Diary of a Mad Black Woman
built 234 days ago
Diary of a Mad Black Woman has everything. It's a domestic drama, a romance, a comedy, and a revenge story all rolled into one. Trying to fit these disparate elements into a unified and satisfying whole might spell a recipe for disaster, but instead is a complete success. While pain and laughter, romance and revenge all gambol through this movie, the emotional focus of each scene stays singular and precise and believable.

DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN opened already in the U.S. and hit #1 at the box-office in the opening weekend while currently taking its time to open in other places. (DIARY opens Friday March 11th in Toronto). This is a strange film – one that would be more appropriately be titled INVASION OF THE MAD BLACK GRANDMOTHER. There are two hidden films in director Darren Grant’s drama/comedy – one a WHITE CHICKS type outrageous black foul comedy piece and the other a Christian drama on how a wronged woman comes to stand back up on her feet with God’s help and find true romance. Example – the poster advertises the former while the trailer the latter.

What this means, basically, is that Diary of a Mad Black Woman will seem liberating to some people and imprisoning to others. At one and the same time, it is both a get-out-of-jail-free card and another nail in an already airless coffin.
