Lionsgate buys incest movie to cheer up recession viewers

Unemployed? Losing your house? Well, Lionsgate wants to cheer you up by paying $5.5 million for the distribution rights to "Push: Based on the Novel by Sapphire.” The film is about an obese black teenager who is impregnated by her father -- for the second time.


The Weinstein Co. is also fighting to distribute this cheerful film. Lionsgate is the studio that puts out all of those Tyler Perry films. Perry has actually been pushing this film. But there's some confusion. Let's be clear. This is not Tyler Perry dressed in drag! This is a very grim film with no laughs whatsoever. Well, then again with those Tyler Perry's movies...

If you haven't gotten your Tyler Perry-in-drag fix today, you're in luck.

Sorry. That was Martin Lawrence in "Big Mama's House." Here's the right clip.



Sorry again. That was Eddie Murphy in "Norbit." Here you go...
