Diary of a Mad Black Woman

The acting was wooden. The direction seemed nearly non existent, or at the very least seriously flawed. The romantic lead (Shemar whatshisface) is a soap opera actor, chosen for his puppy dog glances, not his acting. Giving the overly melodramatic tone of the flick, he was perfectly cast. If you liked Babershop, any of Spike Lee's movies, Martin Lawrence's movies, Will Smith's movies etc. etc., and had similar expectations of this movie, you will be sorely disappointed. This flick misses on all counts. Really, honestly and truly one of the worst movies I've ever seen!!! This piece of tripe doesn't even deserve a review...

This movie is a great introduction to Tyler Perry and his crazy characters. The characters that appear in the movie are based from stage plays written, directed, and produced by Tyler Perry (Mabel "Madea" Simmons). I won't go into great detail about the plot of the movie, but the issues and themes covered touch all races, nationalities, religions, and creeds. Betrayal, forgiveness, trust, and longing for something greater than ourselves are all themes touched on in this movie. I found it very uplifting. Tyler Perry is very funny as Madea, saying the things we wish we could say or do in life's various situations. Kimberly Elise was great as Helen, and although I am not the biggest fan of Shamar Moore, he did a very good job as Orlando.

My husband and I went to see "Diary of a mad black woman" today. The clerk said he had made a mistake and gave us one ticket for "Diary of a mad black woman" and one ticket for "Constantine". I remember this tactic was tried on other movies to keep down the box office receipts. Has this happened to anyone else? I went to the Regal Entertainment group theater "Cielo Vista 18" on March 7 at 2:35 pm. The movie was fantastic. I loved the movie and will buy the DVD so that I can watch it over and over again. I loved the depiction of real love between black American men and women that seems to be lacking in most movies of today.

I saw the movie on opening day and I have seen all of Tyler Perrys' plays and I think he is awesome. The movie was great. I thought I would be disappointed but i was not. I pray Tyler Perry continues to do well in everything he does. The actors and actresses did well in the parts that they portrayed. I enjoyed Shemar Moore in the movie and it was good to see a veteran, Cicely Tyson. Tyler Perry is a great asset to the African American communities all over. He is truly a blessing and I want to offer my congratulations to him and all the talented people that he works with . -Barbara Williams- Thank you. To all who have not seen the movie yet, please go and see it.

What a perfect way to spend a Sunday morning. I must admit that the movie's opening scenes had me wondering if I'd come to the wrong movie, but by the movie's end I was in tears. This movie was simply written and the emotional overtones were brilliant. Kimberly Elise is Hollywood royalty. Her acting was so powerful and next to Shemar Moore I enjoyed the chemistry (It was awkward for me at first, but they worked it..) Steve Harris stretched out in this role. We've grown accustomed to seeing him as the Lawyer in the Practice. I don't think I'll ever look at him the same again after this movie. Excellent work. For anyone who has ever had their hearts ripped apart by love should see this movie.

I laughed, I cried, I enjoyed. Tyler Perry is brilliant.
