AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Tyler Perry's successful play can't make the move to the screen; this mix of slapstick, melodrama and spirituality lacks a consistent tone.

Syrupy drama -- not much here for kids.
It's never less than watchable, a bizarre hybrid that somehow works as a whole, even though its various components don't mesh.
It's a cheap melodrama that presses all the right sentimental buttons.
Diary of a Mad Black Woman is a shambling affair.
The audience is whooping and hollering, basically having the gayest old time imaginable, and you sit there in utter disbelief, horrified anyone of even remotely sound mind is enjoying themselves.
Perry doesn't have any delusions of artistry, and potentially, at least, that's refreshing. But any points he earns for lack of pretense are immediately gobbled up by his lack of subtlety.
Audience Reviews for Diary of a Mad Black Woman
Diary of a Mad Black Woman is hilarious, but why can't he make a whole movie on Madea instead of these dramas. The plot is the same old Tyler Perry dramatic black woman movie, a woman has marital problems and gets herself a new man, and side clips of the always hilarious Madea. The cast was okay, I love Tyler Perry as Madea and Joe, and the rest of the cast plays average roles. This movie has some well done moments and hilarious moments, but its the same old Tyler Perry film, and it was his first one ever, so there was more to come, but I seriously hate the dramtic portion of these films, I just wish he would make a full comedy on Madea.
