Maybe The Most Surprising Film At Sundance...Ever

A film adaptation of author Sapphire's novel Push is scoring very positive feedback from Sundance.

This is nothing short of incredible, seeing as how the book dealt with incest, rape and HIV, and the movie version (called Precious, as to avoid confusion with the super lackluster hero movie Push) stars Mariah Carey and Mo'Nique.

Yes. You read that correctly.

If you're somehow forgetting, Mariah Carey starred in Glitter and Mo'Nique was in Phat Girlz, and both of those movies were more unwatchable than a snuff film. But, yes, Mariah Carey and Mo'Nique were the two selected to carefully play a social worker and a mother in a movie that deals with incest, rape and HIV.

The only film that would be more surprising to receive rave reviews would be if the girls from The Hills and the guys from the reality series Tool Academy starred in a film adaptation of Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses or...just about anything by Thomas Pynchon.

Or...maybe Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers doing a musical film version of James Joyce's Ulysses. That would be...I can't even fathom what I would do if something like that received good publicity. I just know that the rapture would soon follow.
