Mo'Nique Stars in New Film

Filmmaker Lee Daniels of Monster’s Ball fame is taking his latest film, “Push”, to the Sundance Film Festival. The film is based on the book “Push and stars Mo’Nique, Paula Patton, Lenny Kravitz, Mariah Carey, Kimberly Russell, and Sherri Shepherd of 'The View.
"Working again with Mo'Nique was like going home," Daniels told BlackVoices.com today. "We're family."
Precious, as she is known, has no friends, no money, two kids (from her father), and she's illiterate. After being accepted into an alternative school where a teacher (played by Patton) helps her find an alternative path in her life. Along her journey, she comes across a concerned social worker (played by Carey) and a nurse (played by Kravitz) who shows her much kindness.
"Ever since I read the book, I saw Push as a movie," Daniels explained. "And finally after Sapphire saw my film, 'Shadowboxer,' she granted me the rights." Source
The story sounds good. Then again so did Monster’s Ball until I saw Halle Berry fugger it up. Hopefully this cast will do a better job with it.
