The Help (Revisited)

Like Miss Hilly, Alien couldn't resist but to have a second slice of this delicious treat. The major characters (Emma Stone, Bryce Dallas Howard, Viola Davis, and Octavia Spenser) are fantastic and the minor ones are terrific too especially the adorable little girl. Their performances will make you laugh, make you cry, make you angry, and make you proud. The costumes, the hairdos, the sets, the props, the music, the TV footages will transport you back in time to 1963 in the South. It will turn your stomach and warm your heart. It is an unforgettable story of courage and women's empowerment. Once you have seen the film, you will want to see it again, or read the book, or recommend to everyone to see.

Alien still gives it 4 "this didn't happen in Jackson" stars out of 4.
