Yesterday, I had a friend over and as we walked into my room, I turned to my nightstand and I said, "Do you like to read? Have you read The Help
?" She left that night and says to me, "I know this sounds kind of dumb, but I'm really anxious to wake up tomorrow and start reading this book!"If you guys remember, I was one of the FIRST people to see The Help Movie at the Disney Dreamworks Event back in June. While, my official review, has not been posted yet (look for it very soon), I will say this....... The Help Movie is a must see. Today, I'm bringing you guys a really fun giveaway to get you excited to see an Oscar-Worthy film debuting August 10th!
About The Help:
Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon, “The Help” stars Emma Stone (“Easy A”) as Skeeter, Academy Award®–nominated Viola Davis (“Doubt”) as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minny—three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed—even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times. Deeply moving, filled with poignancy, humor and hope, “The Help” is a timeless and universal story about the ability to create change.

I have not read the book, but I would love to see the movie after hearing several good reviews of it. I'm a southerner and I would like to see how the people of the south were in that era.
i like disney movies crystletellerday@yahoo.com
I have read the book twice. I heard K. Stockett speak in April 2010 and I was captivated. I grew up in MS and lived during the time of the setting of this book. I believe that the author has nailed the characters, their conversations and their feelings. This was a very volatile time in the South and Stockett has definitely found her niche in the writing. I am very excited to be able to see the movie and really looking forward to a movie which will be as good as the book!!!
I've read the book and I'm an extra in the movie!! (Look for me at Brent's Drug Store I'm the make-up counter lady :)) I had the privilege of of growing up in Jackson, Mississippi and hope to be a third generation JLJ (Junior League of Jackson) member. I hope after seeing some of the wonderful things Mississippi has to offer, people will take note of our beautiful state and be inspired by our rich heritage and wonderful people.
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the movie premier they held here in Jackson this past weekend (tickets were a bit $$). However, several people I know went and they said I made the movie!!
I am extremely proud of both Kathryn Stockett and Tate Taylor, both Jackson natives, and I hope that the movie does justice to this wonderful book!

I have not read the book but I am very interested in seeing the movie. I love movies about strong women and this one looks like it will not disappoint.

Read the book (thanks to Audible.com) during walking workouts and was amazed and the depth and caring that I had for the help. I hope this translates well to the silver screen!
I've never read the book and will probably wait for the DVD.

I read the book last year, loved it and got my mom to read it as well. I hope the movie stays true to the book.

I haven't read the book and I haven't seen the movie, but I just read an interview with Viola Davis, and she sounds amazing, so I'd like to see the movie because of her.
I haven't read the book. I want to see the movie because it sounds great. The story of three women who form a friendship during this turbulent era in our nation's history sounds great. garrettsambo@aol.com
