Mo'nique to star in "Precious"

Comedian Mo’Nique recently appeared on Oprah and promoted her latest movie endeavor, Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Saaphire. Now this isn’t the typical movie or role you’re used to seeing Mo’Nique in. Acclaimed producer and director Lee Daniels is the mastermind behind this very important, moving and highly-anticipated film. Precious tells the story of a Harlem, overweight, illiterate teen named Precious who is the victim of incest and subsequent pregnancies given the chance to take her life in a new direction when she enrolls in an alternative school. Mo’Nique plays Precious’ mother in the movie for which she earnedMo’Nique a best actor award at Sundance for her portrayal in this movie. This movie will definitely move people because this is the "dirty little secret" that nobody wants to talk about. Many people will identify with the characters in this movie and some may even find healing in the story (which is always a good thing). Just go out and support this pearl, I'm sure it will be worth it.
