The Help

Predictable and Endless (as in very long, way too long)

I should have spent the afternoon cleaning my house.

I left happy that the film was finally finished. Whew!

There was every opportunity for depth and passion in the film and somehow, it didn't happen. I have never read the book, but, I can bet you the book was far superior, I could smell the writers passion, I just couldn't see it on the screen.

I thought about slipping out about 3/4 of the way into the movie, but I believe in miracles, but, I did not get one today.

I wouldn't go to the movie again, but, I would read the novel.
