The Help (Blu-ray/DVD, 2011, 2-Disc Set)

Tate Taylor, Viola Davis, Emma Stone|Theatrical release: 2011 | Rating: PG-13 (MPAA)

Movie synopsis

A 1960s-era Mississippi debutante sends her community into an uproar by conducting a series of probing interviews with the black servants behind some of her community's most prominent families. Skeeter (Emma Stone) has just graduated from college, and she's eager to launch her career as a writer. In a moment of inspiration, Skeeter decides to focus her attention on the black female servants who work in her community. Her first subject is Aibileen (Viola Davis), the devoted housekeeper who has been employed by Skeeter's best friend's family for years. By speaking with Aibileen, Skeeter becomes an object of scorn to the wealthy locals, who view her actions as directly challenging to the established social order. Before long, even more servants are coming forward to tell their stories, and Skeeter discovers that friendship can blossom under the most unlikely of circumstances. Bryce Dallas Howard co-stars in a touching tale of race relations based on author Kathryn Stockett's best-selling novel of the same name.

Editorial reviews

"Where THE HELP succeeds magnificently though is in character portraits by actresses Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer."
Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt (08/07/2011)

"THE HELP is Davis's movie, and it's about time."
Movieline - Stephanie Zacharek (08/10/2011)

"The warmly engaging book has been made into an equally affecting movie."
USA Today - Claudia Puig (08/12/2011)

"The movie is richly flavored by the work of a sprawling cast that puts the exceptional Viola Davis and Emma Stone at the film's impassioned center..."
Los Angeles Times - Betsy Sharkey (08/10/2011)

3.5 stars out of 4 -- "A deeply touching human story filled with humor and heartbreak....The actors are sublime."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (08/18/2011)

3 stars out of 5 -- "[E]vocatively directed by Southern-bred Tate Taylor....You'll want second helpings of Spencer's sassy comic timing, Davis' humility...and Allison Janney's brilliant brand of crazy."
Total Film - Jane Crowther (12/01/2011)

first of all I was impressed with how fast it got here...way before the due date...The Help was a wonderful movie. I purchased it because of all the hype from those who had read the book. This is my first Blu-ray, I will purchase more blu-ray's.
Purchasing from E-bay is easy, cheeper and and all the movies I have ordered has been in good shape, I only buy movies from e-bay. I passed the Help around to all my friends to prove the point. What difference does color make..I was ashamed of the white ladies and I am a white lady.

is a great movie. I also read the book and the movie certainly follows the book, unlike some movies. It's happy, sad and such a wonderful story about the lives in the South of wealthy families and their interactions with their "Help" or maids as told by "The Help." Highly recommend

This movie has it all. It does not disappoint. I have to watch it again because I laughed so hard for so long I missed some of it. I also cried in some parts. The writing is genius while the acting is just fabulous. You will be left with a feeling of awe, just like myself and my friends who watched it with me. Honestly, the cast could not have been better chosen for they roles they each portrayed.
It's a movie about a different time. It was so disturbing, but the people were real and it really takes you back to that time, but this time we can see it from a different point of view. It proves that a sense of humor really does go a long way. Oh yea, and it teaches us that REVENGE IS SWEET! That's the best part of the movie!!!!!!!!

I collect Blurays and had heard good things about this movie. The movie is pretty good including the star but I think the correct person got the Oscar, the co-star Minnie. The writer of the book plays her part very well. I also like the woman that Minnie ended up working for. She reminds me of the next door neighbor on Subugatory. Pretty good movie. 3.5 out of 5 stars.
