Mad Black Woman Movie Review |
Reviewed by
Film-Forward.com :
Diary of a Mad Black Woman could have easily been called
"A Woman Scorned" or "Let Go, Let God,"
but whatever the name, the film can definitely be hailed
as joyous. Based on the popular stage play of the same
name, Diary is written and produced by Tyler Perry,
who plays three of the film's characters, most notably,
the irreverent, pistol-packing grandmother, Madea. The
title character refers to Madea's granddaughter, Helen
McCarter (Kimberly Elise, Beloved) who suddenly finds
herself all on her own after her despicable excuse for
a husband, Charles (Steve Harris, TV's The Practice)
literally throws her out of his life.

Review By Shawn
McKenzie :
The promos for this movie are misleading Diary
of a Mad Black Woman is not a comedy. It is, however,
a touching drama about love, betrayal, and forgiveness,
with some excellent acting to boot. Helen McCarter (Kimberly
Elise) is attending the Jacob Feinstein Lawyer of the
Year Award banquet ceremony honoring her successful
lawyer husband Charles (Steve Harris.) The banquet also
marks their 18th year anniversary. They seem like a
perfect couple with their big house and fancy clothes,
but Charles is actually kind of a jerk. More..
Reviewed by Lexi Feinberg :
Helen (Kimberly Elise) appears to live a charmed life.
She has been married for 18 years to a successful attorney
named Charles (Steve Harris), spending her days in a
luxurious mansion and enjoying all the goodness that
money has to offer. But as she so eloquently points
out, looks can be deceiving. Her husband speaks adoringly
of her in public, even raising a glass at an honorary
reception and saying he’d never have made it without
her love. Fast forward to later that night on their
anniversary, where he harshly orders her to “Get
out of the car”, and proceeds to spend the evening
on another woman’s sheets.
