But it looks brutal and beautiful - sign me up. I actually want to see this too, which is surprising because I tend to shy away from anything with Oprah’s name attached to it.

It seems possible, especially since Lionsgate is releasing this in the Oscar-friendly season. Also... Lenny Kravitz is in the movie, too. If CeCe Peniston plays somebody's auntie, then I'm buying the DVD. And K., based on the Variety review of the Sundance screening (and Sasha's comment on the book), I'm fully expecting this movie to be the weeper of the year. But good tears. Here's the Variety review, which hints at the baby issue you noticed in the trailer: http://www.variety.com/index.asp?layout=festivals&jump=review&id=2471&reviewid=VE1117939367 JNez, wouldn’t it be awesome if Mo’Nique got an Oscar nomination?

I'm totally going to see this. I am, like, excited to see this. The only thing that gives me pause is Paula Patton - I saw Idlewild, and ... no. She's good in that Robin Thicke video, but then again, all she has to do is flirt with her real-life husband. I agree about Mariah - I did a double-take. I'm actually not surprised about Mo'Nique; I think there's more there than "Skinny Bitches are Evil." Looks like a weeper, though. (The counselor says she's pregnant with her second child and I only saw one baby ...) Holy shit. I’m totally going to see this. I am, like, excited to see this.

I remember reading it probably 15+ years ago, sitting in the waiting room at a car repair shop, bawling my eyes out. I'm not sure I can handle seeing the movie.
