Frustrating trailer of the week: Precious


I really feel this is under-selling this movie. This trailer is clearly tailored specifically for the US African American audience, fronted by the Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry presents tag and then proceeds to look merely okay.

I think this trailer has hints of that and i pray they recut to cater for international audiences because otherwise i'll never convince my mates to watch this, and this is one of my must-sees for this year. Anyway, in the meantime the fairly generic and undersold trailer:
