Precious: The Review

How do you turn a monsterously Obese; and un attracitve female Lead Protaganist into a likeable character that the audience not only emotionally invests in, but GENUIENLY wants to see come out okay?

.... I dont know either!

(slap a Kangol on her and call it Notrious?!)

HAHAH!!!!... i mean- shut up.

(and if ya dont know.. now ya KNOW!)

But this movie brings it and Brings it HARD!!!

Precious is some chick that lives in the suuuuper suuuuuper ghetto with her equally over -weight an un attractive mother played by Big Fat Monique ( who gives the perofrmance of a life time!!!!)

I cannot explain to you how captivating and emotionaly disturbing this movie is.

I dont know how you can tell such a smart and sharply written story about really crass un educated people; and stil make it entertaining; funny; honest; and .... just a GREAT movie.

(Monique seen here doing the Diabetes Shuffle)

"go down tothe welfare office and get you some chicks ya-old fat ass!"

-now?

"NO!!! not NOW!!!.. its 9 AT NIGHT!!!!! go down dare in the MORNING.. ya bigg ass idiot!"

not only that the movie is un-blinkingly "raw" when necessary; but at the same time extremley polished with flawlessly unexpected special effects and hilarious, yet sadly necessary dream sequences.

(A Seen from Moniques next film 2pac; a retrospective of the legendary rappers life had he been overweight... and a women.... too many fat jokes?)

Daym Zia; you wanna get off this movies jock?

you know what?

no... I dont..

There is not a single thing i'd change about this movie. Infact I think its important for everyone to see it, bc to be HONEST wih you?

stuff like this REALLY does happen, and this movie captures it as is. Granted there were a FEW parts that were shown just to demonstrate the lack of class or any sense of sophistication on behalf of Monique ;that i thought were a touch unnecessary... but Hey.... if you say " take it or leave it"?

imma TAKE IT!!

wait..

im not sure what i just agreed to.

Kudos to Mariah Carey for doing such a plain jane role; and doing a terrific acting job.

(Both Mariah Carey [Left] and Micheal Jackson [Right] make a cameo in the film)

actually you know what Kudos ALL around!!.... to everyone ecspecially that PRETTY little thing who teaches precious-ses class?

umm... i'd try to get my GED too if i KNEW she was gunna be teachin Zia how to Read Good!

(lookin GOOD sweetheart!?... who the one on the left or right?)

Ay Mami i dont know the alphabet and alla that, but maby we should switch it up and put "U" and "I" together what you thinkin about that sweetheart?

... fair enough mr. Ahmad. if you can recite the alphabet flawlessly i'll make out with you here and now.
.................................................

um...........

L?

"im sorry Zia; that is incorrect!"

AUGHHH!!!!! i lost yet ANOTHER WOMEN because of my LBCs!!!!!

6 stars outta 5!
