The Help

Rarely do I enjoy a movie that was written about a book.

Rarely.

 

Everyone has told me I wouldn't be disappointed if I watched The Help so I decided our very empty Netflix queue needed a movie.

 

I loved the book, the rich conversation it generated in my book club, and how the characters came to life. 
What if the movie doesn't reach the visions I have in my head?  What if it falls short of my expectations?  What if I am disappointed?

 

Tonight, Eric and I popped it in the dvd and I figured it would be background noise while I graded papers.

 

Turns out, Eric is really enjoying it.  And I'm not getting any grading done!
