In addition to co-starring as T.K., Perry also served as writer, director and producer, as he does with much of his projects.

The plot follows a diverse group of single mothers who band together and form a support group.

Actress Jenifer Lewis, who has previously appeared in several of Perry's past projects, appreciated this film's message.

"We have to honor the mother, we have to honor mothers who are single, we have to honor mothers who are not single," Lewis told K-CAL 9's Suzanne Marques at the premiere. "They wear a lot of hats."

"Single Moms Club" opens in theaters on Friday.
