Returning for the sequel are Janet Jackson, Tyler Perry, Jill Scott, Malik Yoba, Sharon Leal, Tasha Smith, Michael Jai White, Lamman Rucker and Richard T. Jones.

Gathered together in the Bahamas for their annual one-week reunion, four close couples eagerly reconnect, sharing news about their lives and relationships. But their intimate week in paradise is disrupted by the unexpected arrival of Mike (Jones), who has crashed the vacation in hopes of winning back his ex-wife, Sheila (Scott).

The others soon realize they, too, are not immune to the challenges of commitment and fidelity. Angela (Smith) doesn't believe her husband, Marcus (White), can be faithful now that he's a celebrity television newscaster. The relationship between Dianne (Leal) and Terry (Perry) is feeling the strain of raising children. And Patricia (Jackson), a successful self-help psychologist, must finally reveal the deep flaws in her seemingly perfect marriage to Gavin (Yoba). With their relationships hanging in the balance when they return home, each couple must choose between blame and forgiveness and doubt and faith, with life-altering consequences.

Oprah Winfrey's Push for the 'Preciouses of the World'

As powerful and influential as Oprah Winfrey is, it's takes a deep subject matter to get her heavily involved with a project. Such is the case with her latest film, 'Precious: Based on a Novel by Sapphire,' in which she came on board with Tyler Perry as an executive producer.

Directed by Lee Daniels, the film is adapted from author Sapphire's best-selling novel about an overweight, illiterate African American teen from Harlem who discovers an alternate path after she begins attending a new school. Clareece "Precious" Jones is only a teenager, yet she's about to give birth to her second child. Unable to read or write, she shows little prospect for the future until discovering that she has been accepted into an alternative school.

There, with a little help from a sympathetic teacher (Paula Patton) and a kindly nurse (Lenny Kravitz), the young girl receives something that most teens never get -- a chance to start over. Mo'nique co-stars in an inspirational drama featuring the debut performance of newcomer Gabourey "Gabbie" Sidibe.

With three previous Oscar nominations ('Street Smart,' 'Driving Miss Daisy' and 'The Shawshank Redemption'), Morgan Freeman finally won the gold statue in 2005 for best supporting actor in Clint Eastwood's 'Million Dollar Baby.'

Hoping to capture another gold, the Memphis, Tennessee, native is teaming up once again with Eastwood in 'Invictus,' in which Freeman plays the famous South African President Nelson Mandela.

Co-starring in the film is Matt Damon, who won an Oscar for his screenplay of 'Good Will Hunting,' along with Ben Affleck, in 1997.

'Invictus' tells the inspiring true story of how Mandela joined forces with the captain (Damon) of South Africa's rugby team to help unite the country. Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sports, Mandela rallies South Africa's underdog rugby team as it makes an unlikely run to the 1995 World Cup Championship match.
