I have both read the book and gone to the movie. I find it interesting the comments that people have while waiting to tile out of the theater. I would love to see it get some awards. I hope it does. Jan

Didn't see the movie but read the book. Great Book.

I saw the movie this afternoon and really liked it. The only problem was I could not hear a lot of the dialog. I thought it was me, but after the movie, my two daughters said they had the same problem. I don't think they had the volume loud enough.

It was so good. Three of us girls went and we laughed and cried. The characters were great as well as the actresses!

I read the book and liked it. The movie was good, too. I didn't care so much for the actress who played "Skeeter," but she wasn't bad.

Yes! I have read the book and seen the movie and loved them both. What a great story and the actors picked for each part were perfect. If you haven't seen it or read the book, Do Both!!

Movie was very good! Would go see it again!

I saw it last week. Thought it was good and learned a great deal about the South back in the 50's and 60's! I think it is the same today, some people treat their "help" like family and some are terrible to them!!!

Loved the movie. I'm really not a movie person but did go see this. Worth the money.

Saw it last week. Loved it - really stayed with the book. I read the book last year and was so excited about the movie coming out. One of the best I've seen in a long time.
