Yaay standing up to racism!!
I really wanted to do a movie that WASN'T based on a book but...well I didn't. I'll eventually get to that. If it makes you feel any better, I haven't read the book yet. But I'll eventually get to that too. Now I'm kinda tired tonight so this is gonna be a brief review.
Ok, so, The Help. Good movie. But just as with Crazy, Stupid, Love, I think this was a bit over praised for me to really enjoy. The storyline was a bit predictable, but the cast was phenomenal. It began to feel a bit long, oh, around the halfway point. Ultimately, though this was such an interesting topic, I just wasn't as entranced as everyone else. Oh well.
My review: 3 stars. Hoping the book is better.
Be wary of disgruntled former maids bearing pies.
I read the book and watched the movie as well. I loved both.
ReplyDeleteI still hold out tentative hope for the book. Since they are usually so different from the movie, it stands to reason that the book WILL be better. But at the same time, the book might also suffer from over-positive reviewing! Gaaahhh! I'm just gonna become a hipster and never like popular things!
