Hi there,

Well guys we are within ten days of “Diary of a Mad Black Woman” opening all over the country. I am so excited and I know that you are too because I can feel the vibe when I come out to take a bow at the end of the show. I’m sure by now that all of you have seen the commercial and advertisements for the movie. I sure hope so anyway. You wanna hear something funny? I was driving down the street and saw a bus with Madea on the side of it and almost had a wreck!

There was an article in the Wall Street Journal last week about me and the movie. It was a good article but in reading it, I got the since that main stream is not expecting much from this movie. That weekend (February 25th, 26th, and 27th) we all have to go to the theatres to see the movie and it is my hope that every showing for Diary of a Mad Black Woman will be sold out. I’ll tell you why…this is Hollywood’s way of judging your success. They will be the ones to report how many people saw the movie the first weekend it hit the public.

So do me a favor. I want the true Tyler Perry folks in there, this first weekend. Before the rest of the world finds out about what we already know, I want you all to fill these theatres so that you can go to the message board and really let me know what you all thought. You know I read it often. Go to the movies with someone, or some group you’re apart of. Trust me when I tell you this movie is for everyone; bring your church group, choir, senior citizen ministries, singles ministries, youth department, your sorority, fraternity, book club and any other group that you can think of. You can make this an event. If all of us bring our family and our friends it will make a huge difference. Each one of you can make it special. If you have a group, call this number (866) 707-4729 and get your advance tickets. You can start buying them now www.diarytix.com . So when you see this movie just know that I am so proud of it and I thank God for the opportunity. I know you’re going to enjoy it.

This movie is so important because of its content and its message. The essence of this move is so clean and anointed. When you see it, you will know what I mean. I had to fight really hard to get this movie made, as well as hire the people that I wanted in the movie. Hollywood’s system is to take your vision and change it into what they want it to be. I stood my ground because of all of you. You have invested in me from day one and I refuse to let you down. So this Movie was done with the vision that was given to me, uncompromised. Let me say thank you for allowing me to be able to do that.

Shemar, Kimberly and I taped the Oprah show on Tuesday morning and the experience was amazing. Oprah really loved the movie and she really blew it out of the water. She was so cool. So don’t forget to tune in to the Oprah Show on March 4th.

If you want to know if the movie is playing in your area you can always log on and go to www.diaryofamadblackwomanmovie.com. If the movie is not in your area call the theatres that you usually go to and demand that they show it!

I want to say special thanks to all of the people who have been showing up for this screening around the country. I know a lot of you got turned away, but just know that on February 25th we all will have a chance to see it. Don’t worry, I’ll be in New Jersey but I will be finding a theatre to go to that day just like the rest of you.

Thanks for making this so special for US.

Tyler Perry
Be blessed.

Madea: A plum FOOL! LMAO!

The ending was abrupt IMO. We predicted what would happen long b4 it did.

What will be Madea's next "adventure"? I think it could be time to "retire" Madea. The play was funny, but it seemed like the "down memory lane of songs" was a time filler. :confused:

Catch Tyler on Oprah March 4th. He said they (DOAMBW cast) will have the entire hour. :D

Yeah the plays have become predictable. I knew something wasn't right with Sonny, Nate and Vanessa, but maybe he can do less Madea and more with other folks, i.e. the Browns and the neighbor lady. I would love to see Sonny again though. :o

Miss Neighbor lady was a H.A.M.!

I thought Toni's sister would have had a "bigger" role.

I :eek: when they said Vanessa was with "Leo"! LAWD! :o

I was like DAYUM Vanessa went from FIIIINE AZZZZZZ Sonny to busted azz Leo!! :eek: :confused: :o

I'll catch the 9:00 replay tonight but FYI.

I finally watched "Meet the Browns" OMG it was too funny. Mr. Brown is off the rocker for real. LMAO

Waiting on the DVD's for Madea Goes to Jail and Madea's DayCare.

Tyler Perry is doing it, I just hope that they won't try to jerk him. His house is amazing. Bless that man, he deserves it all.

My favorite part is at the funeral...
"THIS IS YOUR GRANDADDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYYY....THIS IS YOUR GRANDADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!"

I hope HE won't be his own enemy. He disses where he is from and everything about the NO. If it wasn't for your trials and battles at home, he wouldn't be where he is today. He needs to remember some of the "morals to his stories".

Has anyone seen Madea's Christmas? I bought it a month ago and have yet to sit down and watch it.

If your takling about what I think you are talking about, then I have. I saw in on TBN a week or so before Christmas. It was pretty good, considering the fact that it was on the "Church Channel" and Madea had to tone it down a bit...ok, tone it down a lot!!

1. Diary...comes to DVD on 6/28
2. The Tyler Perry Oprah repeat: 6/29
3. All the plays will be available for wide release on 6/28

A friend just sent this to me from Tyler Perry's e-mail club:

Wow, wow wow! This has been one of the most amazing years of my career and I thank God for all of you. You didn't have to sell out all the shows on this tour, but you did. You didn't have to make Diary number one at the box
office, but you did. Thank you. I know you are with me and I know what side my bread is buttered on, (smile).

I see you all are hitting the message board about me coming to your area. We have one more year on this tour and we're adding a lot of new cities. So get ready to bail Madea out of jail in your town!

As you know Diary of a Mad Black Woman is out on video tomorrow. I hope you are excited to get it. You can buy your copy just about everywhere; Wal-Mart, Target, Blockbuster, Best Buy.you name it. So go out and get it
and see all of the added footage and the behind the scenes antics. I know you will enjoy it.

Let's make this DVD the #1 movie sold this week. Let's show them that we want more movies like this and as you all know the only color that Hollywood respects is green. So go out and get the DVD for yourself or for someone
that is going through. What an effective tool to give to someone that you don't quite know how to tell they need to get out of a bad situation.

Oh by the way, one of the producers of the Oprah show told me that the ratings were so high the day we were on that they will rerun the show. So if you missed it the first time, it airs again June 29th.

Hey, did you see 20/20? What did you guys think? You know I used to be able to go to the message board and see what you thought of the shows but "some of yall aint talking to me no mo? What's up? I'm lonely.talk to me
(laughing out loud)". That was Madea talking. On the other hand, I did get all the e-mails about me and Tyra Banks.

I'm leaving the country for a week on vacation so pray for me as I try to get a little rest before I start shooting Madea's Family Reunion on July 11th. Oh and don't think I'm being selfish because not only am I going on vacation, I am sending my cast and crew and their families on an all expense paid vacation to a destination of their choice because they all worked so hard the past six months. So whisper a prayer for them if you don't mind. It's time to rest and restore, but we will be back soon.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be able to do this. May God bless you.

Tyler
