Talk about your must see movies. I just saw a screening for The Help and it is fabulous. There should be a pre-warning to all viewers that this movie may cause tears. Good idea to bring tissue.

The Help movie is based on a #1 New York Times best-selling book,  “The Help”.  Emma Stone stars as Skeeter,  Academy Award–nominated Viola Davis as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minny.  The story takes place in Mississippi during the 1960s at time when their were racial divisions, rules, and laws. Skeeter, Minny, and Aibileen would start a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. What started as a potential job for Skeeter, would turn into strength, friendship, overcoming odds,  love, and most important “change”.

The Help Movie capturing your attention and pulls on your heart strings. Each character has a way of making you feel what they feel. I definitely left the movie with red watery eyes. My eyes watered from laughing so hard and then from feeling the passion and emotions from the characters.

What a great movie. I definitely recommend it to anyone who loves a great movie with an amazing story. I also highly recommend you bring tissue.
