	Movies - Diary of a Mad Black Woman

Diary of a Mad Black Woman is a play written by Tyler Perry, which inspired a movie adaptation, starring Kimberly Elise, Shemar Moore, Cicely Tyson, Steve Harris, and Perry himself. The movie was directed by Darren Grant. It was released in the US on February 25, 2005. Kimberly Elise portrays Helen McCarter, a well-to-do woman living in Atlanta with her husband Charles (Steve Harris). When Charles decides he wants to marry his "other woman" Brenda, he literally drags Helen out the door. With no place to go, Helen goes to live with her grandmother Mabel "Madea" Simmons (Tyler Perry) in the ghetto. Madea assists Helen in getting her life back under control with the help of Helen's mother Myrtle Jean (Cicely Tyson), Madea's brother Joe (Tyler Perry), and Brian (Tyler Perry), her attorney relative.

Mablean Ephriam, presiding judge of TV's Divorce Court, made a brief cameo appearance in the film as the judge who places Madea on house arrest.

The sequel, Madea's Family Reunion
was released in February 24, 2006, almost exactly one year after the first film.
