I was holding off on this trailer because all I constantly heard was “Mariah, Mariah, Mariah” and she has not proven herself as a great actress yet. As days passed I heard more names; “Lenny Kravitz, Oprah Winfrey, Paula Patton, Sherri Shepherd, Mo’Nique, etc…” so I gave it a look. Wow o wow this trailer blew me away, I quickly sent this over to S so she could see. I foresee Academy Awards for this movie and if not other prestigious accolades.
The movie is based on the novel Push by Sapphire and is about a 16 year old named ‘Precious’ who has been abused in every way possible and has the thought engraved in her mind that she is worthless. Mo’Nique plays her abusive mother and abusive is highly understating her behavior. I hope we get to see ‘Precious’ give her a good cut ASS in this movie because Mo’s character is beyond crazy. Mariah Carey plays a welfare worker and from the preview it looks light years beyond Glitter. Wait she gets her props for Glitter because people thinks she did so horribly that they still remember her and the movie. Oh there’s so many elements from that trailer alone to analyze that buying a ticket to see it when it hits theaters is more than worth it.
