Pretty Good

Excellent adaptation.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

After watching the full movie in one sitting-- I couldn't help myself but to directly write my thoughts about it. And rarely this happens to me, simply because writing a review for a certain movie would often leave me wondering about what to say about it. However this one, succeeded into making me feel the humor, wonder and closure in one full length film. The Help is as pretty and as lovely as it was engaging for viewers to watch. At first, I didn't really know what to expect, but as the story dived in further, I found myself glued to my seat. Right after, I was informed through the credits that it was based from a novel, which made it all the more exciting. Now, I've gotten myself curious as to how different or similar the book in contrast to the one on screenplay. And to be perfectly honest, if the directors were able to write a screenplay this good, as well as produce a very interesting movie, I think there is a lot more to read about the book. Nonetheless, Emma Stone and the rest of the cast did a wonderful job! And if I must say, if there are any parts of this movie that I've enjoyed the most-- it would be the black american's perspective and the struggle to find strength just to say that one simple word in the face of adversity. "Eat mah sh#$T" Overall: Awesome! Hoping to be able to find more movies like these in the future!

Positives: Some convincing acting Some beautiful scenery and wardrobe Some positive messages / uplifting Gets the viewer thinking about an important topic - I'm only in my twenties and didn't know that black women played such a large role in raising white children - has led me to talk to older individuals about what they knew about this happeningNegatives: Some parts weren't integrated enough / so many characters and story lines - I felt like the part with Stuart wasn't carried out well and it should have been worked into the movie differently - because he hadn't been on the screen or mentioned in so long, the breakup scene seemed unbelievable to me Not sure how well it represents history - the main black women in the movie were made to look really large and not pretty at points like when they were shown in the grocery store

When I was in high school, my Speech Teacher/Forensics Team Coach gave me this book to look for monologues. He told me that it was a great read, too! However, I didn't want to read it or find a monologue within it. I let my sister borrow it, and I returned it back to him. My sister loved the book! Then, they made the movie... Boy, I kicked myself for not reading it or finding a monologue.

I wanted to see this film earlier,but the length of it made me postpone it.I was wrong.It was so good.It shows how black people are treated by the white and it is so sincere.I wish people weren't so racists.Although we live in the 21st century,nothing has changed since the ages of caves.Women,black people and weak people are treated really bad.I liked that the author was white but in reality no white would lose his/her friends to defend black people.I liked the cake Bryce Dallas Howard ate.It was so funny.Unfortunately,injustice will always prevail.
