A film based on the novel "Push" by Sapphire - after winning much praise at the indie Sundance Film Festival ... has been sponsored by Oprah & Tyler Perry to come to the "big screen" ... on November 6, 2009. People are also speculating that Mrs. P.H.A.T. Mo'nique's performance could warrant Oscar nods ... I need to read the book before it comes out ... looks deep ... the trailer alone gave me goosebumps! ~PC

Oh, this movie looks very interesting. I will have to read the book first, too.
I guess I never imagined Monique not being goofy. Looks intense.

ill def have to see this
This movie looks very good. I don't like the fact that it is trying to mess up my street cred by making me feel emotional. I had to fight tears during the preview so I don't know about watching the whole movie. I shouldn't have expected anything less than tears from Tyler and Oprah working together though.
I just teared up some myself. It would take a lot for me to sit through that. Looks good.
