    Few movies are made with the personal fervor of Diary of a Mad Black Woman. When Helen (Kimberly Elise, Beloved) is literally thrown out of her house by her callous lawyer husband (Steve Harris), her sense of self unravels. She finds herself on the doorstep of her gun-toting grandmother Madea (cross-dressed Tyler Perry), who sets Helen on the road to dignity and forgiveness--with a few detours along the way. The plot of Diary of a Mad Black Woman unfolds in a dizzying melange of styles, from soap opera to campy comedy to chick-flick romance to gothic revenge to inspirational tale of redemption. Perry, like Eddie Murphy in The Nutty Professor, plays multiple roles in a family, two of which are over-the-top scenery-chewers while the other is a sincere, generous family man with a drug-addicted wife. This everything-including-the-kitchen-sink approach reflects the play's origins; Perry adapted the screenplay from his enormously popular gospel play, a genre of melodrama featuring extreme emotional drama and whiplash inducing plot turns. Some viewers will clutch this movie to their breast as a cinematic feast; others will see it as so schizophrenic it borders on the surreal. But either way, Elise's charismatic performance will keep you engaged throughout. Also featuring Cicely Tyson (Sounder), Shemar Moore (The Brothers), and Judge Mablean Ephriam (Divorce Court). --Bret Fetzer

      5 out of 5 stars Madea is special.......2007-06-07

      I love this movie, this is the 7th copy I have given to friends. The power of forgiveness is shown in great detail. Only in this, can one be truely set free.

      5 out of 5 stars Great and Mad .......2007-05-21

      It was a great film, funny all the way though it had me laughing and crying you can't say more than that. It was so funny.

      5 out of 5 stars A must see!!!.......2007-05-07

      Wow an empowering movie that shows a women can get up when she gets knock down to the ground!!! Great movie and Tyler Perry does a great job as always in bring Madea alive!!!!

      5 out of 5 stars Surprised.......2007-04-15

      For years people always acted stunned when when I told them I've never seen a Madea play or movie. Feeling like I was on the verge of getting my B card revolt, I finally gave in and watched this movie. And I'm stunned. yes, yes. I admit it. I was expecting some over glorified ghetto movie with TP vamping it up like Lawrence's Big Momma. What I got instead was a strong movie about the power of forgiveness and second chances. I don't always like Kimberly Elise, she has the tendency to over act, but her performance was picture perfect for this film Shemar Jackson is still trying to prove that he's more than just a pretty boy did come off a little too perfect but that was the material more than him and he still managed to do a pretty descent job. Overall, this is great entertainment.

      4 out of 5 stars Funny, Real, and Sensible.......2007-02-23

      I thought the movie was a good movie and don't regret spending my money to go into the theatres to see it. This is where it counts on the bottom line and in dvd sales.

      The movie was very reasonable. I really liked the part when Kimberly has her now crippled husband in the hot tub. That cracked me up. Some people say that Tyler's movies are too corny. I beg to differ. His movies always have a moral lesson that we all can take something from. How many commerical movies are good life lessons?

      I enjoyed Tyler playing the various parts. Like someone said, ignore the critics, judge for yourself.
