i read the book for this movie instead of watching it. and wow, it was pretty gross. it was pretty ok. i don't think i'd read it again. it's pretty messed up.
that girl should lose some weight and she might get some of the things she wants. also, clearly the neighborhood she lives in is full of criminals. she should move out of there and into a better neighborhood, possibly get a house and a car.
already saw this a while ago but its one of the best in my book. hey addelaide78----you asked for the site where I got that SONY BLU RAY PLAYER? i got a brand new one free and clear at ALLTOPMOVIES( . )COM. they were giving them away last week and i think they have them again this week but not sure. good luck!
you seriously criticizing Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry? Two of the most philanthropic people in all of the world? If we make a black movie based on action it would not sell, that's the reality! 80% of moviegoers are white, are they going to see a black action film? I say play to your strengths. If a story is good then i am going to see it. Shame on you for talking bad about Oprah and Tyler Perry though.
We have to make our variety and make a completely new genre. We always do its just stolen and then we're duped into thinking that it isn't ours anymore.
Can we get a decent movie starring a black cast that isn't about hard times in the hood, violence or church? It would be nice to see a thriller, a mystery, and action film or a true romantic film - not a comedy. The actors might be great, but the content is of no interest to me. It's time for something new.
And why is Oprah so in love with projects about the downtrodden black experience? Also, Tyler Perry is a joke as a filmmaker, so I guess he figured he'd try exec producing this.
Its up to us to educate people and create our own movies that aren't backed by people who own the industry. Oprah and Tyler sold their souls to them. It won't change unless we change our way of thinking and stop riding on the backs of those who made it by societies means. We must make our own, support and use our own. And stop supporting things that are not our own or look to be our own but behind the scenes its really of someone elses origins. This movie only advocates the bad in us.
I agree. Why is this the ONLY segment of Black society that seems to be celebrated by the masses? This is NOT the only story that exists for Blacks. Not all of us live in the jects, are abused, on welfare, pregnant, etc. looking for a White or light skin savior to rescue us from our fate! There are plenty of Black authors who write books about varied subjects that would make wonderful screenplays. Can we have some variety?
It comes down to supporting what you mentioned. We talk a good game but we won't back it up. Many movies like what you mentioned have came out,but if blacks won't get out and support them,there's nothing we can do.
We can't complain about how we're portrayed when we turn round and support the ish.
I agree with you. It's sad because I do support the kinds of films that I mentioned. However, when I spend money to see them in theatres, there are very few people there. Yet, TP movies pracitically sell out. If that's what people like, then cool. However, we are not a monotype as an audience. We need some diverse perspectives out there. No one else is going to do it for us but us.
@bellaalma both of u r wrong this flim is made my tyler perry and opera and this films help actual people that live this every day and give them chocies and the flim tells them what to to
I read the book and it sad i want to see this movie so bad and it jus makes me want to start a business workin with these type of people help them let them be free to share their ideas thoughts this is all true and AMERICA needs to wake see the facts and the government needs to do something about this
So few movies portray the reality of the lives of a large segment of people in society. It is just refreshing, inspiring, and healing to have this on the screen.
Life has its feast times and its famine times. We learn from both. It is especially important for young people to know that you do move through the challenges to triumphant places particularly when you wake up the powers within.
Kudos to everybody attached to this project of overcoming the limitations and grabbing joy!
I wonder if they are going to feature the father at all in this film .... what he did to Precious was pretty horrific and graphic but he was significant in the story since he got her pregnant twice and would come to the house to rape her repeatedly ... and her mother abused her sexually too ... I hope this film shows the book justice but I'm scared to go see it.
i really commend monique for playing this role. not every role is going to be glamorous or the "good guy". she portrayed an unthoughtful mother incredibly well and thats what makes a good actress, one that can take on many roles.
This looks like a wonderfull movie, and I wish I could get the book. No parent in their right mind would treat their daughter lower than dirt. Mo'Nique's character needs to support her daughter not make her feel worse. I hope her dad gets locked up for life for doing what he did to her.
the author of the book used to b my neighbor when i was younger. this is based on her life. she never allowed men in her apartment and she lived with a woman who wud fix everything for her bc our super was a man. she gave me a doll i still have. she is a nice woman it's jus sad she went through this.
This girl has gone through hell!! Read the book. I only read a few pages because it was my friends book. She also told me about it. The girl has been getting raped since age 3! She feels guilt because she enjoys it. My jaw dropped when I read some of that stuff. Read the book then see the movie. If your not crying or touched you must not have a heart..
I love this book and would recommend that every take a chance to read it before watching the movie. I cant wait to check out the movie..i hope its as good as the book.
ooo shit, thismovie gon be good as hell. I alway want to read the book but I never the chance to, so all of a sudden I'm looking for the book and I come across this. My sister was telling me about a movie with Mo'nique she wanted to see, tis is so fuckin coincidential
this movie looks so good, i got tears in my eyes just watchin and now i want to read the book i can not wait to see this movie!!! Mo'nique did the damn thing in this flick right here
I'm finally getting the chance to read this book now and I'm barely getting through it its so sad and heart breaking. I'm looking forward to the movie, especially seeing Mariah.
I can't wait to see this movie. I read the book and it's the most shocking novel I've ever read. There is not reprieve. With every page that's turned yet another horrendous abuse is perpetuated on this poor girl. I can't wait to see how the actress who portrays Precious carries the role. It's not an easy role, its extremely demanding. I hope that the movie is as good as the book. And what a change for Monique! Wow! From a comedian to an evil villain!
I read the book like 15yrs ago and always wondered if this book will be too visually and emotionally hard for the big screen then plus i thought they might half-ass it. But with tyler perry and oprah behind it, this will be a good product.
Just from the trailer I'll bet that Mo'Nique will be nominated for best supporting actress in the Oscar, Golden Globe, and any other awards out there!
