Film Freak 2011 - the Help


Get your tissues ready and your bladders empty this is gonna be a long tear jerker of a film.

Oh boy this film is a chick flick but even the toughest men would be moved in this emotional and endearing tale of the 1960's in Jackson, USA.

Okay so it's long and David and Margaret didn't really like it, but after a couple of work drinks and a c*** of a week I really got into and loved the characters and there motives.

The white upper class women were totally vile while Emma Stone as Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan was the most delightful character in film in 2011. The supporting cast and cast of this largely female ensemble were just great. I had tears, I laughed and I just enjoyed this at times sad but also feel good drama.

It again has been a big success at the box office showing hard times in 2011 definately are not affecting the number of people seeing good quality films.

There haven't been many good dramas for 2011 so let's enjoy this, the Help it rates a helpful 4 stars after a rough week.
