Hmmm…this movie sounds a lot like “Precious”.
does that mean that her HBO show is not coming back?
It does sound like Precious. I just hope it isn’t a cheesefest.
Jill scott in the movies?wow.I hope she doesnt stop singing.She sings great.
It’s nothing like Precious. It’s based on the book Orange, Mint and Honey by Carleen Brice. Can’t wait.
This is a story of a mother who is in recovery from alcohol abuse and her college aged daugther trying to mend their broken relationship. It is nothing like Precious. Two very great books I must add. Read the book before seeing the movie. Trust me you will enjoy it. I hope the movie will be a great adaptation of the book.
Does anyone know when it will air again, OR, where I can get it.
