Love this movie!
I love this movie, all the actors did an amazing job. Th only thing I would change would be Skeeter's hair. I wish they would've used her natural hair and curled it instead of putting that hideous wig on her. This movie was well worth the purchase and in blu-ray quality even better. The disc I bought included a digital copy which is awesome. I can have it on my lap top or phone on the go. They should make all dvd's to include both options. Highly recommend.Read full review

Extremely well done
I grew up in Greenwood, Mississippi, where the majority of this movie was filmed. I have been inside of every home that is in this movie. It was a very well thought out and acted out depiction of the closed minded few as well as the ones who were not. It was an accurate depiction of the Junior League and their holier-than-thou mentality which still continues to this very day. It is funny, witty, happy, sad and thought provoking. This, in and of itself, sets it apart from over 95% of the movies on the market today, in my opinion. I am so happy to own my own copy.Read full review

Help?? The maids did all the work.Can't 'HELP' someone who does nothing.
Thoroughly entertaining with mostly comedy carrying the majority of the movie.Not a historical documentary but based on true facts.Add Hilly to my list of great actors I hate but you know if Frank Burns,Percy Wetmore,Hilly Holbrook and many others characters weren't doing a fantastic job of acting they'd not affect anyone like they do.
Most of the other characters also are worth watching.My favorite character was Sissy Spacek as Missus Walters.Read full review

Historical Fiction
I purchased this movie so that I can show it to my grandchildren. It portrays the prejudice which existed in the south long after the slaves were freed. Having not experienced this for myself, it was very eye-opening. The book is also an excellent read. The characters are very engaging and the humor keeps the movie entertaining. Buy it.Read full review

Excellent Movie
This movie is one of the most enjoyable I've seen in a long time. A great mixture of comedy, sadness, and joy. The tale of woe and how those who endured those times still found ways to survive. Excellent!Read full review

Poignant, a movie everyone should watch.
This is such good movie to teach our children that other people really did and in some cases still do treat others “different “ than themselves like these human beings of color were treated in this film in the 1960’s and before and beyond.
This whole world is like this in so many ways, thank you for having the movie to purchase. I looked for a long time for it. It was shipped very quickly and in new condition.
Thank you again so much!

New as described. Tried to download the digital copy but found out it’s not compatible with my Mac that has 62 bits. It needs 64 bits. Apple has not updated software to 64 bits.

Bad language
I wish they would make movies without using curse words. A perfectly great movie and ruined by the language. I had seen part of it on tv and obviously it was edited. It was much better edited.
