In Harlem, an overweight, illiterate teen who is pregnant with her second child is invited to enroll in an alternative school in hopes that her life can head in a new direction. |
| Trivia | The film was originally titled, ‘Push: Based on the Novel by Sapphire’, but the change was announced in February 2009, by Tyler Perry. It was confirmed soon afterwards by the film’s distributor Lionsgate. The change was made to avoid confusion with the 2009 action film Push (2009). |
| Goofs | Anachronisms: During the field trip, an image of the 1989 Tiananmen Square student protest is visible. This happened several years after the movie, which is set in 1987. |
