The Help

[ggforever]

JUST returned from seeing The Help. GREAT movie. Like all book/movie adaptions, it is hard to compare, but I think they did a wonderful job in capturing the essence of the book. The movie was packed with Phi Mus having a sisterhood night - that was fun to see. Congratulation to Tate Taylor (Ole Miss) and Kathryn Stockett.

Should I just go see it or it is the kind of movie where I absolutely need to read the book first?

Haven't seen the movie yet, but I found the book a really quick read. I finished it in 3 days with a newborn..and I consider myself a slow reader.

I'm having a GNO with my friends/book club. We all read it for leisurely reading. I'll let you know what I think about the movie when we organize ourselves, LOL, which should be difficult with 9 people.

You can see it without reading it. You might enjoy it more that way because you won't be comparing it to the book while watching.
