The only connection the movie made with me was with its title, which is very similar to the classic 1970 movie “Diary of a Mad Housewife.” That film was a powerful portrayal of a woman who is victimized by her husband and seeks her own outlet with another man.
“Diary of a Mad Black Woman” could have been a movie that was an assault on the viewers’ sensibilities and perceived notions.
That one scene transformed “Diary of a Mad Black Woman” from merely bad movie into a condescending crapfest that undermines the intelligence and integrity of the audience.

 Diary of a Mad Black Woman Movie Review at Hollywood Video
His message was apparently lost on actor/writer Tyler Perry, whose Diary of a Mad Housewife is a crudely made hodgepodge of rank clichés that veers between shrill melodrama, glossy soap opera, and broad, sitcom-level comedy.
Compared to Diary of a Mad Black Housewife, the similarly themed and dramatically clunky Waiting to Exhale looks like a work of immense subtlety.
As "chick flick" tales of empowerment go, Diary of a Mad Housewife is notable mainly for its tonal inconsistency and trite storyline.

Diary of a Mad Housewife: A Novel by Sue Kaufman
Richard Benjamin IS over the top as Jonathan, but since the story is told from Tina's diary entries and from her viewpoint as his desperately unhappy wife, she would naturally portray him as almost a caricature, his faults magnified to an epic degree.
"Diary of a Mad Housewife" is quite of its era on the surface, especially evident in the subplot which culminates in the painfully funny fiasco of the cocktail and cigarette-drenched "omelette party".

 Smart and sassy performances make 'Diary' worthwhile - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
If "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," about a young woman who searches her soul and her relatives' religious roots for strength, had been all about Perry, wow, what a movie.
In his writing, Perry seems to be lumping together two schools of influence: "Diary of a Mad Housewife" (1970), the saga of an upper middle-class white woman's humiliation by men, with the recent body of films about strong fl women who struggle with the male-female relationship.
"Diary of a Mad Black Woman" is a hybrid that's not altogether successful, but it offers us a feature-length look at Tyler Perry, who is a success, big time.

 The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Diary of a Mad Housewife gone, but will be back next month
Carrie Snodgrass, as the harassed housewife nagged to distraction by her socially-climbing husband (Richard Benjamin), makes a token rebellion in her affair with a semi-famous writer who turns out to be equally odious.
Tina clarifies the position of the housewife in general, but she is no flat generalization.
Snodgrass' real housewife is suitably hassled and frustrated by the mad world around her, but she meets it head-on: this is no sob story of a woman lost in an overbearing situation not of her own making.

Actress Carrie Snodgress, whose 40-year career included an Oscar nomination for "Diary of a Mad Housewife", died on April 1, 2004 at the age of 57.
Snodgress was perhaps best-known for her role as a frustrated homemaker caught between a domineering husband and a self-absorbed lover in 1970's "Diary of a Mad Housewife." She was nominated for an Academy Award and won two Golden Globe awards for best leading actress and new star of the year.

 TIME.com: How Women's Lib Looks to the Not-So-Mad Housewife -- Mar. 20, 1972 -- Page 1
Career women and college girls have been far more active in the liberation movement than the housewives who long ago made their personal commitments "for better or for worse." But it is clear by now that many of them too, from time to time, are caught up by the cause.
To capture the feelings of some of them, at least, TIME turned to Sue Kaufman, wife, mother, and author of Diary of a Mad Housewife, a novel (and later film) that early sounded the tocsin of domestic alarm.
SHE will admit, under slight pressure, that she has never really cared for the epithet "male chauvinist pig"; though she tried it on for size a few times, and though she felt a certain heady sensation of power while using it, she has come to see that it is not really her style.

Her frank examinations lead to many changes, including an extramarital fling, and her voice touches a timeless nerve, resonating on many levels— from the ever-evolving feminist consciousness to the gnawing existential search that is universal.
Also, what was once called madness can now be called "depression" but "Diary of a Depressed Housewife" doesn't have the same zing.
The story of a bored housewife, whose husband suddenly gets much richer than they'd ever believed he could, but also gets more snobbish and silly than she could ever believe, strikes an answering chord in many women's minds.

She plays Tina Balser, an upper-middle-class New York City wife whose husband Jonathan (Richard Benjamin) essentially consigns her to a role like those of the circus attendants who follow the elephants around and tidy up their droppings.
Diary of a Mad Housewife has real and pressing things to say, but a stilted and distorted voice in which to say them.
As a result, the film has probably seen its greatest role to be that of inspiring subsequent more probing dramas like the 70s-set The Ice Storm, from which Joan Allen admitted to watching Diary several times to understand the spirit of her own jilted-wife character.

Diary of a Mad Housewife Film Review - Time Out Film
Bored New York housewife Snodgress tires of smug, over-ambitious husband Benjamin and his persistent nagging, and decides to gamble on an affair with narcissistic writer Langella, only to find that relationship equally dissatisfying.
Often very funny in its acerbic swipes at American success-orientated society (as revealed at a camp art preview and an unsuccessful party), imaginatively scripted and acted (Benjamin is superbly repellent), it's an entertaining satire that disappoints only in the stereotypically limited choices it offers to the woman.
