Top 250 Movies from the Last 10 Years: #42 The Help

Image result for the help movie

Tuesday is cheap night at the movies so I went with Mom, Connie and Charlotte to see The Help.  Krista and John were there too but in the back rows somewhere probably smooching since they were still very much newlyweds at the time.

Guess what?  The movie was good.  Not quite as good as the book, of course.  But it was very good.  I would definitely go to see it again on another cheap night at the movie theatre.  The script writers managed to pick out quite a few of the best bits of the book and put them in the movie.  I'm not sure I'm happy with the way they changed the Constantine story line but for the most part it was very well done.    

See the movie and read the book.  You will enjoy them both so much.
