I cannot wait to see this.

I want to see it! I read the book and adored it. Guess I can't ask you to compare it to the book, but if anyone else has done both, please share! I don't want to be disappointed.

A friend who read the book told me about it. I kind of want to read it first but who knows.

'The Help' is a big hit: Is Hollywood paying attention?

By now, we have all read at least one op-ed/article/blog or heard a radio program dedicated to discussing the surprise hit film The Help. It's one of the few non-Tyler Perry related movies to cause such a wide reaching discourse among black America. But this hasn't been relegated to black folks, as this film has had crossover appeal and raked in crossover money.

Labor Day Weekend saw The Help take in $19.9 million in box office receipts and remain the number one movie in the country for the third week in a row, something no movie has done since last year's blockbuster Inception. Thus far, The Help has cleared over $124 million in its theater run, having been released on August 10.
