This film is better suited for a night at bible study rather than a night at the movies. Not only is the plot a brow-beaten cliché, it is virtually unrealistic. The idea that a woman would console a man who threw her out of her own house, had an extra-marital affair that resulted in two children, and left her completely broke is simply ridiculous. While the movie zealously preaches religious virtue, it completely fails to capture the reality of human nature.
This movie may have been successful with some audiences, but I wholeheartedly dismiss it. Diary of a Mad Black Woman is merely an assemblage of clichéd, run-of-the-mill story lines tossed into one lackluster film. Its mediocre actors, constant use of poetic justice and religious moralizing are much too weak. Tyler Perry just should have left this one on the stage.
