It's a shame it wasn't a little more thought-provoking because it was definitely entertaining.

But The Help should have been challenging too.

I think Viola Davis is the standout, but Bryce and Jessica Chastain do a great job, too!Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-32102423645803525352011-09-06T16:37:51.847+10:002011-09-06T16:37:51.847+10:00I think this is the first movie where Bryce Dallas...I think this is the first movie where Bryce Dallas Howard actually acts, and I've seen two too many movies of hers. If I was more generous, I'd say she's the standout in the cast, but every actress does her part in this film.Paolohttp://okinawaassault.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-24634424966992191352011-09-06T11:18:20.115+10:002011-09-06T11:18:20.115+10:00Do you mean Lee Daniels?

I powerful story, which falls into the trap of being a little bit simple-minded at times, but the performances are great!Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-17566230375985971332011-09-06T10:26:03.740+10:002011-09-06T10:26:03.740+10:00Looking forward to this one.

I can only be so thankful that it is not directed by Tyler Perry (I have a LOT of trouble taking his movies seriously, even PRECIOUS felt a tad uneven and cliched).Tylerhttp://magnoliaforever.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
