Has anyone seen the movie "THE HELP"???

I saw it last night with a local book club. Incredibly slow movie but had some great stuff in it.

I am not surprised at how hateful and shallow the white women were. There were so many of them I couldn't keep them straight.

Sissy Spacek was great comic relief.

1. Yep...really liked it

That being said, the book was a whole lot better. The movie followed the book fairly well, however it left out of lot of details.
"Hateful" is putting it mildly...disgusting how people treat other people. Good ole "bible" belt hate at it's finest.

And you call yourself a Christian.

Here's a tidbit for you. (I just found this out myself) Hilly was played by Bryce Howard...Ron Howard's daughter! Man, I feel old.

9. The author's being sued by the real woman whose story she stole.

I wouldn't want to put money in her pocket, having read the story of the real woman she exploited to make a buck. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2033369/Her-family-hired-maid-12-years-stole-life-Disney-movie.html
