But like... the circumstances surrounding the lives of these character are a combination of the most unbelievable circumstances one could imagine. ALL placed within this film for the sake of tear jerking. I don't have the heart of a killer. I'm sure the movie would hit a nerve and I'd have some sort of emotional reaction to at least one situation presented. But a film like this is almost like comedies that go for the cheap laugh. It appears to be unintelligent and unimaginative.

I'll wait until one of my relatives cop from their local bootlegger.

Man, I know it's human nature and all.... But it's frustrating when people judge a book by it's cover. "ALL placed within thisfilm for the sake of tear jerking".

Come on man. Watch the flick before going THAT far with the criticism.

Me personally, I didn't want to see this flick at all. Shorty was dying to see it though so we made a compromise. And I'm happy to say it wasn't asbad as I thought it would be.

I agree that the cut scenes were a bit jarring/out of place (though the one they did in Spanish was pretty funny). I guess I got tired of seeing her lightskin, wavy hair boy-toy.

But other than that, the STRONG performances (Monique, Mariah, Precious, Ms Rain) were captivating enough to carry the film. Especially Monique.

It wasn't even that bad of a tear-jerker. I didn't feel the urge to cry or get choked up at all. I think the part that the audience got quiet/emotionalover was the part where Precious was in class and wrote "why me?" in her book. (People who saw the flick will know what I'm talking about).

Overall, it's not the type of flick I'd spend money to go see. I'm more of an action/adventure movie guy. But the movie was a good story.

Funny and/or positive parts:
- Naming the child Mongloid
- Paula Patton

Got damn she looked good. Didn't know that was Robin Thicke's wife.
- The Jamaican chick.

@ what she wrote on the chalkboard

=

Woulda never guessed....

- And the lil skinny chick who was like the ghetto Barbie.

Movie was straight.

Even had an appearance from ol' girl from Head Of The Class.

For the guys asking... Girl in the pink is Karlie Lewis as already mentioned.

Born in New York and raised with her West Indian family in Trinidad, Karlie Lewis entered the entertainment arena at an early age. She showed an affinity for the camera at a young age. When she was 12, Karlie continued to hone her skills studying voice, music, and dance at the Harlem School of the Arts. She also toured with the prestigious Alvin Ailey Dance Company while continuing to model and act.

Always striving for more she then moved to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career. Though working as an actress, Karlie has always been interested in the making of a film and dreamed of someday becoming a film director. Growing up in the Bronx, she has always had a desire to express her experiences with the world through film so she moved to Los Angeles to pursue her career. She attended the program at The Los Angeles Film School while still auditioning for roles as an actor to make ends meet. This program gave her the opportunity to make her first 16mm film Michael's Walk. Thru hard work and perseverance this film was a success. Karlie is the first African American woman director to graduate from her class. With help from sponsors she went on with her dreams to film Most Wanted, which is based on a true story. Karlie is determined to make it as a film director. Her goal is to bring images and stories to life that you may have seen in a way that has never been presented before.

Karlie is also a Dance Hall recording artist. Still honing her craft, she has worked with several producers such as Sean Kingston, Claudette Ortiz from City High, Da Rock, the legendary KRS-1, new hot rapper Hot Dollar, Will I Am, and super producer Lenky responsible for the 1 International smash "Get Busy" by Sean Paul. Karlie has also recorded remixes to the songs "Hate on Me" by Jill Scott and "Bed" by J. Holiday.

And shorty in the blue is D. Woods from Danity Kain.

That should satisfy the beasts.

I think it's kind of ironic that the only thing some folks took away from this movie is how attractive some of the non-main characters are. I mean, of allmovies..THIS one.

 

[YouGotThese]

I saw the movie 2 weeks ago and thought it was alright. Nothing to epic in this film the previews already gave you a brief synopsis of what the movie wasabout.

But the Jamaican girl was hilarious, The one girl who wanted to be a video model was funny also (she's from a mini series on HBO called "Shades ofBrooklyn")

The scene when Precious brought her 3 day old baby home for the first time and Monique wanted to hold it you new something crazy was about to happen i thinkthe whole theater looked away at that point during the film. i give the movie 7 out of 10.
