Aibileen Clark is a middle-aged African-American maid who has spent her life raising white children and has recently lost her only son; Minny Jackson is an African-American maid who has often offended her employers despite her family's struggles with money and her desperate need for jobs; and Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan is a young white woman who has recently moved back home after graduating college to find out her childhood maid has mysteriously disappeared. These three stories intertwine to explain how life in Jackson, Mississippi revolves around "the help"; yet they are always kept at a certain distance because of racial lines.

"This one hits home for me and where I am from. Great look at a very ugly time in history. I highly recommend this movie. "

"A historical perspective through a different lens. "
Salim Hemdani
"I love this movie! Even though they had to abbreviate pretty heavily from the book, the movie was still able to capture the essence of the book. I thought the characters were casted so well, though for some reason I envisioned Viola (Aibileen) and Octavia (Minny) in each others roles. "

"Overall great story, great acting. I felt they completely overlooked strong performance of Bryce Dallas Howard, a great villainess."

"This movie is heartbreakingly good. While it highlights a dark part of history, the strength these characters show in spite of everything is inspiring. The pie scene will always be iconic."

"My gosh is this good! I'd never watched it until I got to college. I had been missing out! So well made. I love every character completely and utterly. Even the villain works here. The ending is incredibly sad but fulfilling. Geez Louise they did good here."
