Diario de una chiflada (2005)
El abogado Charles McCarter (Steve Harris) y Helen (Kimberly Elise), su amante esposa, parecen tenerlo todo: dinero, una bonita mansión... el sueño americano. Pero justo cuando Helen se prepara para celebrar su 18º aniversario de boda, su vida toma un giro inesperado: Charles la echa de casa y le pide el divorcio, dejándola por una mujer más joven. Desolada, Helen se va a vivir con su peculiar abuela Madea (Tyler Perry), una mujer mayor de mucho carácter y que siempre lleva un revolver en el bolso. Helen tratará de salir adelante, apoyada por Madea, y conocerá a Orlando (Shemar Moore) un hombre que quizá le haga volver a recuperar la ilusión... Primer film sobre el famoso personaje de la abuela Madea, creado por Tyler Perry según su propia obra de teatro, y cuyo éxito dio origen a varias y taquilleras secuelas.
