Mariah Carey in New Movie Precious, Clearly Learned Nothing From Glitter

Okay, this won the Grand Jury Special Prize at Sundance, so to be fair, it's probably a step or two up from Glitter. Also, Mariah's character looks like some kind of haggard, world-weary social worker, and everyone knows the key to making pretty people act better is to make them look worse (see Charlize Theron in Monster, Hilary Swank in Boys Don't Cry), so her performance probably isn't terrible. With that in mind, it's good to see that Mariah made it "Through the Rain" (or the glitter, so to speak), and took another crack at acting.

Precious is expected to received a limited release Nov. 6.

The person writing about the movie is obviously a hater or has not seen the trailer. She has been getting rave reviews for this role.

Yeah "Glitter" was OKAY but "Precious" looks amazing.

I can already tell it's going to win a TON of awards. Go Mariah Carey!

First anyone who has seen glitter knows it wouldn't have been any better with Julia Roberts in it. Second anyone who has seen Wise Girls which Mariah has also received good reviews for knows she can act, the previews for precious look really good and one should research before writing snide reviews.
