The Help
PostedAugust 11, 2011

I was a big fan of the book, and wasn't sure how the movie would measure up. Yes, there were things in the book that were left out of the movie. But, the movie was a wonderfully told story that hit the high points from the book very well, and did the book justice for sure. I absolutely loved it! I would not hesitate to take my 11 year old to see it either.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I took my daughter and her friend to see this. We all loved it! Yes, it was predictable, but such a sweet story. I liked that they tied up the plot lines neatly instead of leaving us hanging or being totally unrealistic. It was clean and family-friendly enough to enjoy with my 10 year old and I really appreciate that. (If you are taking your young daughter, though, watch out for the preview of "Easy A.")
Yes, I recommend this movie.

One of the Best Movies in a Long Time

My husband and I took our kids, aged 10 and 12. We were all absolutely riveted by the story. It provoked laughter, cheers, and tears, like a great movie should. To know that it is a true story, though, made it a good conversation starter as well. It is truly one of the best movies I can ever remember seeing. Go see it - you won't be sorry!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
