The commercials are making the movie seem more feel good (smartass Black helpers are funny enough for a commercial or two).. That's how they are able to get people to be excited about this movie. They take bits and pieces of the movie even if they misrepresent the movie. Meaning, white people (who will be the main supporters of this film) would not see this movie if they didn't make it seem funny and lighthearted.
Yeah, that's crazy to me that anyone could consider such stories as pure entertainment (especially when it's a reflection of a true story - Stockett's family).
