Diary of a Mad Black Woman reviews

Diary of a Mad Black Woman holds a 6.5/10 average from 245 TMDB ratings.

This was the first Tyler Perry movie I ever seen. Madea cracked me up so much that I had to watch all of his movies. This a pretty messed up movie. I guess don't piss off a black woman or she will make you pay.
— Andre Gonzales (8/10)

Charles, an attorney, and Helen, his devoted wife, seem to have everything – money, a beautiful mansion – the American Dream. However, as Helen prepares to celebrate their 18th wedding anniversary, her life takes an unexpected twist when she comes home to find her clothes packed up in a U-Haul van parked in the driveway. Charles is divorcing her and kicks her out. Helen moves in with her grandmother Madea, an old woman who doesn't take any lip from anyone. Madea helps Helen through these tough times by showing her what is really important in life. Helen is forced to rediscover love, life, and religion in her pursuit for happiness.
