The comedy/Drama love story Diary of A Mad Black Women written and directed by Tyler

Perry was his very first motion picture that came out February 2005 that had appeared to be

some sort of a love triangle, a women was having an affair and wanted to leave her husband for

the other guy cliché of that nature. Through further insight the movie is in fact about a loyal wife

named Helen (Kimberly ELISE) who thought everything in her life was going in the right
