The Help

I read Kathryn Stockett's The Help last year, and it was a good read.  A movie based on the novel was recently released.  While I always approach with trepidation movies based on novels that I have enjoyed, in this case, there was nothing to fear as the movie was wonderful. Viola Davis as Abileen, Octavia Spencer as Minnie, Emma Stone as Skeeter, and the rest of the cast were excellent. Overall, it was quite faithful to the book and definitely worth seeing. I would give it an A-.
