This movie was absolutely incredible. It was very well acted out, and the story was so captivating! I had head to toe chills at times, and actually had to remind myself to breath at the end!
Inspiring young girl... To think people right now are being abused like that... you just gotta push yourself through it & believe in yourself, have that will stay strong! you can do anything... 1 thing, i wish the ending was more developped like about what happened to all her aspirations & dreams?
all men should see this movie
The abuse and language was real bad. I stayed for 90 minutes.
As hard as times are now, this movie lets me know that there is so much more we have to do. We as women, mothers, and just human beings must help each other. This movie was not just a Black movie, but a movie about the human condition going on in the world. If we just care for one person the girls facing these problems would be a thing of the past. this movie great and I am very proud of Precious and of all the girls that push themselves up.
I most say I thought this moive would just be another hood feel good moive but this was very well acted and so real. Real because I know so many young African American kids that face these problems with bad parents and broken homes and school system that does'nt work this movie was deep on so many levels. And it a wake up call for the broken black family. Thank god I had a two family house hold with parnets that loved me they where not perfect but they did there best but I know so many of my class mates and kids I grow up had jacked up familys just like that. Needs to get a oscar
Really didnt think this movie was that big of a deal. Its a renter.
Why me?...Why did I believe the Oprah hype.. The story is an " Ive seen it a million times before the story of the ghetto, of having the odds stacked against you, there wasn't any dialoge that stood out..the pretty teachaa sayin " ure baby loves you..pause..I love you ..I'd take a pass, don't believ the hype ppl.
I read the book before the movie, and the movie was excalty alike. Mariah was GREAT. It was emotional, yes! But it was heartfelt emotion. The movie was better then the book. I would love to see it again. This movie got to get a least a Oscar winning.
Mariah Carey is going to win Best Actress for this.
