Monster's ball producer Lee Daniels follows up his 2005
directorial debut, 'Shadowboxer', with this adaptation of author Sapphire's
best-selling novel about an overweight, illiterate african-american teen from Harlem who discovers an alternate path in life after she begins attending a new
school. Clareece 'Precious' Jones is only a teenager, yet she's about to give
birth to her second child. Unable to read or write, Clareece shows little
prospect for the future until discovering that she has been accepted into an
Alternative school. There, with a little help from a sympathetic teacher (Paula Patton) and a kindly nurse (Lenny Kravitiz), the young girl receives something
that most teens never get -- a chance to start over. Mo'nique co-stars in an
inspirational drama featuring the debut performance of screen newcomer Gabourey Sidibe.
