We read this one for my book club. The book, by Kathryn Stockett, was amazing, and the movie didn't disappoint either. The movie was very faithful to the book, but still read the book, because there are so many good details and they can't put it all in the movie. All of the major and important scenes were there though and the characters really came to life on the screen.
These two were perfectly cast as Minnie and Abileen:
But she was my favorite as Celia Foote.
These two were fabulous as well. I love Emma Stone and I thought she played Skeeter just right.
I know there is a fair amount of backlash against the book and the movie. I acknowledge that some of the criticism may be valid. I think it's pretty unsettling that the HSN has come up with a line of products based on the movie. But it is thought provoking and entertaining. Check it out!

cannot wait to read this book that so many have been talking about!
I can't wait to read the book and see the movie! I love Emma Stone too!
We went and saw the movie this weekend. It was great. That's funny that HSN started a "help" line.
I had someone recommend this book to me, I almost downloaded the book and then I kinda felt like I really didn't want to read another book about how bad it was for blacks and how mean white people where. Don't mean to offend anyone(these are my thoughts, whatever) I hear how good the book/movie is but I just really feel like I heard this story already....
