Tyler Perry made his name on the stage and "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" brings his most famous character, the outspoken Madea, to the big screen. Madea is matriarch to her family, which includes Helen (Kimberly Elise), a young woman trying to find her way after her marriage has broken up. Literally tossed out the door by her rich husband in favor of a younger woman, Helen finds herself without anything, as her husband keeps all her clothes and belongings for his new mistress. With her heart broken and her life in shambles, Helen turns to Madea for a place to stay, which Madea willingly gives, along with a healthy dose of a revenge. As Helen tries to reidentify who she is, she meets Orlando (Shemar Moore) a super-sexy working-class man the polar opposite of her former husband. While her attraction to Orlando is undeniable, Helen can't help but be afraid that this "regular guy" won't treat her any better than her high-class ex. Finding love after loss is harder, but finding one's self is harder.
