Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

An irreverent, yet overtly Christian film about a black woman wronged and her response to the black man who wronged her, Diary of a Mad Black Woman: The Movie is a powerful film of contradictions. On the one hand, it's a story about Helen (Kimberly Elise), a loving woman who's given everything to her husband Charles (Steve Harris), only to be rejected and literally thrown into the street after 18 years of marriage; we witness the radical range of emotions she experiences and the actions she takes following their separation. But interspersed with this mostly serious story about relationships and Christian forgiveness is a look at Helen's extended family--in particular the outrageous antics of her grandmother Madea, and Madea's live-in brother Joe. The sassy black matriarch is vocal with her opinions and figures a pistol will solve any disagreement; Joe talks tough, is completely lacking in social refinement, and is really just a powerless old man. Add in a side story about a drug-addicted mother (Tamara Taylor) and the effect of her addiction on her husband and children, and Helen's stumbling discovery of the man she's truly meant to love (Shemar Moore), and this film is at once a poignant, funny, repulsive, and Christian depiction of the unpredictability of life and the power of God and forgiveness. Tyler Perry plays three unique characters in this film with ease: the hilariously irreverent Madea and the quietly funny Joe, both of whom Perry has previously portrayed in his play productions, and Brian, the necessarily serious father dealing with a drug-addicted wife and two children. --Tami Horiuchi

Product Description

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 surprising turn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Touching, Entertaining and Sweet May 13, 2005
Format:DVD
I went to see this movie the first weekend that it came out, and I wasn't disappointed at all; I saw the original play, and wasn't greatly impressed with it, but seeing the movie, I enjoyed it very well. Kimberly Elise and Shemar Moore gave great performances; Of course, Tyler Perry playing three roles simultaneously was just as good and I applaud him; Cicely Tyson, of course, gave a gem of a performance helping her daughter become more stronger even though she herself has been wronged; I have heard the good and the bad about this movie; I have heard that Madea is just another stereotypical role model that we need to get away from; But let's be honest, how many of us can attest to a Madea in our family? or at least pieces of such a woman? This was one movie that sex and profanity wasn't splashed forward and yet, the critics bashed it; Yet, I found it a good movie, and can all of us who supported Mr Perry opening weekend be wrong? I don't think so; Look forward to the DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent movie from start to end !!! April 27, 2005
Format:DVD
I applaud the earlier reviewer, Ramsess Gray from Fayetteville, NC. Thank you for standing up to all the other so-called critics who trashed this movie. I thought this was an excellent movie from beginning to end. In his big-screen debut, Tyler Perry delivered big-time, no questions asked. Darren Grant, Mr. Perry, Kimberly Elise, Shemar Moore and the rest of the cast were second-to-none in my opinion. I loved each of the characters Mr. Perry played himself, especially gun-toting Grandma. She was funny & very entertaining throughout. As far as best picture and/or any awards are concerned, I think Mr. Perry should have as good a chance as anyone to win an award in some category(ies). Also, in my opinion, Kimberly Elise should win something for her role. And for that matter so should Darren Grant & Shemar Moore. But that's only my opinion. The movie was very entertaining and it had all the qualities you could ask for in a movie. It made you laugh. It made you cry. It made you happy. It made you sad & it made you proud, all in about 2 hours time. I'm sure this movie is not and will not be for everyone. We all have different tastes. All I can really say is "watch the movie for what it is", and that's entertainment at it's best.

One of the best Tyler Perry movies. You have humor, betrayal, great gospel singing, forgiveness and a great romance rolled up into one movie. You can't get any better than that.

I was expecting more parts with Madea being more of the dynamic character but she wasn't (Goes to Jail and Witness Protection are by far the best). Read more

This is another good Madea movie. It is not appropriate for all ages, mostly small children. But Madea movies do have language, but they also bring church and God in them also. Read more
