Additional InformationA 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.
ReviewsRolling Stone - A deeply touching human story filled with humor and heartbreak is rare in any movie season, especially summer. That's what makes THE HELP an exhilarating gift., Entertainment Weekly - THE HELP has a saucy, humorous side., Orlando Sentinel - Davis and Spencer give faces and fully-fleshed out lives to women who must have been more than what they did for a living as THE HELP., New Orleans Times-Picayune - THE HELP isn't intended to be so much a movie about the ugliness of the era than an optimistic tale of what can spring from that kind of ugliness, about the ability of people to love one another even when they're surrounded by hatred. And on that level, The Help succeeds wonderfully, a warm and sweet song of hope.

A WONDERFUL READ
From beginning to end, “The Help” was a wonderful read - so much so that I bought the film. I watched it with my 14 year old Grand daughter who also thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, she has asked if she can borrow my book! Excellent plot, amazingly researched and beautifully written. What a fantastic First Book from the author.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

EXCELLENT
This is an amazing DVD. I believe the story line is fully or partially factual. It's been an eye opener and could be treated as educational for some communities. All the actors are very good but an excellent performance goes to Emma Stone and Viola Davis.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
