It was also a hit for Davis, one of her biggest film roles since her all too brief Oscar-nominated turn in Doubt.

In the beloved J. Crafted from plastic and designed for kids, the Nimbus allowed riders to pretend they were soaring through the skies like Harry and his friends. A set of AA batteries even made the broom vibrate like the brooms in the film do when their riders hold out a hand to call the broom to action. To quash the rising tide of protest, the vibrating Nimbus was quickly pulled from the market by and replaced with non-vibrating alternatives. When you picture the Incredible Hulk, you likely imagine a giant, green, rage-filled monster, intent on smashing everything in his path. To draw in very young Hulk fans, Hasbro released a soft animated Hulk figure that sang and danced to his own silly version of the Hokey Pokey — think Tickle Me Elmo, super-hero style. Many of the classic characters make sense to the franchise and are much beloved by kids and collectors alike. Despite these small missteps, toy-makers really jumped the shark when they released The Meat action figure in , which consisted of a slab of beef and a bloodstained apron.

The film's casting began later that month, with principal photography following four months after in Mississippi. The film is an international co-production between companies based in the United States, India, and the United Arab Emirates. Touchstone Pictures released The Help worldwide, with a general theatrical release in North America on August 10, Aibileen's best friend and fellow maid Minny Jackson works for Mrs. Walters, whose daughter Hilly Holbrook leads the women's socialite group and is president of the city's Junior League chapter. Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan, a recent graduate of Ole Miss and an aspiring writer, is a friend of Elizabeth. Skeeter is uncomfortable with her social circle's racist attitudes toward their maids, including Hilly's insistence on installing separate bathrooms for the help. Skeeter lives with her parents at Longleaf, their cotton plantation. Skeeter learns that her mother Charlotte fired Constantine, the maid who raised Skeeter, and decides to write a book of interviews with African-American maids working for white families. Minny is fired by Hilly for using the guest bathroom and is rendered unemployable, but finds a job as a housemaid at the Foote Plantation, working for Celia Foote, a housewife ostracized by the other socialites. Celia suffers a miscarriage, and reveals to Minny that she has had two previous miscarriages, both of which Johnny is unaware of. Skeeter reaches out to Aibileen, who eventually agrees to be interviewed, as does Minny. Aibileen tells Skeeter about her struggle to cope with the death of her son, and believes the book will help her find closure. Hilly refuses to advance money to her replacement maid, Yule May, who is struggling to send her twin sons to college. Yule May discovers a discarded ring and pawns it, but is brutally arrested as Hilly watches. This incident and the assassination of Medgar Evers inspire more maids to tell Skeeter their stories. Following the assassination of John F. Kennedy , Skeeter, Aibileen, and Minny fear the maids' stories will be recognized. Minny reveals the "terrible awful" she did to Hilly: after her termination, Minny brought Hilly her famous chocolate pie, but revealed that she baked her own excrement into the pie after Hilly had finished two slices. The inclusion of this incident in the book would prompt Hilly to crusade in denial that the book is about Jackson. Skeeter confronts her mother about firing Constantine, and Charlotte reveals that during a Daughters of America luncheon, Constantine's daughter Rachel disobeyed Charlotte's orders to enter through the kitchen, embarrassing her. This has guilted Charlotte, that she did not have the courage to stand up for someone who had served her for two decades and raised her daughter. The book is published anonymously and is a success. Minny reveals the "terrible awful" to Celia, who finally sees what a manipulative bully Hilly is, and writes a check to one of Hilly's charity groups, made out to "Two Slice Hilly". Incensed, Hilly threatens Skeeter with legal proceedings, but she reminds Hilly that she would have to admit the pie story was about her in chapter Charlotte intervenes, letting on that she knows about the "terrible awful", and orders Hilly off the property, reconciling the grudge between her and her daughter. She lets her know how proud she is of the book and job offer in New York City, telling Skeeter that sometimes courage skips a generation. Johnny reveals to Minny that he knows she has been working at his house, and how appreciative he is for her friendship with Celia, how it saved her life, and that she has permanent job security. This kindness gives Minny the courage to take her children and leave her abusive husband. Seeking revenge for helping Skeeter, Hilly pressures Elizabeth to terminate Aibileen, framing her for theft. Aibileen stands up to Hilly, who breaks down and storms out, and Elizabeth orders Aibileen to leave. Aibileen bids farewell to Mae Mobley and pleads with Elizabeth to give her daughter a chance, as Elizabeth begins to cry. Aibileen reflects on the ordeal and finds closure, officially retiring help work and looking to her own future as a writer. Brunson Green of Harbinger Productions also co-produced. The film was written and directed by Tate Taylor, who optioned film rights to the book before its publication. The novel's film rights were obtained by DreamWorks in March The first casting news for the production came in March , when it was reported that Stone was attached to play the role of Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan. Octavia Spencer portrays Minny. Spencer inspired the character of Minny in Stockett's novel and voiced her in the audiobook version. Filming began in July and extended through October. The town of Greenwood , Mississippi, was chosen to portray s-era Jackson, and producer Green said he had expected to shoot "95 percent" of the film there.

The state's tax incentive program for filmmakers was also a key enticement in the decision. On June 30, , the film's release date was rescheduled two days earlier to August 10, It was also released as a digital download option in both standard and high definition. The digital download version includes the same features as the DVD version, plus one additional deleted scene.

Darcy Pattison's "11 Ways to Ruin a Photograph" won "The Help" Children's Story Contest with her story about a tenacious young girl who refuses to take a good photograph while her father is away "soldiering". After being chosen by guest judge and children's-book author Lou Berger , the story was professionally illustrated. A case manager for patients with HIV, Islas-Hooker was consistently inspired by one special individual who never gave up the fight to live. The Help received mostly positive reviews from critics. The website's critical consensus states, "Though arguably guilty of glossing over its racial themes, The Help rises on the strength of its cast—particularly Viola Davis , whose performance is powerful enough to carry the film on its own. Tom Long from The Detroit News remarked about the film: "Appealling, entertaining, touching and perhaps even a bit healing, The Help is an old-fashioned grand yarn of a film, the sort we rarely get these days. In the dog days of August moviegoing, that's a powerful recommendation. A more mixed review from Karina Longworth of The Village Voice said: "We get a fairly typical Hollywood flattening of history, with powerful villains and disenfranchised heroes. Instead, what we have here is a raucous rib-tickler with occasional pauses for a little dramatic relief. Davis's, however, the performances are almost all overly broad, sometimes excruciatingly so, characterized by loud laughs, bugging eyes and pumping limbs. Despite these small missteps, toy-makers really jumped the shark when they released The Meat action figure in , which consisted of a slab of beef and a bloodstained apron. Shamefully, The Meat came sans any figure at all, making it more accessory than toy and making it appear more like a desperate cash grab than an attempt at thoughtful merchandising. To be fair, the meaty marvel was roughly the size of a standard action figure, but had relatively little play value on its own, making it one of the most embarrassing movie tie-ins ever released. While figures of Dr. Doom and the Invisible Woman seemed appropriate, the Human Torch figure rubbed fans the wrong way. In the film, as well as the original line of comics, the Human Torch was fully capable of flying anywhere he needed to go, yet for some inexplicable reason, his action figure came perched on an ATV.

Davis's, however, the performances are almost all overly broad, sometimes excruciatingly so, characterized by loud laughs, bugging eyes and pumping limbs. Some of the negative reviews criticized the film for its inability to match the quality of the book. Chris Hewitt of the St. Paul Pioneer Press said about the film: "Some adaptations find a fresh, cinematic way to convey a book's spirit but The Help doesn't. Many critics praised the performances of Davis and Spencer. Wilson Morales of Blackfilm. Ida E. Jones, the national director of the Association of Black Women Historians , released an open statement criticizing the film, stating "[d]espite efforts to market the book and the film as a progressive story of triumph over racial injustice, The Help distorts, ignores, and trivializes the experiences of black domestic workers. Jones concluded by saying that "The Association of Black Women Historians finds it unacceptable for either this book or this film to strip black women's lives of historical accuracy for the sake of entertainment. Roxane Gay of literary web magazine The Rumpus argues the film might be offensive to African Americans, saying the film uses racial Hollywood tropes like the Magical Negro character. The Help focuses on maids during the Civil Rights Movement in This aspect of the narrative has brought forth some criticism towards the film. Film historian Alison Graham writes about this in her article "We ain't doin' Civil Rights", commenting that "The con fusion of fictional and historical events begin to operate under a different narrative license. Davis has repeatedly said she regrets starring in The Help , [52] stating she feels like she "betrayed myself and my people" and that the film was "created in the filter and the cesspool of systemic racism". The soundtrack was released on July 26, , through Geffen Records. As a collective, the songs spotlight the peak of the fight for equality in the United States during the civil rights movement. Mary J. Blige's song "The Living Proof" is the only original track. In an interview with Fandom Entertainment in , Blige said that she was "moved in so many ways". Her raw emotions inspired her to compose the lone song for the film. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Theatrical release poster. Release date. Running time.
