Charles, an attorney, and Helen, the devoted wife, seem to have everything: money, a beautiful mansion - the American Dream. But just as Helen prepares to celebrate their 18th wedding anniversary, her life takes a twist. Kimberly Elise, Steve Harris, Shemar Moore, Cicely Tyson, and Tyler Perry star. Genres and genders collide in this unusual mix of Christian soap opera and raunchy cross-dressing comedy. Tyler Perry adapts his own play--one of a series wherein he personally portrays Grandma Madea, an overweight, no-nonsense, old, Christian, African-American woman. In DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN, the main character is Helen (Kimberly Elise), whose wealthy, abusive husband Charles (Steve Harris) kicks her out of their mansion after 18 years of marriage. Luckily Grandma Madea is there to offer some tough love. When a gangster's bullet later makes Charles a cripple, Helen has to decide between love (i.e. wreaking Madea-sanctioned old testament vengeance) and Christian duty. The movie then progresses in two directions: the well-acted dramatic side, with Helen getting her life together thanks to the love of the dreamy Orlando (YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS star Shemar Moore) and her hospitalized momma (Cecily Tyson); and the go-for-broke humor side, with Harris whooping it up in unfettered glee as the chainsaw-wielding, pistol-packing Madea (he also plays several other roles). Whatever one's take on the oddness of the combination, there is no denying the power of Perry's unique mixture of cross-dressing outrageousness and Christian good intent, or the fine acting talent of the entire cast. Theatrical Release February 25, 2005 (Limited) Diary Of A Mad Black Woman Reviews: "Distinguishing it from mainstream Hollywood fare is its unusual blend of melodrama, comedy, revenge fantasy and a morality play, with an uplifting spiritual underpinning throughout."-- Claudia Puig, USA Today "[Perry] pumps his cliches so full of hot air that they stay aloft even as you're laughing at their brazenness."

Diary Of A Mad Black Woman Video Diary Of A Mad Black Woman Movie Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Such a brilliant hit!
This movie was a pleasant surprise....I was under the impression that it would be all comedy and big laughs, but instead it brought me through a range of emotions that makes you really cling to the story. There are obvious references to religion and forgiveness that are in short order in this world to begin with, but told through this remarkable movie seem accessable and approachable. There are parts that I was laughing so hard I cried!!! Tyler Perry is a huge talent and success.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  More Madea
Diary of a Mad Black Woman was one of the smartest films I've seen in a while. A love story, comedy, drama, and the message that God forgives and so should we. With the many women who wind up on medication, in the hospital or dead as a result of mental & physical abuse I'm sure this portrayal was all but too real. And for those of us fortunate enough to have known or had a "Madea" in our own family it was wonderful to laugh at her over-the-top antics on screen. After all it was part comedy! And when you factor in love and forgiveness, well it doesn't get any better. Thank you Tyler Perry!

Diary Of A Mad Black Woman review
$9.99
Tyler Perry follows up his DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN with more of his unique fusion of soapy melodrama, poetry, spirituality, romance, and raucous humor based on his popular stage play. This time around, the drama centers on a pair of half-sisters struggling to overcome the oppression of their materialistic mother (Lynn Whitfield). Weak-willed daughter Lisa (Rochelle Ayetes) is being pushed into marriage with an abusive investment banker (Blair Underwood), while Vanessa (Lisa Arrindell Anderson) is unable to trust the love of too-good-to-be-true Brian (Boris Kadjoe). It may be a bit jarring at first to veer from harrowing scenes of domestic abuse to hilarious scenes of Tyler in his dual role as the tough-talking grandma Madea (here also raising a troubled foster kid) and her flatulent brother Joe, but it works, especially when Cicely Tyson and poet Maya Angelou ...

Part tribute to the Doris Day/Rock Hudson romantic comedies of the 1950s and 1960s, and part commentary on the changing sexual mores of a bygone era, DOWN WITH LOVE is a bright, funny, technicolor treat that sets out to prove that opposites attract. Set in early-60s New York, the film follows the exploits of hot new feminist author Barbara Novak (Renee Zellweger), whose best-selling book "Down With Love" teaches women to focus on their careers, and never fall in love. This viewpoint is in direct ...

Diary Of A Mad Black Woman review
$22.49
Created by Sherwood Schwartz of GILLIGAN'S ISLAND fame, 1970s sitcom THE BRADY BUNCH remains one of the most beloved comedy series in television history--not to mention a full-blown pop culture phenomenon replete with iconic catchphrases and an ubiquitous theme song. Debuting in 1969, the series eschewed the social turbulence of its era for squeaky-clean, escapist entertainment centered around the union of lovely-lady divorcée Carol Martin (Florence Henderson) and her three flaxen-haired daughters Marcia (Maureen McCormick), Jan ...

The comedy anime series GENSHIKEN finds humor and pathos in the lives of the regular otaku (anime fans), some of whom might very well be watching the show. Sasahara starts his first day of college not knowing a soul, and decides to join a club and make some friends. But he carries with him a horrible secret: he is obsessed with "nerdy" interests like anime and video games. Luckily, he encounters a club called Genshiken, which is dedicated to those very hobbies, and whose members are much like Sasahara himself. GENSHIKEN follows Sasahara and his new friends ...
