Full Synopsis


Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon, The Help stars Emma Stone (Easy A) as Skeeter, Academy Award®-nominated Viola Davis (Doubt) as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minny - three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed - even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times.



 
Deeply moving, filled with poignancy, humour and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the ability to create change.

  1. Ridiculously excited about this one! Very recently read the book then squealed a little when this trailer got posted on my facebook wall.

    I love Emma Stone and I think she'll be excellent but not sure she quite fits the bill as awkward, gangly, frizzy haired, odd looking heroine Skeeter?! She'll be great but she is a bit too pretty ...!
