props .
I really don't understand the hate towards Tyler perry... Imo, The family that preys, For colored girls, Temptation and now this was all good movies....
I don't see why there are so many negative comments on here, I actually enjoy Tyler Perrys movies though some are cheesy. He is doing what he loves and making more money then I would probably ever make in 20 lifetimes. He is extremely successful, he isn't sitting around on youtube dissing people. If you don't like it then don't watch the movie simple as that.
What's wrong with a movie like this? All these comments make little to no sense and some are acting as if a crime is being made here just because the focus is toward single mothers. My mom was a single mother and this is something we'd both probably enjoy. After all the trailer didn't target a hatred toward men, but female strength, so what's the deal?
Not just because the focus is towards single mothers, its because of exploitation. It and many of his movies exploit emotional stereotypes they exonerate Women, Mothers, People from personal accountability.
Just a question...for those who don't like Tyler perry, are u upset cause he has not written a movie specifically for you? Is it that his movies outside of the with iris elba, are about women overcoming issues and situations at the expense of the male characters? I'm asking cause I don't get the hate? If u don't like it, don't watch it. I'm a single father...yes a black single father, and I find some of his movie ok and few I don't like. But I can say he has grown as a writer and as a director. I think this what u get when ur the whole show. It's his visions, not urs or mine. When u have ur own studio and etc...then u can make the movies u wanna see. Smh at how people on RUclips is so critical yet I don't see no work from them. Ps...His movies are written for his fan...
Eric..thanks for having the cool head that prevails...from what I am seeing in the trailer is a comedic exposition of what it takes to be a Single Mom...not exalting it or downing men...obvious the women have and want men in their lives...but just giving the perspective of the triumphs along with the failures...I think there is a great deal of 'crabs in the barrel' mentality...and the best way for us to overcome this is to be able to be happy for the successes of a black men who had to make it on his own...no Hollywood assistance and to not forget that all of H'wood has been catering to a niche audience forever but no one complained but when a bm does so he gets clawed and scratched from his own race and the others...now that really makes me SMH...here's hoping that he only continues to do well then better..perfects his craft and allows his scope to grow.
Single Moms or Single Fathers rock they work hard they care for they're kids the do they pay the bills take care of the house clean cook basically everything is the work of two people all in one single person and that's a lot but very rewarding my respects to single moms and single fathers 😊✨
Preach dear Eric!!!! What I find funny is that the more people seem to hate, the more money he is making... Personally I like some movies and some I don't, but I still like Mr Perry as a person and I am happy that he is doing what makes HIM happy!!! I don't even understand how people can judge a movie based on 2 min trailer!!! That is what is wrong with the world nowadays: hatred, jealousy, focus on useless matters...
Um, funny how most of the comments are by men. lol Loved the movie. As a single mom, he got it right. Men, whether they end the marriage or not, always want control of what's going on in their ex's life. All I can say is get a life and Good Job, Mr. Perry. I watched today and plan to buy the dvd so I can watch again. Loved it!
What are you guys talking about? Don't you get it Tyler is showing us the trails and tribulations of being a single mom I mean it would suck if I would have to fire my maid
***** Tyler Perry already created a "Single Father's Club." It was called "Daddy's Little Girls." But the story was overly unrealistic. If you've been staying up with current events, you would see that the law punishes fathers at just about every turn and unfavorably gives all rights to a child to the mother by default. The only exception is if the mother is a known drug addict and/or has a serious record where the father does not. Relationships today don't work because of a few reasons: 1. They weren't mature enough to handle it (either one or both). 2. Unrealistic and hypocritical expectations (mostly women with their Christmas list of what they want in a man, yet they don't bring anything of value to the table. And if sex and looks is all a woman can offer, she is vastly delusional) 3. In a relationship for the wrong reasons (One good reason is to impress their friends) 4. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (women and guys that think they are God's gift to women) 5. Feminism 6. Women that wants all the good parts of a traditional relationship/marriage, but none of the other parts. They pick and choose like a salad bar. They are the first to sit at the dinner table with a knife and fork, but don't want to tend to the fields to get the food in the first place 7. Princess/Queen mentality 8. Peer pressure 9. Envy 10. Celebrity worship Lastly, the same issues doesn't apply to single fathers, because there are no help groups to help fathers. Where is the shelter for battered fathers and children? When police come for a domestic violence dispute, who do they tell to leave the house? The guy based off of sexist reasons. What this movie wont address fairly is how all these fathers are being railroaded by vindictive mothers. What you aren't hearing is the thousands of fathers committing suicide because the mother took their children away. Or the fact that violence and feminine behavior among youth and boys have skyrocketed since the feminist movement. Or the fact that Feminism was funded by the Government to undermine the Civil Rights Movement. As Feminism gained traction, Black owned businesses started disappearing one by one as more and more Black families began to break up all of a sudden. You have to do a bit of research as to why people are sick of the idea of single mothers being something positive across the board. There is nothing positive about being a single parent period. And there is nothing noble about a woman finding a man to take care of their own kids either. If you are a parent, own up to the decisions you make. Taking care of your own kids is not something to applaud either. That's what you are suppose to do regardless of the situation. Nobody applauds another person for every breath they take or every glass of water they drink. You are suppose to breathe. You are suppose to drink. What we have in today's society is a narcissistic epidemic and it has infiltrated every aspect of life. And this movie like others caters to it for a specific demographic just like "Waiting to Exhale" did.
I can't wait to see this! I'm not a single mom but I have several relatives and friends who are and I've seen it first hand. God gives Super-Grace to ya'll and I APPLAUDE ALL OF YOU and celebrate each of you!...Thanks Tyler:)
I really believe that this is a movie people should look forward to watch...its funny and it represents some of.the issues taking place in America and the world right now...'Single parenting'
I find it very funny that people are always bashing and knocking Tyler Perry's Movies. It's been nearly ten years since his first feature film, and he's still going strong 19 films later, you can call his films corny,terrible,predictable etc., some make you mad some make you laugh some make you cry,but there is always a great lesson/message in the movies maybe some of yall are just too narrow minded to see it # dont be a hater all your life
Im so glad they made this movie about male models fighting tooth and nail to get access to some prime single moms. FINALLY I can watch a movie grounded in reality about the experience of being a single mother in north america.
HOT WILLIAM LEVY TRUELY ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTORS FOR FIVE YEARS!!! Thank you Tyler!!! People better start watching Telanovelas" Because hey are really good...!!!
Inspiring women to be single mothers for profit is evil. Tlyer plays on womens feel good emotions to make millions while perpetuating the destruction of the black family
I think this is a beautiful movie. Its the best movie in 2014. Tyler Perry is a good producer and very good actor. Whats with the negativity, thats why all of you are not Movie producers and not even actors. Go see the movie and stop flapping your gums.
Awesome GOD, my grandchildren are in this movie!!! People God can use who he wants to use!!! This is going to be an awesome movie!!! This will be a sitcom, speak it Patricia !!! Holloway Twins, to God be the Glory!!!
This looks better than a Madea Christmas and Madea's Witness Protection. Every movie he has made has been pretty good except the last two Madea movies. I like the fact that he's making another movie with more races and appealing to a broader audience, because once you attract the people that supported you from the beginning, you can begin appealing to the ones that take more work.
Sounds like a lot of people, in particular, MEN, are really having an issue with Tyler and the success that he's having. For those of you who think that Tyler only caters to the struggles of women, I suggest you check out his movie "Daddy's Little Girls". If the sequel to this turns out to be "The Single Dad's Club", I don't wanna hear NOTHING from ya'll.
Tyler is on a roll with this mess. I can't be mad at him. He knows his market and caters to them something fierce. Keep'em shackled, my brotha. Keep'em shackled. :lol: I've grown from despising him, to respecting his pimp game.
Love Tyler Perrys movies . He makes movies about life in an understanding ways. Im a huge fan.
Because nobody knows what it's like to be a single mom better than Tyler Perry
Tyler Perry so gay and annoying
@Erin G Right? 🤣
🤮
it’s actually very insightful to the world of a single mother
Do some women knew what it’s like to be a single mom?
No matter how many times reviewers, critics, massive viewpoints that say his movies are shitty. His core audience will go see this and Tyler will make millions.
You say that like it's a good thing.
I'm not saying it as a good thing. All I am saying there is nothing has stopped Tyler Perry fanbase.
😅😅
This one was a good one but the others do get a bit shifty. He's a very talented man with a clear vision of what Urban television should be like for people of colour and everyone in general. However he is overstretched himself on the whole project. He needs to delegate certain creative responsibilities. For starters an army of writers and casters who share his vision.

I love this movie. It's simple and heart warming. Something you watch after a long, exhausted day, when you just want to relax and watch something not so dramatic.
To bad is not base real life single mom are toxic
I love tyler perry and ppl on here need to stop hatin on his talents his movies to me is life experiences im a single black mom with 2 kids who does struggle and his movies such as Single mom club and Meet the Browns which i experience each and everyday and his movies has a positive impact on me and makes me become a stronger person each and everyday.
Thanks Tyler Perry for your movies keep the good work
Tyler Perry never lets me down...always a great laugh...can't wait!

AdventuresOfMinty I agree. It seems like they always have to a reason behind the things they do.
AdventuresOfMinty Stephen King is the definition of an author who seeks only money ( at least his later works)
I luv the fact that Tyler Perry, through his creative writing has become filthy rich, and his perspectives are criticized beyond measure, and yet his critics, who more often than not, have NOT seen his movies go on the useless rants about his work; and yet his name is known and your' sis not,,,he's rolling in dough, and u are not,,his gift his made him larger than life,,,how do you compare,,,then #GETOVERIT!
This just shows you where your values lay. You feel Perry is better or smarter because he made more money. How much money you make doesn't necessarily equate to your value system. So if you are someone who looks at a person's bank account to measure their value, then you sister, have serious problems.
Juwar1974 Preach it
Juwar1974 Thank you for your comment. I am truly bore with people thinking money define the worth of someone.
lol Tyler Perry cast himself cause he want to kiss on Nia Long. He ain't slick. o_O
I was thinking the same thing lol!
Nia should've had the hot Latino
Yes I say this he loves to be a husband or boyfriend to a attractive woman in the films lol
I don't know why are judging or hating the movie? And you didn't even watched it. I can tell you that this movie is really good, i liked it a lot because it shows you the other side.

Tyler Perry swears he's so smooth.
I usually don't care for Tyler Perry movies but this one actually speaks to me. I will definitely try to see this one.

The funny thing is he has a multi-diverse class of women and "black and white" on here is still only seeing "black and white"

Matasha Lee This movie sends a bad message to young black girls that it's ok to be a single mother. It's not.
omg I think they filmed this by my old school... Tyler Perry waved at me!!!!!!!
I've never had the patience, or maybe courage to make myself watch a Tyler Perry film cos to me they've always lacked something, but this trailer caught me by surprise, it looks like it could be genuinely funny. I'll consider it
I can't wait to see this film!
I think I'll check it out too.
Margie Prillman I hope it’s got deleted scenes
OMG TP just sending out the movies back 2 back.. CANT wait to watch thisss... A madea christmas was AMAZING laughed ALOT :D

Looks funny. I love every single one of Tyler Perry's movies.
This movie was really good i love tyler perrys films their awesome and should keep makin them
Hello gorgeous how you doing hope you're feeling safe .?
I wish this guy would stop pandering to his audience and make a real movie for once.
"pandering to his audience" and "real movie" --do help us understand what movies are and for whom. thanks.
Bcuz789Duh Tyler Perry knows he has a strong foothold in the black audience so he makes movies that attract primarily black, church going, single women. He stays within his comfort zone and doesn't seem to want to venture out of it. I respect him as a business man and for giving black actors more roles; but if he wants to be respected as a writer/director he should stop converting all his plays to films, and explore some new territory.

: He can't nor he shouldn't. They always say write what you know. Tyler Perry is just writing what he knows. He probably doesn't know stuff like Horror or Fantasy too well. Same thing would go for crime movies. Tyler sells something he knows is guaranteed to sell. Why try to do something he can't?
I will agree with the fact that his writing needs to get better, and he needs to stop putting himself in his movies.
Maurice Hill Why write something he can't? That's the thing, he hasn't tried hard enough. He hasn't taken the risk. The guy is a millionaire, he's not losing anything if he fails. He needs to venture out of he should or wants to get that attention from the crowd he wants. I'm going to agree with jed52
No. If he doesn't know stuff like Fantasy or crime, he shouldn't change his genres. What he should do is make his writing quality better. That's the only thing Tyler Perry should do.
He just can't write what he doesn't know, but he can write better what he does know.
This movie looks cheesy and terrible.....I'll probably love it!
HA! Funny!
Me too!!
The movie is not terrible
The movie is emotional, funny and heartwarming
Watching this now
why do people comment if they're not going to like anything Tyler puts out? I've seen comments where some fool said that he's never seen a Tyler Perry movie and never will, however .... Really? Leave the man alone. Nobody had anything to say when Martin was dressing up like Mama Payne and Big Momma. Nobody had anything to say when The Wayans Brothers were on the air, or for that matter, The Jamie Foxx Show. Whether he puts out a comedic drama, a dramatic comedy or something as profound as PRECIOUS or FOR COLORED GIRLS, he's just like Michael's Scarecrow in THE WIZ ... "You can't win ..."
Omg how do you do it? You are brilliant!! You are definitely unstoppable.
Saw this movie tonight and really liked it!! :) Two thumbs up! By reading some of these comments....some people need to chill. It's a movie! Not a serious.documentary about single moms....but a movie! Not always realistic, but just watch it and enjoy! I know I did. :)
hello, where did you see this movie? i was under the impression that it is not out yet.
Love it, People are so touchy
I have a degree in English and Mass Communications. I hate it when ppl say "it's just a movie." Words and images have impact on how ppl feel, respond, and act. That is why the advertising industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. It IS important how ppl are portrayed in music, film, TV, literature and other artistic expressions because these are the mechanisms ppl respond to more strongly in order to judge a particular ppl regardless of how much we try to tell ppl that "you shouldn't judge all ppl." But humans are judgmental, no matter how much you tell ppl "don't judge." That's human behavior 101.
An Amazing movie . This movie brought me tear.... :) Best movie ever.
I am a fan of Tyler Perry.
I will of course see this movie...eventually.
I am telling the world I am so madly in love with this man Tyler Perry! OHHHHHHHHH! Just saw "The Single Moms Club," Oh man! Tyler has done it again! I am at a lost for words! This man knows women! Thank you Tyler! Can you and I go out? :-) Just asking, lol
No, you can't go out, because he's gay.
Juwar1974 ok..lol
Tyler is NOT gay!
That's why some of you wemen are dumb and stupid at the same time...lol you are so BLIND its sad...y'all keep dating these in the closet sissys and having there babies I am not mad that's your choice he could be bi sexual I don't care I am gay myself...its not what you do its how you do it...we all need to be FAIR to each other.that's what counts.
Be adult enough to understand the whole point of movie. Tyler Perry is a true vessel of God and his movies and plays are for people who has ears to hear. Stop hating. Give the man his props .
I really don't understand the hate towards Tyler perry... Imo, The family that preys, For colored girls, Temptation and now this was all good movies....
Im 2technical those movies are so good
@je'suis Elle Ok...
My daughter told my to watch this trailer lol, since I'm a single mom I could relate. Looks like a great movie can't wait to see it.
Oh really 😊
I don't see why there are so many negative comments on here, I actually enjoy Tyler Perrys movies though some are cheesy. He is doing what he loves and making more money then I would probably ever make in 20 lifetimes. He is extremely successful, he isn't sitting around on youtube dissing people. If you don't like it then don't watch the movie simple as that.
This movie looks Romantic ! Wanna see it !
What's wrong with a movie like this? All these comments make little to no sense and some are acting as if a crime is being made here just because the focus is toward single mothers. My mom was a single mother and this is something we'd both probably enjoy. After all the trailer didn't target a hatred toward men, but female strength, so what's the deal?
Not just because the focus is towards single mothers, its because of exploitation. It and many of his movies exploit emotional stereotypes they exonerate Women, Mothers, People from personal accountability.
Can't wait to see this movie .....
This looks SO PATRONISING!
Just a question...for those who don't like Tyler perry, are u upset cause he has not written a movie specifically for you? Is it that his movies outside of the with iris elba, are about women overcoming issues and situations at the expense of the male characters? I'm asking cause I don't get the hate? If u don't like it, don't watch it. I'm a single father...yes a black single father, and I find some of his movie ok and few I don't like. But I can say he has grown as a writer and as a director. I think this what u get when ur the whole show. It's his visions, not urs or mine. When u have ur own studio and etc...then u can make the movies u wanna see. Smh at how people on RUclips is so critical yet I don't see no work from them. Ps...His movies are written for his fan...
Thanks for that smart response. My God........... these ignorant people think every thing that is made these days is to their liking.
Eric..thanks for having the cool head that prevails...from what I am seeing in the trailer is a comedic exposition of what it takes to be a Single Mom...not exalting it or downing men...obvious the women have and want men in their lives...but just giving the perspective of the triumphs along with the failures...I think there is a great deal of 'crabs in the barrel' mentality...and the best way for us to overcome this is to be able to be happy for the successes of a black men who had to make it on his own...no Hollywood assistance and to not forget that all of H'wood has been catering to a niche audience forever but no one complained but when a bm does so he gets clawed and scratched from his own race and the others...now that really makes me SMH...here's hoping that he only continues to do well then better..perfects his craft and allows his scope to grow.
Single Moms or Single Fathers rock they work hard they care for they're kids the do they pay the bills take care of the house clean cook basically everything is the work of two people all in one single person and that's a lot but very rewarding my respects to single moms and single fathers 😊✨
Preach dear Eric!!!! What I find funny is that the more people seem to hate, the more money he is making... Personally I like some movies and some I don't, but I still like Mr Perry as a person and I am happy that he is doing what makes HIM happy!!! I don't even understand how people can judge a movie based on 2 min trailer!!! That is what is wrong with the world nowadays: hatred, jealousy, focus on useless matters...
*****
I wish I could thumbs up this post 1000 times. Black folks just don't get it.
Totally watching this....
Um, funny how most of the comments are by men. lol Loved the movie. As a single mom, he got it right. Men, whether they end the marriage or not, always want control of what's going on in their ex's life. All I can say is get a life and Good Job, Mr. Perry. I watched today and plan to buy the dvd so I can watch again. Loved it!
William Levy in it!!!!! I am so going to watch this!!!
I was aight with it until Tyler Perry came on the screen.
I actually agree with you on this. Tyler could of found another guy to play nia's love interest.
So I'm guessing he came in at the beginning and it was just shit all the way through...
Damn you’re so fine
What's the name of the song that comes out at the end
"Girl she need a Valium." LMAOOOO
Tyler perry makes the best 1# movies yes I will go see it for sure
Just watched this….WHY isn’t Cocoa a household name???? She is fabulous! All of these ladies are great. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Tyler Perry's movies are the worst
William Levy ♥
Actually loved this movie! Thought it couldn't be funnier than the trailer but it was great!
What are you guys talking about? Don't you get it Tyler is showing us the trails and tribulations of being a single mom I mean it would suck if I would have to fire my maid
Riddle me this Batman:
How did they become "single moms" in the first place?
paul19781105 That is a great question.
***** Tyler Perry already created a "Single Father's Club." It was called "Daddy's Little Girls." But the story was overly unrealistic. If you've been staying up with current events, you would see that the law punishes fathers at just about every turn and unfavorably gives all rights to a child to the mother by default. The only exception is if the mother is a known drug addict and/or has a serious record where the father does not.
Relationships today don't work because of a few reasons:
1. They weren't mature enough to handle it (either one or both).
2. Unrealistic and hypocritical expectations (mostly women with their Christmas list of what they want in a man, yet they don't bring anything of value to the table. And if sex and looks is all a woman can offer, she is vastly delusional)
3. In a relationship for the wrong reasons (One good reason is to impress their friends)
4. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (women and guys that think they are God's gift to women)
5. Feminism
6. Women that wants all the good parts of a traditional relationship/marriage, but none of the other parts. They pick and choose like a salad bar. They are the first to sit at the dinner table with a knife and fork, but don't want to tend to the fields to get the food in the first place
7. Princess/Queen mentality
8. Peer pressure
9. Envy
10. Celebrity worship
Lastly, the same issues doesn't apply to single fathers, because there are no help groups to help fathers. Where is the shelter for battered fathers and children? When police come for a domestic violence dispute, who do they tell to leave the house? The guy based off of sexist reasons.
What this movie wont address fairly is how all these fathers are being railroaded by vindictive mothers. What you aren't hearing is the thousands of fathers committing suicide because the mother took their children away. Or the fact that violence and feminine behavior among youth and boys have skyrocketed since the feminist movement. Or the fact that Feminism was funded by the Government to undermine the Civil Rights Movement. As Feminism gained traction, Black owned businesses started disappearing one by one as more and more Black families began to break up all of a sudden. You have to do a bit of research as to why people are sick of the idea of single mothers being something positive across the board. There is nothing positive about being a single parent period. And there is nothing noble about a woman finding a man to take care of their own kids either. If you are a parent, own up to the decisions you make. Taking care of your own kids is not something to applaud either. That's what you are suppose to do regardless of the situation. Nobody applauds another person for every breath they take or every glass of water they drink. You are suppose to breathe. You are suppose to drink. What we have in today's society is a narcissistic epidemic and it has infiltrated every aspect of life. And this movie like others caters to it for a specific demographic just like "Waiting to Exhale" did.
Amen brother

Helli
I really believe that this is a movie people should look forward to watch...its funny and it represents some of.the issues taking place in America and the world right now...'Single parenting'
I love this movie. thanks!
THIS MOVIE IS A WINNER! And I'm still waiting for Sequel" Diary Of A Mad Black Woman! For Real!!
I really want to see this movie, cant wait.
Hello gorgeous how your doing hope you're go want to be sure if you're safe .?
I can't wait for this to come out. I have been a single mom for over 8 years.
I find it very funny that people are always bashing and knocking Tyler Perry's Movies. It's been nearly ten years since his first feature film, and he's still going strong 19 films later, you can call his films corny,terrible,predictable etc., some make you mad some make you laugh some make you cry,but there is always a great lesson/message in the movies maybe some of yall are just too narrow minded to see it # dont be a hater all your life
i love tyler perry movies sad and comedy at the same time.
Oh shit William Levy!!!! Deff going to watch this
Go ahead and stereotype the overweight Black Woman.
Right?!?! That was annoying
cant wait to see this movie looks really good!
Today the girl that has William Levi as her step dad in this movie went over my best friends house and she was pretty cool.
I love this Tyler Perry keep up the good work
Calm down people, its just entertainment!
Tyler perry makes good movies and now that he is popular he provides jobs for people of all walks of life white latin black etc .
CANT WAIT 2 SEE IT ♥
Or single mom's tryna get laid club. Lol and is it just me or does Tyler Perry live out his romantic fantasies in movies. Feel sorry for Nia.
Always have to have the one shucker and jiver.
Dis is going to be a really good movie i cant wait to go see it
I am extremely upset. I am actually trying to squash stereotypes and stigma regarding single moms but films like this reiterates the negative.
Happy belated birthday, Amy. Have a good one.
I like Independant women who are good mothers. They have tenacity
You're a simp.
White knight mangina
Im so glad they made this movie about male models fighting tooth and nail to get access to some prime single moms. FINALLY I can watch a movie grounded in reality about the experience of being a single mother in north america.
Love this movie.
I'm it even going to read the hate comments I Love this I laughed so hard when he said I got a lot of wood lmaoo I died !
it is very annoying how folks are hatin on Tyler Perry. If you don't like it, what you type it in for?
I have a feeling this is going to be one of Tyler Perry's best films! It looks great!
That feeling was a fuckin lie
Ana !! 😂😂
Why can't we support our own without all the critical remarks
HOT WILLIAM LEVY TRUELY ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTORS FOR FIVE YEARS!!! Thank you Tyler!!! People better start watching Telanovelas" Because hey are really good...!!!
leave TYLER PERRY alone, i see no harm in his work, he is inspiring women all over the world.. if you people don't like his work just don't watch..
Inspiring women to be single mothers for profit is evil. Tlyer plays on womens feel good emotions to make millions while perpetuating the destruction of the black family
The Movie Announcer is back!!!!!
love it i'm there when it comes out
I can't wait to see this my girl friends!
Hello gorgeous how you doing hope you're safe.?
Hello how are you doing?
I love this movie
Zulay Henao stunningly beautiful as ever. She's an underrated actress.
I think this is a beautiful movie. Its the best movie in 2014. Tyler Perry is a good producer and very good actor. Whats with the negativity, thats why all of you are not Movie producers and not even actors. Go see the movie and stop flapping your gums.
another hit Tyler.
This preview doesn't do this movie justice. It was actually pretty good.
F*CK YOU!
How many single mothers were watching this on Fathers day?
Awesome GOD, my grandchildren are in this movie!!! People God can use who he wants to use!!! This is going to be an awesome movie!!! This will be a sitcom, speak it Patricia !!! Holloway Twins, to God be the Glory!!!
Woo Hoo... William Levy.. Tyler Perry
This looks better than a Madea Christmas and Madea's Witness Protection. Every movie he has made has been pretty good except the last two Madea movies. I like the fact that he's making another movie with more races and appealing to a broader audience, because once you attract the people that supported you from the beginning, you can begin appealing to the ones that take more work.
Great Movie 👍
He finna become even more richer...
Sounds like a lot of people, in particular, MEN, are really having an issue with Tyler and the success that he's having. For those of you who think that Tyler only caters to the struggles of women, I suggest you check out his movie "Daddy's Little Girls". If the sequel to this turns out to be "The Single Dad's Club", I don't wanna hear NOTHING from ya'll.
Nice job doing the movie it was pretty
Tyler is on a roll with this mess. I can't be mad at him. He knows his market and caters to them something fierce. Keep'em shackled, my brotha. Keep'em shackled. :lol: I've grown from despising him, to respecting his pimp game.
