This woman is a survivor and a fighter and my personal hero. She proves that no matter what you have been you can always succeed and become the best you can be. I am so glad that she is meeting her true potential as an actress and that roles like these are being presented for talented black actresses like her. I saw Precious this past weekend and was truly amazed by her performance; I have been a big fan of her stand up and it was inspiring to witness the many talents of this woman! Mo'Nique - you are just a natural born entertainer, baby! Keep up doing what you do. You inspire me!!! Mo’nique is brilliant. This woman is a survivor and a fighter and my personal hero.

It will over power your heart with joy and then again with less joy. When i first sat down and read the book my heart was filled with lots of compassion for precious character. This is a young girl who doesn't no anything but having her mothers botfriend lay up on her. She is clearly a comfused child crying out for help. This was a BEAUTIFUL movie as well as book. I have high amount of respect for not only the author but for the people who took the risk of beig apart of this movie. My love n respect goes out to Monique. I LOVE YOU DEARLY MONIQUE! You ability to motivate people has gotten me through some pretty tough times. All the Love, D'eja I believe that this movie will take your mind places that it has never been before.

When I viewed the preview for this film I told my lady that we must see your film. I said that because I believe that its an awesome film and that's just based on the snippet that I viewed. I have to see what becomes of the main characters. The issues that the characters go through in this film are extremely difficult and if they get through this ordeal, they can accomplish anything in life. Mo'Nique, I can't even imagine living in a household like the one portrayed in the film. Congrads on excellence again Mo'Nique. Congrads on another success Mo’Nique.

It haunted me. When I saw the trailer and heard Precious say nobody loves me. I broke down and cried. This story is so real and deserves to be told. I can not wait until it gets here. I only hope that when it is time to promote it, they let the young lady who plays Precious do interviews along with the big names. It is her characters story after all. I read this book years ago.
