This is a great movie, which shows a different aspect of life in the 1960s. I have always been intrigued by the depiction of life in the 1960s from television shows like Mad Men, but there are not a lot of African American characters on the show. Even Carla has left the Draper household. This movie shows how some African Americans live in the 1960s, and their emotions, hopes and dreams and ups and downs are captured very well in the movie. I highly recommend it!

This is definitely a 5 star must see!! Make sure you have some tissues with you! It tugs at the heart and really makes you think of how things you may do affect others. Eye openning!

This is one of the rare cases where the movie is actually as good as the book! Must see!

I have yet to read the book, however, the movie was very touching. I didn't actually expect to like it as much as I did. It made me laugh and it definitely made me cry! It inspired me to buy the book (which I'll hopefully have the chance to read soon!!!).

By far one of the best movies of 2011. I read the book before the movie and will have to say that it's probably one of the only movies that's just as good, if not better than, the book. Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer and Emma Stone are absolutely outstanding. The performance by Bryce Dallas Howard is outstanding. By the end of the movie (just as you are in the book), the audience has nothing but pure hatrid for Hilly Holbrook and loves Minnie's s*&% pie stunt. I think this movie (and it's actresses) should win in every category it's nominated for!

Excellent feel good movie.

I really liked the movie. The acting was very good, and the story made me laugh, cry, as well as be embarrased for our history. It is a wonderful example of how we must examine our "traditions," and that it is important to have the strength of character to stand up for what is right.

This movie is one of the more poignant movies I have seen in a long time. Viola Davis is a revelation (various award voters take notice) and Octavia Spencer so completely inhabits Minny that I found myself hating that the movie had to end. That said, Emma Stone gives a mature and wholly believable performance as Skeeter. The woman can do so much more than comedy. Go see it; you'll be thinking about it long after you leave the movies.

I really enjoyed this movie. I did not get to see it in the theatre. But my daughter bought and we watched it. It was really good. I enjoyed the story line. It was well written. The actresses in this film were amazing. I plan on getting the novel to read. I enjoy reading books before they become movies but for this one I want to still read the novel. I hope this movie WINS alot at the Oscars. I am one that does not usually keep up with the Oscars either. Thanks for this contest Shespeaks. I have been thinking about getting a Blu-ray player but just haven't had the extra money to get one for my family.

I thoughly enjoyed the book and found the movie equally as good.

I thought this movie was pretty good. It had moments of sadness, laughter and of course anger. I think its good to see how far we as a people, or at least most of us, have come when it comes to racial issues. The acting was great and they really let me get a feel for the story and the era that they were portraying.

This is a great movie! The acting was phenomenal and it was touching, yet funny at the same time! I great up in Mississippi and this movie is the real thing! My husband really enjoyed it as well! Good date night movie!! Can't go wrong with this one!!

I thought this was a great movie that, if you read the book, it followed the book really well. I do think it is geared more toward the female viewers but I'm sure there are some men that would enjoy the movie also. It's very well written, witty, funny, sad, happy .. stirs up lots of emotions! I think most anyone would have a good feeling at the end of this movie. :)
