What to Expect: Clareece "Precious" Jones is an overweight, illiterate African-American teen in Harlem. Just as she's about to give birth to her second child, by her father, Jones is accepted into an alternative school where a teacher helps her find a new path in her life.
What Caught Our Eye: Not your average leading lady. Not the usual ensemble cast: Mariah Carey, Lenny Kravitz. All should make this raw buzz film -- already kicking up snow -- a trendy indie ticket.
