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 Climber
Lytia The poor black version of Jan Sassy Black Woman
Hillary 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 bombshell
So 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 way
So 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.
