I read the book and it is extremely sad that a human being had to endure so much so young. I compare my life and I feel so blessed that I was brought up by women and men that loved and protected me from negativity such as what Precious had to go through. Read the book please I finished it in one day it really broke my heart and at the same time brought about happiness to read about her progress beating the odds and her awful bitch of a mother she has! I'm so excited about the movie I can't wait!

I haven't seen the movie yet but I had the opprotunity to read the book. It was a great yet heartbreaking novel but it depicted actual events & secrets that many teens have to live with. Hopefully the cast will be able to pull it off because I'm looking forward to seeing it the movie.

I haven't seen the movie, but I am excited about seeing it. From the previews I can tell that it deals with some of America's biggest problems for teenagers and adults (illiteracy). Hopefully, it will inspire others to do seek help. Thanks Oprah and Tyler!

WTF>>>>>WHY IS THE MOVIE NOT COMING TO NEW JERSEY!!!
posted by MAD AZZ HELL on Nov 05, 2009
After seeing an advance screening of Daniels' "Precious" two weeks ago, I am still moved. By far, the most outstanding performance is Mo’Nique as Mary, Precious’ mother. From her utterance of her first insult to Precious, the audience knows that comedian Mo’Nique has been inhabited by a actress of Meryl Streep caliber. Monique’s delivery of Mary is so thoroughly convincing that it is an injustice to call her execution a performance. I'd warn viewer that the movie is difficult to finish. On several occasions, I considered walking out. The cinematic tragedy of Precious' life both beautiful and suffocating. - James Guilford

MY QUESTION IS WHY I THE MOVIE NOT IN NJ , I'VE READ THE BOOK GIVE IT A 4 STAR
posted by VENIESTA on Nov 07, 2009Why is this movie in limited release? This is why you have bootleggers.
posted by precious on Nov 12, 2009
This movie was amazing it had me in laughs and in tears its the best movie yet it really tells a story
posted by Nece on Nov 12, 2009I cannot comment on the movie as I can't find it playing anywhere. The limited release is fine, but at least give some insight of how to locate where it is playing

I saw this movie in NJ 2 days ago. Words can't explain the emotions I went through. It was VERY difficult to watch because I know it's real & it's happening everyday. It happened to my cousin.It hurts because it tells the plight of many people of color-although it happens in all races.

Oh I forgot to mention...Mo'Nique WILL get an an oscar for this movie. It's her best performance yet!

This movie was openended and it does not demonstrate any solutions. It opened up a can of worms but never produced any sound meaning. The movie introduced some strong problems that american face on a daily basis but does not offer any hope or demonstrate how a person can receive services and get the help needed. As a therapist if a person comes to this movie looking for a way out due to having dealt with these types of issues or conditions experienced in this movie they left out worse off then they came. The movie dealt with several major types of child abuse such as physical sexual emotional and mental but does not ever show any one why they should reach out for help or how reaching would be helpful. Every adult failed this child including the grandmother, social worker agents of the state who was obligated to report abuse, teacher, and hospital. The parents should have been arrested. This movie had no purpose or hope to improve the community. I can not believe that Tyler Perry and Oprah both signed off on such a failed solutionless movie. I expected more from both of them. I was highly disappointed and strongly don't recommend this movie to anyone. What waste! This movie could have been used in a very helpful manner. This movie could have help the africian american community individuals currently living in similiar situation offer solutions and hope. The diagnosing of HIV could have been used to educate the community on how to live with the disease through medical treatment support groups and peers groups. HIV is not a death sentence any more. This movie had so much potential to be learning opportunity because the africian american community are going to run out to support this movie because of the two people they admire and respect as a role model for the community. Only to fine that are enforcing the stereotypes that have always been place on us. In closing what was the message that was hope to be gain from producing this movie. One obesity is ok and ugly at the same time. That a skinny white or near white "light skinned" lady is the better person and only white/light skinned people are the only people that can help people of color. Two Dark skinned people are dumb and unhelpful/uncaring. Dark skinned people are animals unworthy and not trustworthy. Three, people who are obese or overweight or struggle with weight issues should abused and its ok. To eat more is better. Only one person who was light skinned mention eating healthy but not offering any reasons why. Four, the name of the down syndrome child a degrading name. Offending the children with developmental disability and having this child be apart of this type of setting that contain so many offensive issues. We want people to respect black communities and support them. This movie offered more reason they people have cosigned on why black people should receive any assistance. This movie was bad timing with poor judgement. Where is the solution to correct these issues?
