I actually got a chance to check out Precious on it's opening night and I am soo happy that I got a chance to see such a great movie. The acting was great as well as the story line... I love the message and the fact that it was based on common people in situations that seem to be overlooked in out world. I am also glad that I purchased my tickets online because it was sold out and I didn't realize that it would be such a big success with little to no advertising.
