The Oprah Winfrey/Tyler Perry/Lee Daniels movie Precious has received plenty of buzz in recent weeks. Now the public can see what the buzz is all about when the film hits theaters today.
Precious is an adaptation of author Sapphire’s best-selling novel about an overweight, illiterate African-American teen from Harlem who discovers an alternate path in life after she begins attending a new school. Clareece “Precious” Jones is only a teenager, yet she’s about to give birth to her second child. Unable to read or write, Clareece shows little prospect for the future until discovering that she has been accepted into an alternative school. There, with a little help from a sympathetic teacher (Paula Patton) and a kindly nurse (Lenny Kravitiz), the young girl receives something that most teens never get — a chance to start over. The film also stars Mariah Carey and Mo’nique, whose powerful performance is already receiving whispers of an Oscar.
This film seems to be a “MUST SEE” and one we highly recommend you check out beginning today. But in the meantime, here’s a sneak peek of what to expect:
