The Help (The Movie)

A look at what happens when a southern town's unspoken code of rules and behavior is shattered by three courageous women who strike up an unlikely friendship.

PG-13
137 minutes
Emma Stone, Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer
©2011





Based on the book, The Help - Kathryn Stockett
, which I reviewed and posted HERE.



My Opinion:
This was exactly what I hoped it would be. It was almost identical in comparison, with only a few small differences. They didn't matter, since it is such a powerful story, told either way in book or film.
That only means that there is no reason whatsoever why as to you missing it.
That can only mean I think it's a must-see!
I really loved the book, and loved the film too. It was nice seeing it come to life.


9/10


Recommend? Definitely, but not for children. They are impressionable.

    I saw this the past weekend and loved it! I haven't read the book, I prefer to read the book first but that didn't work out for me.

    I'm so happy you enjoyed it. I'm hoping to see it soon, but was worried it would be a disappointment.

The legendary wizard, Merlin, appears and explains that the throne of Camelot must be determined through TRIAL BY COMBAT. Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court. REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
