“PRECIOUS” IS EASILY ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF THE YEAR
If you’ve been looking forward to seeing the movie “Precious,” you might be surprised to learn that MANY moviegoers have been waiting for this one to open. It’s surprising, considering the subject matter – the story of an obese, illiterate, teenage girl struggling in Harlem to survive under unbearable conditions. It’s not pretty, but the brilliant director Lee Daniels successfully adds humor and fantasy to the desperate story, plus, and most important, hope. It’s a heartbreaking but life affirming movie that illustrates the world is not ALL bad. And one can always improve one’s circumstances. Every character is well cast and the story will pull you right in. Robin Thicke’s wife Paula Patton is a great discovery as a caring teacher. This is a very special movie. Bring some kleenex when you see it.

Janet — I have been wanting to see this since a colleague passed on the trailer to me months ago. I can’t wait! I thought that Meryl Streep would be a shoo-in for her performance as Julia Child, but I have a feeling that this film is going to blow the Academy away!

But will the liberals get this is real life and they are supporting it happening more times than not keeping the poor down and broken for socialist votes?

I’m just gonna watch parts of it on YouTube – it’s too damn sad to pay money to see this suffering.

Gee, Janet, sounds like somebody jumped right on that Oprah train !! This movie is being hyped like crazy. I read the book and it is good, but very depressing. It doesn’t let up, AT all ! I’ve heard the movie is the same way. I won’t pay to see a film that depresses me !
