The help was a truly remarkable movie, following not just the racial tension in the south but also the personal lives and struggles of those black and white. While the help suffered greatly at the hands of their employers it was their own home lives that bore the most pain. Domestic violence, segrigated neighborhoods, and busing all were spotlighted beautifully and gave a realistic undertone to the characters. I think I shed the most tears when Skeeter's mother told the tale of what really happened to their beloved maid. The pain in both Skeeter and her mother's face proved that while blood is thicker than water, it is easier to cast away those you love than it is to take on the social responsibility of life. I feel this movie is very worthy to take home awards, especially for Viola Davis. Her role was as real as it gets and I'm sure for her it was an eye opening and heart renching experience to relive the lives of many women of that era.

Me and my children went to see this movie and loved it! It was a pleasure to watch I would recommend this movie to my friends and family, I hope the Help wins an Oscar I be watching.

My son and I watched this movie and we both loved it. He wants this to win in all the categories it is nominated in. I was glad this was made into a movie and it did the book good.

I read the book and it was fantastic. Then I saw the movie and enjoyed it even more. The acting was phenomenal. I'm glad that it got some Oscar recognition. It was funny, emotional, dark. It had such great elements and depth to it. I have recommended this movie and the book to everyone I know. Five Stars isn't enough.

My daughter bought this movie for me. I love it so much I think they did a wonderful job. I have watched it several times. Not only are the actors perfect in their roles they also make you feel how it must have been for those women in that situation. I just can't say enough about how wonderful this film is.

The Help was a fantastic movie that really showed how these ladies in the south treated there help. I found some scenes to be very humorous especially a certain pie scene. Others were very sad and make you really think about how we relate and treat other people. I really enjoyed the movie . I was totally captivated by the film and the actors did a wonderful job with there roles.

This movie gave the insight on to what really happened back in the day! I loved how it was portrayed. My daughter who is 9 started to understand how awful they treated black people.

"The Help" was one of, if not, the best movie of the year. It brought to light societal and cultural issues of the 60's that many may not have realized went so far as to invade people's own homes. To show the lack of education of the white community at the time in hilighting the fear they had of the staff in their home was brilliant. It was a fabulous film and was wonderfully written, directed, and acted.

This movie is on the top of my favorites list. I consider my favorites to be movies that I can watch over and over again, and never get tired of seeing them. This movie is one of those. I absolutely adore it! Emma Stone's character Skeeter is a wonderful person. Skeeter told people like it was and didn't care what they thought about her. She came off as fearless and went after whatever she wanted. My favorite character was Minny played Octavia Spencer. Well let me just say this nobody messes with Minny. I will never see chocolate pie as the same as I did before the movie. The cast is great and the movie tells a wonderful story! LOVE IT!!!

This movie was incredibly moving and I cried at least once if not more. The characters are really strong and given a lot of depth so that we know how and why they think the things they do, which is rare in films these days it seems. I will watch this movie over and over, and when my daughter is old enough I will definately have her view it as well. I think it's important to always look back at history and see how minorities were treated and remind ourselves of where we have been and how we have grown - and this movie does just that with an amazing personal story of the housemaids/child care givers of the South in the 60's.

"The Help'' brings to the screen universal story, full of emotion, humor and hope, about the ability to make a difference. Story full of inspiration and strength, centering on bold and amusing characters, that make the heroines of their own life. Take a tissue and run to see!

I read the book several years ago and was a bit sceptical to watch the movie as they tend to omit, add, change things about the books when they are made into movies. I was so very surprised that I to discover that for the most part, the movie stayed pretty close to the book.

They did a really good job with this movie. I usually love the book alot more than the movie but I was very impressed at how well done the movie was. I recommend both the book and movie. They made some changes in the movie but it didn't make the message change. Read the book and see the movie both are great.

I read this book on Mothers Day 2 years ago. Could not put it down. Thank goodness it was my day to do nothing. Finished it in two days. I enjoyed the movie even more. I felt they stayed true to the story line.

I cant believe this was not nominated for an Oscar. It was the most captivating movie I had seen in a while, so true and uplifting. I had not read the book beforehand because I didnt want to ruin the movie for myself or my friend who watched it with me. We stayed glued to the TV from the beginning to end there was a twist and turn. The actors and actresses choice was phenominal as if they were the real intended people invoved, it was as if I was watching Breaking News. The author really is amazing for such a storyline and its sad the Oscars didnt see the true potential for such a heatfelt movie that had many crying in their seats.
