November 6th, 2009
your bogus how about we see what u look like n im sure it aint makaveli.. lol . she makes more money than u now and she rich like biggie so keep talkin trash lol.
November 6th, 2009
hey lady i was just stating a simple observation. she does look like a female biggie. i don’t care if she makes more money than me, money isn’t the ultimate goal in life to me.. everyone has their own priorities, i guess for you it’s money.
would you rather be rich and be blind like stevie wonder-and never get to see your money? or rich and fat like biggie and get shot down, or die from a heart attack for being too fat? i’m sure the answer is no.

November 8th, 2009
I’m sorry if offended you both: lady & lovely09honey. You both must be fat too… I recommend exercise and a healthy eating habit

I am amazed that those who choose to comment after watching the trailer or reading the book “Push” is about trivalness. When one has the opporturnity to enlighten, uplift, inspire with words, one chooses to add more hatred and bitterness to the world. I am moved by this film. I’m moved by the hope that it gives young women who have come to believe that there is no hope. I am touched by its simplicity and its ability to transform realities well beyond this website. For those of you who resign youselves to trivality it is my prayer that you grow in spirit.

I just saw this film at Sundance, and it was truly amazing. I confess Idid not read the book (I will now), but I suspect that Daniels reallytook it to the next level. The story of Precious and her world wasdeeply moving and supremely well acted. I was particularly surprised atmy own ability to laugh, along with the story, at the worst humanitycan throw at us. After the film, Daniels, the producers, and the entirecast came forward to many standing ovations. Gabby was indeed charming,and I was particularly riveted by Mo'Nique's discussion of how she wasable to become Mary, Precious' mother. Daniels fielded many questionsfrom the audience, mostly directed at the task of realizing this story.I hope to see his work again. This is a heavy film, but I highlyrecommend it.

Something is wrong with you people it doesnt matter what she looks like she out there doing her thing getting in life what are you doing?
November 14th, 2009
I agree with dana. That whats wrong with “us”. Meaning sisters. We are just like “crabs in a barrel”. Please stop it, it is uncalled for. Point blank this movie is the truth. It is showing how it is hard out there for sisters. But God puts people in ur life for a reason. Please stop throwin “SALT” into people game & start being motivating.

November 16th, 2009
been wanting to see this!

i agree with lady and dana with how hard it is to come up and this world defanitly doesnt need more hatred.but things arent just hard for ’sisters’.its hard for anyone who was born into poverty,its very hard to get out.it aes it even harder when you have childrn real young.young women defanitely need more hope and moivation.this world is full opportunities they just need to believe in themselves
(: ladies remember u can do anything if u want it bad enough!
