Precious Movie Trailer

Perhaps one of the most difficult trailers to watch released so far in 2009 features both Mariah Carey, Mo'nique and Lenny Kravits in Precious, due out in theatres in November.

Clarice "Precious" Jones is a sixteen year old with big dreams--she wants to be on magazine covers and in videos on BET. Of course, she's also got big difficulties--she's sixteen, still in junior high and pregnant with her second child. But can she overcome her many struggles to make something of herself? Check out the Trailer!

There are two ways to go on this one--one, to herald it as a story of triumph over adversity, or two, to decry it as a piece that has been done several times before and brings very little new to the table. The resemblance between Precious and earlier work like Lean on Me, Dangerous Minds, Higher Learning, and even the mockery of same High School High from the Zuckers suggests that this is a very old theme. Which way are you leaning with this one? Hit the comments section below and weigh in, and thanks for watching!

When she cried and said nobody loved her, I cried too.

Her mother is jealous of her in my eyes. Clarice could've had her dreams come true, her mother knew it, and because she could never do it, she feels she has to stop her daughter from achieving her dreams. If anyone has a relationship similar to this, remember you can do anything, nobody can put you down.

@CaitlinRawr101 Well said. I saw this movie last night on Netflix and I was floored. And I am still in shock that Mariah Carey can actually act - she was phenomenal. 'Precious' is a true American tragedy.
