DVD Description

Tyler Perry’s first film is a classic tale of a woman scorned, with a notable twist. Helen McCarter (Kimberly Elise) is the wronged wife, summarily dumped by her attorney husband Charles (Steve Harris) after 18 years of marriage. Literally booted out of her Atlanta mansion, Helen goes to live with her grandmother Madea (Tyler Perry), and begins the difficult process of rebuilding her life. Just as Helen has achieved a new sense of self-confidence through steady employment and new romance, Charles suddenly reappears in her life, in dire need of her help. For Helen, it is a chance for revenge - but also a chance for redemption through forgiveness.

excellent 22 Jan 2006
By mpujeh
Format:DVD
This movie is excellent and I loved it very much. I am difficult to please when it comes to movies but this is one film that I liked from the start very much I want to see again and again. It's witty and clever comedy that there is a lot of good tasty laughs right through it

The film is very organised and Terry Perry portrays it in a realistic way and it's very believeable.

Charles McCarter played by Steve Harris is a successful Atlanta defense attorney who lives a good life. His cute and gorgeous wife, Helen, played by the brilliant, Kimberly Elise is ejected out of their opulent home by Charles for another woman.

The handsome Orlando played by Shemar Moore comes into Helen's life at this moment and he is the van driver that Charles has hired to help get Helen to the other side of town where she goes to live with her aunt, Madea played by Tyler Perry in drag. Perry plays the part very well but his voice belies him.
Madea is a hot-headed, gun-toting lunatic who is a good laugh right through the movie. Tyler also plays Helen's cousin, Brian who has a wife with a drug problem.

The film is narrated by Helen as her own experiences and she is brilliant acting. This is not a religious film and it does not imply or advocate christian values. Perry has written a believable, good story line which a lot of ordinary people can identify with. In addition, Perry does a good work of portraying his characters as ordinary people with ordinary prejudices and vices. This film is NOT about forgiveness, romance or only-christian-values can save y'all.

I have watched Diary of A Mad Black Woman many times and I never tire of watching it. Kimberly Elise is fabulous and brilliant and Perry is a good laugh.
Tyler Perry has been writing plays since he was 18 and has grossed over $75 millions in tickets and DVD sales and this is the best play he has written up to date.

Brilliant Movie! 14 Aug 2005
By Xavier
Format:DVD
This movie is not for a "Johnathon Ross" (UK Film reviewer) type critique/review. If you are from an Afro American/Carribean background you will appreciate and understand where this movie is coming from. It manages a good mix of humour yet effectively touches on tough issues that affect the black community and outlines the value of God, love, forgiveness and a strong sense of character in the face of adversity. Definitely hits the spot, my brothers and sisters. Excellent effort and in my opinion, a worthy addition to any DVD collection.

Fabulous 2 Oct 2005
By camilla
Format:DVD
I thought that this movie was absolutly brilliant, it's got everything you need. From laughter and drama to tears. For entertainment its value for money, but if your looking for something more meaningful and or artistic then this may not be for you, go and watch sideways. I am a big movie buff and love watching movies from all genres and this is deffinatly on my must buy list.

Not one of Tyler Perry's better films
This is really not that great. The storyline isn't believeable, the characters are weak and even Madea isn't that funny. The lead female character is annoyingly pathetic. Read more

could have been better
I think this movie could have been so much better if it waren't for the main leads. The opening scenes of the movie are quite terrible and soap-operish. Read more
