The Help

The Help (2011)

Rated PG-13 146 min - Drama
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.

                  i love this movie!!! It made me cry and laugh at the same time. The ending was really sad...poor Mae Mobley! I loved the part when Aibleen was like, "Once i told him i was black because i drank too much coffee!!!" Hilarious

                    This movie is amazing. It's inspirational and reminds me of the quote "The pen is mightier than the sword." Minnie is such a hilarious character.
