DVD Reviews of Diary of a Mad Black Woman The Play
DVD Review: Get a Grip it's called "Entertainment"
Summary: 4 Stars
I was appalled at the number of negative reviews on this movie coming from black folk. And yea I followed up on the rest of your reviews too and found that most bashed everything that they reviewed. Makes you wonder if they are not "Mad and Black". It is not that I expected everyone to love this movie, but nor did I expect the blatant disrespect of another man's craft as displayed in some of these reviews. When "Diary" opened in our city, it was sold out for days on end. The only way you were able to get a ticket was to buy one in advance and then show up an hour early on showing day. And our city is not a metro but it is not a one-stoplight town either. We have an abundant amount of theaters and Diary was showing on four screens at two of the larger complexes. People stood in line for hours in the pouring rain just to get a ticket for any showing possible. And for Mr. Perry it paid off, debuting at #1 on its opening weekend. Diary did its thing. And it is making Mr. Perry a wealthy man. $Ching Ching$. I was not moved when the "other critics" slammed the movie, saying it was one of the worst of the year. That I could stand. But now I read reviews from uppity black so called critics who now follow their lead. For what purpose do I ask? Once again I am not saying that everyone has to write a positive review.
This is called ENTERTAINMENT folk. Mr. Webster defines entertainment as "amusement". And that is exactly what Darren Grant, Mr. Perry, Kimberly Elise, Shemar Moore and the rest of the cast did. This movie is very entertaining. No it is not an Epic, a Biography, or a True story. And it was never meant to be. It was just for pure fun and enjoyment with a subtle message. Well maybe it could be a true story since many of the situations and characters depicted live in our very own homes, towns and streets. Some probably even wrote a review. ; ) And naw, I am not saying it was the best picture either. I have seen some movies, both black and white, that were far better or worst. And adding to that, when have we as "Black Folk" won an Oscar for best film for any of our movies either produced or directed. So to say that it is not award winning is not saying much at all. I give Mr. Perry and cast an "A" for entertaining us. And that is exactly what Diary will do if you take off your rose-colored glasses, sit back, and attempt to enjoy this movie. By the way Kimberly Elise is so so fine. So stop the soapbox reviews and try to be encouraging.
