The HELP movie......
#61
I think the book gave more details - about Elizabeth's relationship with her daughter, Skeeter's relationship with Stuart, and more about Constantine. But I thought the movie was excellent, but I WAS glad I read the book first.

The book was great and so was the movie. I can't remember a movie that follows the book so closely. I had to see the movie a second time after I found out a friend from high school was an extra so I had to watch for her.

I read the book, haven't seen the movie yet, but I generally find that the movie version of books disappointing because the director's "visual concept" is different than what I "saw" (in my mind's eye) while reading the books.
One exception that comes to mind is "The Bridges of Madison Country"....I felt the movie complimented the book beautifully.

I saw the movie today with my daughter. We both had read the book, so was anxious to see what they had done with the movie.... we enjoyed it, although we thought the book was better.
I don't think anyone that has read the book would be disappointed in the movie!
