It's not as Precious of your time wasted

By Yuki Aditya on March 14, 2010

Precious is as obvious and clear as the complexion of Mongol and her mother. When the ending credit rolled I kind of thanked God and cursed myself for the involvement of Tyler Perry. Thanking because of he’s not the one who directed it, and cursing because why i didn’t realise since the Precious recalling Perry’s usual depiction of that silly Madea character. And Precious is like Oprah herself in the talkshow, quiet and listening to her guests then talk a little to show some observations spiced-up with her funny side (ironically Precious mumbles on the voiceover that she even can’t digest simple conversations). It’s a kind of movie where people re-affirm themselves that they’ve been in her shoes and the helluva kind of place. It’s pity something we could learn about life is as thin as Mariah Carey’s make-up, not sexy bosom of Gabourey. Quoting Ray Carney “if you want to send message, use Western Union”.
