Diary of a Mad Black Woman is a landmark work in Tyler Perry’s filmography because it has a talented cast and some great characters. Based on the stage play of the same name by Perry and directed by Darren Grant, Diary of a Mad Black Woman deals with the misadventures of a recently-divorced woman who lives with her street-smart grandmother, Madea Simmons. Even though the film was met with negative reactions from critics, it went on to become a box-office success and paved the way for Perry’s successful career.
