The Help

Last night, I attended a screening of The Help with Southern Vogue. I love going to the movies, but am often let down by books that are made into movies. They never seem to follow the same plot line and major parts are left out and then weird things are added in that were not part of the book. The Help however, did NOT fall into this category and blew us away.

I laughed so hard that I cried and then I did cry. The movie brought out so many emotions (in a good way!) and actually followed the book for once. No odd things were added in and all the major parts of the book were carried out on the screen. The scenery was stunning and the costumes were to.die.for.

Hilly left me wanting to yell at her, numerous times (some people at our screening were yelling at her...), but man did she have a killer wardrobe and a pretty house! Whoever made the final call on casting should win an Oscar, they did an AMAZING job. Even down to the children in the film, it was all just perfect.

This movie is everything I hoped it would be and more. I will be seeing it again on the big screen and will be pre-ordering the DVD. Yes, it is THAT good. Buy your tickets today for the August 12th release, you will not regret it!
