* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks - Often criticized for being a rip off of ''Comicbook/{{X-Men}}'' or ''Series/{{Heroes}}''. The only similarity it has to either of them is PsychicPowers, which was around long before both.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny - Near the end, [[spoiler: Nick injects himself with a syringe that everyone believes has the super serum and fakes his death. After Cassie finds him, he asks what was actually in the syringe. It was soy sauce. Everyone was chasing a syringe of soy sauce, except for Cassie, who promptly pulls it from a nearby garbage bin.]]
** The [[spoiler: soy sauce]] may be a reference to JohnDiesAtTheEnd.
*** Injecting [[spoiler: soy sauce]] directly into one's bloodstream can't be good for one's health...

* TearJerker - Pretty much everything Precious goes through can pull on the heartstrings. However, there are 2 main tearjerkers: Precious finally having a breakdown after learning she is HIV positive, and the confrontation with her mother at the end, where it is revealed what happened to Precious when she was younger.

* FetishFuel / {{Gorn}} - Nick spends half of his screen time on his back writhing in pain. ''Someone'' is getting off on it, especially considering that this is [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Chris Evans]] we're talking about.
** Cassie, with her short skirts and sitting habits.
** Undoubtedly some got turned on when [[BadassLolita Cassie]] was pleading with [[ScaryBlackMan Carver]] not to [[MindControl make her]] [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean do anything to herself.]]

* ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch: People criticized the movie for trying to glamorize black poverty. Even though every second of the film was dedicated to showing how Precious' upbringing in this ungodly nightmare of a ghetto has all but completely ruined her life, leaving her a 16 year old illiterate, obese, [[spoiler: HIV stricken]], mother of two, that is still in the seventh grade.

!!!!The novel called Push has examples of:



* TearJerker - Pretty much everything Precious goes through can pull on the heartstrings.
* {{Wangst}}: Largely averted. Though she has very good reason to angst, Precious is usually [[AngstWhatAngst fairly calm]] about her circumstances, only breaking down once during the movie.
* TheWoobie: Precious, obviously. Poor, poor, poor, Precious.

* AdaptationDisplacement: A weird example. The novel is being repackaged as "Precious: Based on the novel 'Push' by Sapphire" following the success of the movie. So the new official title is effectively [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment "Precious: Based on the novel 'Push' by Sapphire (formerly Push: a novel by Sapphire)" by Sapphire]]. See OneMarioLimit.
