    A very curious and very entertaining mix, the Labradoodle of inspirational romantic-comedy-melodramas.

    Harris and particularly Elise give over-the-top performances that bring Diary to the edge of soap opera.

    In an awkward split-personality way, it works some of the time.

    The critics have done it AGAIN! They have underated another GREAT Perry film! This movie's too good to get such a low score. People who rated this movie low are just JEALOUS just like spike lee is because Tyler Perry makes GREAT films. REMEMBER.....jealousy is a sin!!!!.....… Expand
