The Help
in theatres August 12, 2011
Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon, “The Help” stars Emma Stone (“Easy A”) as Skeeter, Academy Award®–nominated Viola Davis (“Doubt”) as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minny—three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed—even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times.
Deeply moving, filled with poignancy, humor and hope, “The Help” is a timeless and universal story about the ability to create change.
My husband and I were just discussing last night how this movie looks like it’s going to be “the movie” of the summer.
I can’t wait to see it next month and I am very excited to help celebrate it’s release with a giveaway!

I saw this book in the library. I didn’t know there was a movie too.
I found out that (one of ) the leading ladies is Amy Adams. I had seen the trailer once on TV and actually thought it was Lindsay Lohan. I love the story behind the movie, that friendship doesn’t care about colors, statuses and believes

This movie reminds me of the long walk with Sissy Spacek it is placed in the 1960’s and it is a story of women that cross the tabooed racial barriers and form a really strong friendship. It sounds like a wonderful movie and I look forward to seeing this even if I don’t win
I see Sissy Spacek is in this movie also. The 60’s was a time of great change in America and it must have touched her deeply.
