Sex & the Single Mom is a 2003 Lifetime made for television drama film directed by Don McBrearty and starring Gail O'Grady, Grant Show, and Danielle Panabaker.
Jess (Gail O'Grady) is a single and overly concerned mother of a 15-year-old teenage girl, Sara (Danielle Panabaker). She becomes even more overprotective when Sara tells her about thinking of having sex with her new boyfriend. The things between Sara and Jess start to change when Jess begins an affair with a newly single doctor.
The Oklahoma Gazette panned the movie overall, while DVD Verdict gave a more positive review for Sex and the Single Mom, saying it was "quite entertaining, well acted, and well made, save for certain unnecessary plot developments".
A sequel to Sex and the Single Mom, entitled More Sex and the Single Mom, was released in 2005 with O'Grady reprising her role as Jess. The film focuses on Jess's life as a mother of a teenage daughter and three-year-old son, as well as on her increasingly complicated love and sex life. In an interview with The Tuscaloosa News, O'Grady admitted that she had been "pleasantly surprised" when informed that there would be a sequel and stated that the ending of the second film left the door open for future sequels.
