Congratulations to our winner, #34 Kristen
Dreamworks Pictures, ‘The Help’ is the one of the most anticipated films of the summer. I had the opportunity to see it a few days ago and I predict ‘The Help’ will walk away with Oscar gold come next year. A lot of Oscar gold. I laughed. I cried. I cheered. I was stunned. But most importantly, I learned. The Help is bittersweet and heart wrenching but still, … it’s a feel good story with lessons for all ages. The film is based on Kathryn Stockett’s best selling book.
The book has three million copies in print. It’s a New York Times #1 best seller! Perhaps I’m doing it backwards but now that I’ve seen the film, I’m going to read the book. I was attending BlogHer (a blogging conference) in San Diego when I saw the film. Afterwards, if I could have found a book store, I would have stopped to buy the book. No luck with the book store but I did order ‘The Help’ online and I expect it to arrive any day. I can’t wait! I want to read it before I see take my husband to see the film. Not only will he enjoy it, he’s going to absolutely love the vintage cars throughout it! It takes more than a best selling book to create a good movie. ‘The Help’ makes it happen with the story, the characters, the actors, the locations, even the food. Together a treasure is created. I have a short list of movies that I watch over and over again. I know without a doubt that I’ll be adding ‘The Help’ to that list.
‘The Help’ is about doing what you want to do. Breaking rules and making a difference.
It’s about loving relationships.
The south in the early 60’s.
It’s about mothers and daughters.
It’s about deep rooted friendships.
And unexpected friendships. ‘The Help’ is about making a difference and it’s opens in theaters tomorrow.
No compensation was received for this post. I was invited to a screening of ‘The Help’ and all thoughts and opinions are mine. Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures is providing the giveaway gift pack.

Yes, I am going to see The Help this week…I can’t wait. I LOVED the book. It caused me to take a long look inside myself and at those around me. I love each character in this book. Every town/ group, etc. is filled with so many of these personalities.
