The Help

M:  A great book, made into a pretty good movie.  Apparently there is some controversy surrounding the book and movie, but I don't see it.  Good acting, beautiful filming, and a good message.  3 1/2 stars


V:  Viola Davis as Aibileen was fantastic, first of all.  Also, Jessica Chastain as Celia Foote was very good.  A very good movie.  I was told I might not want to read the book once I'd seen the movie, and though I had started the book, they were right.  As a story, a little too much of it revolved around a poo pie.  Nevertheless, it was a well-done movie.  I liked it. 3 stars.
