The Help

Four Stars: ˜˜˜˜

Everyone knows about Martin Luther King, Jr. and the race riots in the 60s, but not many people know about the lives of the everyday people who lived through it all and tell their stories in this movie--particularly, the maids. These maids whose mothers had been maids and whose grandmothers had been house slaves, finally join the fight in their own way: whether baking fecal pies or writing about their abusive employers. You can laugh and cry with these women as their world changes in this exceptional film.

MEMORABLE QUOTES

"Courage sometimes skips a generation. Thank you for bringing it back to our family."

"He kept asking me why I was black and one time I told him it was cause I drank too much coffee."

"Love and hate are two horns of the same goat and you need a goat."

Crazy, Stupid, Love

Four Stars: ˜˜˜˜

It never ceases to amaze me what guys will do when they’re actually, genuinely in love. This movie is the perfect example of just how ridiculous they can get—and it’s hilariously entertaining. For those of us who still believe in true love, it goes without question that you fight for your soulmate, whether that means a literal fistfight or just mowing the lawn. Also, a big shout-out to Josh Groban for that cameo!
