I liked this review:\

"(The Help)...reduces all blacks to angels, whites are the devil, and the civil rights movement becomes a vehicle for potty humor (and worse). This makes Driving Miss Daisy look like cinéma vérité. I predict Oscar nominations all around."

Here is the best review of "The Help" I have read - from a Finnish film critic attempting to write in English...

Didn't Betty White win LAST year? I love Betty and all but... I hate when award shows give people awards because people have been in the biz a long time and not for being the best. I thought Sofia or Julie would take it. very dissappointed in that catagory. just saying.
