30 Days of Movies: The Help

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.
