Movie Monday: The Help
One of the most anticipated movies of the summer – DreamWorks Pictures’ THE HELP – is hitting theaters on Wednesday, August 10th!
Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon, THE HELP is a provocative and inspiring look at what happens when a southern town’s unspoken code of rules and behavior is shattered by three courageous women who strike up an unlikely friendship. 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 saw the film last week, and while I’m not allowed to officially review it just yet, I can tell you that I immediately ran to buy the book right after watching it! And I didn’t just download it to my iPad or Kindle (though I was tempted… instant gratification!), but I bought the book itself, because I have a feeling it will become a classic that I’d love for my daughters to read one day.
WATCH IT!
