The acting is phenomenal, but there's little else to say about this one. It's a Cinderella story of the most basic kind, so there's little narrative complexity. Mo'Nique is pretty fierce, and Gabby Sidibe holds her own in her debut performance. It didn't leave a lasting impression on me, other than a few sad moments. An Oscar contender, for sure, but only for its acting.
Side Note: Mariah Carey doesn't wear make-up at all in this movie.
Buy? - No.
