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. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The Help bluray

Posted by: from Windsor,CO on 01/09/2012We saw the movie in the theaters and loved it. We also read the book before we saw the movie. The movie is probably one of the best I've ever seen. It sticks pretty closely to the book. The dvd version is just as good as the theaters.

A Must See Movie

Posted by: from Brooklyn, NY on 01/07/2012Apart from the excellent acting, this movie personally taught me a lot about a very dark period in this countries history. Have we come a long way? No. We need to go much further. 'The Help' deserves as many Oscars as it can garnish.
