Diary of a Mad Black Woman Movie

On Sunday afternoon, I saw the movie “Diary of a Mad Black Woman”, which starred: Kimberly Elise, Steve Harris, Tyler Perry, Shemar Moore and Lisa Marcos.

The plot involved the following: “Helen McCarter (Kimberly Elise) thought she had the perfect life with lawyer husband Charles (Steve Harris): a big house, lots of creature comforts, and a stable--albeit staid--marriage. But Helen's world shatters when Charles tells her, on the eve of their 18th wedding anniversary, that he wants a divorce and literally kicks her out of their spacious mansion to make room for another woman. Devastated, she runs to her beloved pot-smokin', gun-totin' grandmother Madea (Tyler Perry), who lets Helen know she's a proud, beautiful black woman who nonetheless should whoop the bastard's ass. As hurt as she is, Helen really just wants to pick up the pieces and move on, if she can. She finds guidance and empowerment from her family and friends, including new friend Orlando (Shemar Moore), a drop-dead gorgeous construction worker whose sweet and sincere ways more than help Helen get through her pain. And he cooks, too. Really, there's no contest.”

I give the movie a “B+”, and the movie is worth the price of an admission ticket, a large popcorn and a medium soft drink. It was a humorous movie, and the actors were great.
