Love the movie, just wish you would lower the price from 17.99 to something more reasonable, or at least on sale for a limited time

This is a truly extraordinary film… I loved it, and was deeply moved. Beautifully told, vitally important. See it now!!

I Love it.

I havent seen the movie yet but i love the book. So I hope the

movie is as good as the book.

One of the few movies I know that stayed extremely close to the original storyline. Excellent tale of acceptance and kindness.

i had just finished the book the help,when the movie came out.It is a very well written story.But once they made a film of it . They brought it to the next level.the cast was remarkable.you laugh and cry with them.i absolutely love this movie!

My movie will not play. I even purchased it twice. Once on my laptop and once on my apple TV. Its been 24 hours and it will still not pay.

I hated this movie. I think part of my reason for hating it is because my ex-boyfriend *loooved* the book and wouldn't shut up about how much he loved it. I mean, why would a supposedly straight man read a book geared toward women anyway? It was embarrassing, actually, but I digress. I personally thought the movie was boring as hell, waaaaay too long and, oh yeah, BORING AS HELL

Now this is how a movie is supposed to be written, amazing acting, funny scenes and also extremely touching scenes as well! This movie is well worth the hype! My two favorite characters where minny and Celia, I loved how their two different personalities got along so well. All the characters were so well played it brought the film to life. This one is a keeper and is going in my collection! No matter who you are this movie is perfect for you! I also recommend reading the book! It was also a master piece and it was the gateway to this film! I love the help and I'm sure over time it will become a timeless classic

The Help is absolutely a great movie. 5/5

Absolute great movie to watch over again!

I just watched this for the second time. Amazing acting and film.

Thank you Michael Barnathan & Chris Columbus for making this film available for all to see.

I hope to meet both of you sometime this year thru your working with a great talent & amazing guy, Jeremy.

A must see film. Do not miss this. Rent or buy.

Again thank you Michael & Chris for getting this film made.

I’ve seen this film various times on cable, and it is a great film. I would like to add it to my iTunes movie collection, but the price (17.99+Tax) is too high. Please lower the price or put on sale. I’m waiting.

This movie is so good as is the book. It has historical significance with strong acting performances and is one of the best drama movies since Forrest Gump. A+

This is the sweetest movie. It is about (black) maids. They don't get treated fairly. Skeeter, a white lady, is writing a book about them and how they are affected. This will truly make you sob, smile, and cheer!

Excelente película!

I love this movie. It shows the all to often forgotten mistreatment of "the help" in the past. This movie touches my heart every time I watch it, especially towards the end of the movie... In short, I LOVE this movie

Being from the Deep South, this movie struck a cord with me. But viewers will love it wherever they're from. With an emotional story and true to life characters this movie pulls at your heart strings and makes you think deeply.

This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It has a lot of meanings but it also has a bit of comedy that won't make you bored. I went through lots of emotions throughout this film and it made me think a lot. I think this is the kind that every single one of you should watch. Would love to watch again :)

Is movie the best! So inspiring! Is movie tells about the past, Discrimination! You should really watch this movie; I love this!

One of the teachers at school had organized to have a showing of The Help in our auditorium. Students weren’t required to attended but my friends and I chose to go along with about 40 other students and it was an absolutely beautiful and moving story. A week later, another showing of The Help took place in our auditorium, due to popular demand, and about 170 students and teachers had shown up to watch The Help. Truly an amazing and wonderful movie.

This movie is supposed to be based on the novel and let me say it is THE WORSE depiction ever!

Sure the acting was good, but what lacked was the connection. The connection and relationship between each character. So many important things were left out. Such as the hate and disgust by Elizabeth towards her own child. The true love and affection between Constantine and Sketeer. The struggles between Minny and her husband Leroy.

So many things lacked detail and emotion. What happened to the connection between Skeeter and Stuart? The movie made it seem as if they only went out on 2 dates; he was going to propose to Skeeter in the book!

Also, please don't let me get starter about Aibeleen and Mae Mobley. The true affection, love, and care for each other was not shown to its true potential. It didn't even show the hurt Aibeleen felt whenever Mae Mobley would get spanked or worse, ignored by Elizabeth.

There is so much lack or organization in the movie, nothing really went together, it was all just "rushed together". So many parts were left out that played an important part in the movie. Such as the true way Minny left her husband, how the miscarriage really went between Celia and Minny.

There is just too much to negative things to write about here in this review, but to any one that has read the book, please do yourself a huge favor and DO NOT watch the movie because it will be a huge disappointment.

For a film that reaches out to appeal with humor and humanity, its greatest attribute is the accurate portrayal of the inhuman portrayal of one group of human beings of another. There was racial ignorance, prejudice, stupidity and hatred everywhere but the concentration in a handful of states which have been the target of so many books and movies. I would welcome a major attempt to spotlight what is today's equivalent not only in the south but in the rest of the country.

Just a great movie, and a great story.

What watching a movie is all about.

Amazing insight into the racism that occurred in our country decades ago. The film was beautifully put together at a picturesque location in the south. The acting was phenomenal on everyone's part, it couldn't be easy since they had to make racist remarks towards each other. Highly recommend!!

Is was really good like over the top u should make more

This movie is really good I don't have the words to explain it. A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is a great movie - all of the actors were great

Surprised that as a guy I really liked this.

"The Help" was such an incredible and touching movie that takes you through the lives of the black maids in the South. This movie showed how the maids stuck together with courage and power to give themselves a better live. This was an amazing and emotional movie, one that i will never forget and never regret watching.

You must see this movie!!

I love this movie that's all I can say

I was told numerous times, to watch this movie. How great it was. Well, it didn't live up to all the hype. If you have nothing else better to do, or watch .... Yeah check it out. It's not the worse movie out there, but it's also not the best. Now, to its credit; the acting was really good. And the characters were believable. However, the movie was just to predictable. If you really want to see a movie, true to form & more factual ..... Try "Mandingo" but be warned .... Like actual events its not funny or light hearted. And children should not watch it.

This movie is super awsome and i just really love it it is one of my favorite movies i totally recommend this movie:)

So funny I loves it defiantly a movie to watch over and over and over and over and over again

The help is good movie

Personally, I think this film should have one an Oscar. This movie was so good! It was well-acted, and there was plenty of humor, along with some sad moments. I would definetly recommened this.

To Whom it May Concern:

A very touching story, this book is full of humor, lessons, and friendship & family. Whoever reads this book is sure to have,a different understanding of life in the outcome. This story ,are me realize how lucky we are, and that we should NEVER take life for granted and treat others (no matter what race) with kindness and respect. I will never come across another story with such a meaningful lesson.

-Emma

Be sure to pick this book up, and like me, you will probably not be able to put it down.

A VERY GOOD READ!!! :)

I cried and I laughed. This movie is truly amazing, it's touching and Made me cry even though movies never make me cry. I enjoyed every second of it :)

This story is so moving and touching, no matter how many times I tell myself I won't cry, I end up crying by halfway through the movie. This movie not only shows how to stand up for what is right, but that blacks are no different from whites, And that people were willing to stand up for the discriminated, even if it cost their lives. I highly recommend this book and the movie, for it will move the toughest of hearts.

This probably one of my favorite movies! I recommend this movie.

This is s great series, and ages above 10 will enjoy it!

I heard from my teacher that this was a LOVLEY movie,since we are studying the civil rights movement!i can't wait to get this!civil rights is a important time in history,like Emmett till,the lunchroom counter,little rock nine,and ruby bridges.great movie,can't wait to get it:)

Wish this was available for rent on iTunes. Why in the world would any movie not be?

How is the tomatoe meter a 76% and the view meter a 90%? This is truly a touching and inspirational film that anyone with a conscious and empathy should see. It really is a very well made film and the acting is great!

I give this movie 5 stars😃 It is full of humor. If u love the movie READ THE BOOK!! It's funny and still gives you a lesson of how the African Americans were treated.

An absolutely phenomenal movie!

I want to watch it so bad but I can't my momma says i can't

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:( it seems like a very good movie

One of the best movies I've ever seen.

One of the best movies I have ever seen. It truly shows how The Help was treated. "You is kind, you is smart, you is important"

This movie is honestly one of the greatest movies I have seen. ^_^ Watch it!

Really enjoyed this one!

This film was funny, Inspiring, heart felt, and well executed. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, each and everyone of them. What a great story! This film deserves to be not only shown in the classroom but as an example of what historically inspired films should be. Made me want to read more about this story.

I can honestly say this is one of thee best movies I have seen. I love it, I love it! :):)

My movie wnt show up

This is one of the best movies movie I've seen in a very long while

The Help is not just the best movie of 2011, it is one of best of recent years. It will make you think, it will make you laugh, it will make you cry. I know some of those sentiments may sound cliche but don't think that- because at first, I thought that this movie would be cliched and stereotypical, but it is not. Viola Davis' performance may have changed my life, it may change yours as well. Also, all the rest of the actresses in the film are spectacular. The Help will help you to see that everyone has a story to be told.

Such an amazing heartfelt movie! It has some very emotional parts but also they throw some humor in! Really makes me feel as if I was living back when all of the segregation was going on. I recommend it to everyone to watch!

I got this movie for christmas, and i just can't stop watching it over and over. I really hope the help wins movie of the year at the Oscars. :-)

Well acted in some respects, but a trite and weightless little script with nothing much to add to our understanding of US history or culture. In fact, it very likely sets us back a few years. I agree with Morgenstern: it takes a handful of well-worn stereotypes -- both white and black -- and puffs them up with the trappings of importance, but in the end tells us nothing new about them.

"You is kind, you is smart, you is important." If you watched this incredible movie you laughed at those words.

This movie was encouraging, sad, and funny. This gave a clear thought of how african Americans were treated. The most saddest part was when skeeter's mom fired Constantine and how she looked back at her and how Hollie influenced the other lady to fire aboline

I cried 3 times during this movie IT'S SOO GOOD!!

But I hate pie now

I loved this movie, but even more, I loved the book. I listened to it via audio book while I was on holiday in Venice. In the midst of the book, I met another American who was currently living in a middle eastern country. I told her about "The Help" and how moving it was. She told me that she sees the same type of thing in the country where she is currently living, where hired help are looked upon and treated worse than the family animal. It's awful to think that people are still treated this way. I recommend reading the book first before the movie.

Most beautiful movie I have ever seen. It has made me think in more ways than one. The best money I have ever spent. It has made me thankful for the strength in others. After seeing this movie, I feel like I can change the world.

This was a wonderful movie, though I also highly recommend reading the book- it is ten times as touching!

I'm from China and I know very little about America's past and I watched this movie and I cried and smiled at the end of the movie. Great performance, great story, great music, great picture. And most important of all, great souls that have made both the history and this movie possible.

Good Movie. Having lived during that time period in Jackson, Miss, I found it fairly accurate. Something was missing in the depth of the film and I found it a little fragmented, but it was worth the download.

Enjoyed the movie, nice pacing and grounded in everyday events that reflect a larger political social reality. And what a performance by Viola Davis! Even my husband who gave up on the book relegating it to the "chick book" pile gave the movie a thumbs up!

I wanna say something great about this movie but all the other reviews have said it all. So all i can say is i loved it. As I am black man this united states this movie moved me. it made me laugh and get mad at the same time i didnt know if i was gonna be happy sad or mad from second to second. but in the end..... I was happy i saw this movie.

The help is a great movie i suggest that before seeing the movie you should read the book, the book is so amazing! The movie is just like the book! The help is a great family film for all ages!

Love this movie! It's so powerful and sends such a great message! Totally recommend watching!!

It's really great. It's time to listen to their stories!

One of the best movies I've ever seen!!The film is great.

Uplifting masterpiece! A true gem that will stand the test of time.

This movie is amazing! I laughed,I cried, it made me angry, it made me sad, it made me happy, so many emotions I hadn't felt watching a movie in a long time. It's worth watching over and over again, sharing it with other is a must. :D

You don't know what a great movie is if you don't enjoy this film. It was provactive, insightful, poignant and incredibly thoughful. It was just all around wonderful. This is definitely a film you want to add to your collection. I just loved it and can't say enough wonderful things about it. Well done!

Best movie of the year hands down!

this movie has fantastic meaning to it, I love it I think familys should even see it together!

I love this movie and the book best thing ever made me cry ! Please watch

I read the book 1st and was scared to see the movie because I thought it would be butchered.. It wasn't :) There were a few differences but it did not ruin it for me. I think the casting was right on.. I hope to see this movie win some awards..

I still recommend everyone read the book.

This movie has it all! Laughs, tears, and everything in between! So heartwarming and truly a feel good movie! I wish I could give it 100 Stars!!

I love dis movie and I'm only 11 I have seen it three times so funny but one time so sad watch it it's super good

One of the best movies of 2011 and now one of my favorite movies of all time! It's so worth watching. It's funny yet so sad at the same time.

This movie was great, it would make you sad at times and laugh ur butt off some moments in the movie.

I loved this movie! It had everything from laughter to tears.... All time favorite movie no words can describe it read the book and all and it was very similar to each other!

Just a great movie without a doubt.

I usually don't write reviews but this movie really has moved me and I wanted to recommend it to everyone..It's in my opinion THE best of this year and should be an Oscar contender..no doubt! It's funny, moving, and heartwarming..and to me Viola Davis and Bryce Dallas Howard stole the movie..It shows that the human spirit cannot be shattered or denied by anything, anyone or any circumstances and not to ever give up! 2 BIG THUMBS UP!

I went to see this movie in the theater not expecting much, but it was so much better than I could have imagined. This movie is amazingg!:)

The best movie I've seen in a long time...drug my husband and daughter (16) to it with me....they actually thanked me after....said they thought it was the best thing they'd seen also. LOVED the book and honestly was worried they would butcher it (like most movies made from books) but they didn't...Thank You! Such a powerful story and awesome acting...I see many awards headed their way!

This is one of my favorite movies(: A must-see!

It was an amazing movie I saw it twice in theaters and I am gonna see it again it's a super heartfelt movie!!! The roles are amazing and I'm not for movies too much but this one was truly great!! 15 stars a must see!

this is one of the best movies i have seen in a long time.

Cool

This was undoubtedly the best movie of the year. I saw it in theaters 3 times, and cried all 3 times. A touching story, a wonderful cast, inspiration at its finest. I recommend this movie to everyone

because you pick boring films this is a heart warming story even though its not based on a true story.

this is the best movie i have ever seen. watch it you will not regret it

"The Help" may just be, without a doubt, one of the most emotionally enriching and immensely significant movies of the year. I knew it was gonna be an immediate favorite of mine after watching the trailer, but little did I know that it would have the power to move me to tears. Where do I begin? How about the amazing premise, for starters. Based on the novel of the same name, "The Help" follows a young white woman, Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan (Emma Stone), and her relationship with two black maids, Aibileen Clark (Viola Davis) and Minny Jackson (Octavia Spencer), during the early 1960s in Jackson, Mississippi. Skeeter is a striving journalist who decides to write a controversial tell-all book from the point of view of the maids, exposing the racism they're faced with as they work for rich white families. Emma Stone really carries the film as the main character. Her quick wit and strong beliefs help make her role as Skeeter all the more charming and relatable. Octavia Spencer also shines as Minny, a smart-mouthed maid who's not afraid to speak her mind. She actually happened to be the person I was rooting for the most throughout the entire movie. Even Bryce Dallas Howard was wickedly convincing as Holly Holbrook, a snotty, racist white woman who goes to great lengths in order to keep discrimination alive in Jackson. Although I must admit that Hilly is somewhat of a clichéd character, she still comes across as genuinely evil in the end. However, the best performance in the film, hands down, has got to be that of Viola Davis, who plays Aibileen, one of the most tragic, honest, and heartfelt characters in any movie I've seen this year. Her emotional backstory and strong-willed sense of purpose are so moving, you'll simply wanna shed a tear. That role alone is definitely worthy of an Oscar. If I were to nitpick a little, I would only say that the "romantic" scenes with Skeeter and a potential young suitor take a lot away from the story and are unnecessary for the most part. Also, some of the melodramatic historical themes are a little too over-glossed and come across as a bit schmaltzy. But what completely made up for those slight missteps were the film's exquisite character development, authentic Southern dialogue, and genuinely important message about the acceptance of others. Not only is "The Help", in my opinion, one of the most well-made and sincerely honest movies of 2011, but it's a flick that everyone needs to see at least once in their life. All in all, if you've read the book or if you just wanna watch a feel-good historical dramedy, this is the perfect film for you.
