Oprah wants everyone to see "Precious," so will you?

I'm so up for seeing this film. It looks so amazing but heartbreaking.  I'll be heading down to the cinema for sure.

My heart just jumped.  I'm so seeing this if it comes to my local area.  Paula Patton playing a Lesbian teacher in this film.  Seriously, I just died and gone to heaven.

ever since I first saw the trailer.  I even went to B&N to start reading the book, but had to leave cause my movie was about to start. lol 

It looks really good, and I look forward to seeing it. 

Forget Oprah--this write-up and accompanying pictures make me want to go see it!

to see a rough cut of this last year sometime.  It was moving, depressing, and amazing.  

Its one of the few films I've remember to recommend since I've seen it.

I've read the book, so I'll definitely watch the film too.

"Hey nerds! Guess who's got two thumbs, speaks limited french and hasn't cried once today? This moi!"

i've wanted to watch this film since i saw the first trailers. and my brother, a 15-year-old feminist, is excited about this film and Amelia Earhart with Hilary Swank.

waiting in line to see this movie. Can't wait!

Keep the makeunder. It suits you.

No, really. Maybe do some kind of middle ground between that and your everyday look.  

 Seriously, I thought this film looked amazing before I knew there were lesbians involved, and that's like icing on the cake of awesomeness.

Everytime I see an article, I think its been released.  I want to see this now!

I haven't read the book, but I saw the trailer in the movies this weekend and it made me cry. That's rare that I will start crying from a preview.

  I will definitely go see this.

about seeing it even with Oprah and Tyler promoting it, that was until I saw the trailer.  Now... very interested.

Yup- I'll be there.  I read the book earlier this year and it was a tough one to get through (esp. the explicit sex scenes between Precious and her father) but I will be there to support this film, which has an all-black cast, based on the book by a black, out author and directed by a black, out director.

Yup- I'm there. :0)

I've wanted to see this since it was buzzed about on the festival circuit. Not really into depressing films unless they looks Oscar-worthy, and this trailer definitely makes it look like it.

If J-Hud can win an Oscar, then Mimi can too. (especially after looking at Jennnifer's acting in Sex in the City post-Oscar, I think the Academy can forgive Mariah's role in Glitter).

hugs are like little ounces of comfort covered in a quart of love.

My friend showed me the trailer a while ago and I teared up just watching it. I definitely want to see this but it seems like something I'd cry my eyes out and be really emotional about. Perhaps I'll see it with my mother...

I'm definitely going to go see it, despite the fact that Terry Perry is involved.  

I mean, I teared up while watching the original trailer.

There's no way I'm missing this movie.

I saw the trailer for this when I was in the cinema. I looked amazing..really deep and interesting. Also, it is nice to see a fresh topic being dealt in the cinema. Will definately be going to see it! 

I'm definately watching this movie:-)

november 6th? Im there. Gotta find out what time and day they will be playing it in Dublin.

It looks like a good movie :)

Just watched this recently in a film festival and I still think about it at times.  

This really was an incredible experience. I heard lots before actually seeing it, but now I just go around recommending it to everybody. I didnt even know that actress was Mariah Carey until I read this, god I love her more than ever now.

 Its amazing, I'm not usually into anything that Operah says, but this is one thing she did that got my full support and love.

I teared up TWICE during the movie, its just incredible.

The book was amazing. The movie seems just as amazing to me! Can't wait to see it!

Take a look/listen at myspace (www.myspace.com/robinjayunplugged) and add me as your friend! See ya @ myspace!!!

Oh dear.  It looks like something I'd have to have someone with me to watch.  I cry easily at films, and if it's going to be a tough one, I will be a wreck.

...an oscar or maybe even more.

This movie looks really good. I will definitely see it. Not sure if I'll go to the cinema, though. I don't like crying in public. And this movie definitely looks like a tear jerker.

As far as Oprah, I pay attention to her and have read some of her book suggestions. This movie, I don't think needs her okay but definitely to get the word out so people know about it. Sometimes Oprah recommends things because of the black story, and has also been taken in by frauds, so that is something to consider, but overall I think she is someone to listen to because she has her heart in the right place, is a humanitarian, and genuinely cares.

There were two films that taught me that there are certain films I can not watch in public, The Color Purple and Sarafina...because of sobbing (crying at movie theaters I can deal with)...I would have to wait until it is on DVD. Even from the stills and short description it's obvious this is a heart breaker.

The hardest thing I have ever read in my life and then they cut so much out and it is still has the classic elements of a drama....Oscar Worthy indeed. 

Matt's world you just live in it!

No.  I read the book a couple of months ago and that made me even more interested in seeing the film.  (Hopefully they do the book justice.) I was going to see this film regardless of Oprah Winfrey backing it.  I must admit, I do avidly check out books and movies that she recommends.  As far as products...no.

Not because Oprah recommended it but because I read the book a few months and was excited when I knew it had been made into a movie. It looks amazing and tragic all at once so it's a must see in my book.

Puh-lease. That woman couldn't make me do a damned thing other than change the channel. I'll see it because AE reported on this movie some time ago and there was no 'boost' from the so-called Queen Of Daytime Talk Shows And Sticking My Nose In Everywhere.

Er... sorry. Never going to be a fan of hers and I can't stand it when people bend over backwards for her, like she's going to come and personally thank you...

Onto something positive - this movie, as difficult as it could be to watch, it was undoubtedly more difficult to perform in, to direct and to create so the least we can do is watch it, even if we're hiding behind our milk duds.

Oprah is so influential in a positive way!

I read this book earlier this year when I was in dire need to read books from people of color in a town when I was the only black person.  This was one of the few books the library had. Its really a great book!
