I bought this film because I read the book first. I am glad I did, because it, like other books, is more intense than the movie, and it helps to fill in the gaps. It is a go...Read more

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)

I bought this film because I read the book first. I am glad I did, because it, like other books, is more intense than the movie, and it helps to fill in the gaps. It is a good movie, and I would see it again.

This is such a great movie. I loved it. Definitely worth taking the time to sit down and watch. It makes you stop and think about the way people are treated today and were horribly treated in the past. A very moving feature.

Great movie. I bought it for my wife and she loved it. I liked it too. Well written screenplay. Neat scenery and costumes - nostalgic. It is nice to have 3 versions on 3 discs - good options.

This was a Christmas gift for a friend, so I can't speak from personal experience. But my friend said she is very pleased with it. I have seen this movie and in my opinion, it is very well done.
