Tyler Perry's The Single Moms Club has defied initial critical reception to become a surprising hit on the streaming platform, Netflix. The film, released in 2014, follows the story of five single mothers who come together when their sons face expulsion from school. Initially met with harsh reviews, the movie has found a new lease of life in the streaming era.
When The Single Moms Club was first released, it received an 18% score from critics and a 58% score from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Typically, such poor ratings would signal the demise of a film, but the rise of streaming platforms has allowed for unexpected resurgences. In fact, the movie has recently made its way onto Netflix's Global Top 10 streaming report, ranking at No.5 for streams for the week of January 8 through January 14. It garnered 8.5 million hours viewed and a total of 4.6 million views during that time. Notably, it even surpassed the longevity of The Super Mario Bros Movie, which had been on the list for seven weeks.
