THE HELP Comes Home For The Holidays on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, DVD, Digital Download and On-Demand, December 6, 2011

Have you picked up your copy of The Help on Blue-Ray or DVD yet?


The Help, the inspirational summer hit film people can‟t stop
talking about, arrives in homes just in time for the holidays, delivering this powerful story on Blu-ray™
Combo Pack, DVD, Digital Download and On-Demand, December 6, 2011.

The #1 New York Times bestseller by Kathryn Stockett comes to vivid life through the compelling
performances of a phenomenal ensemble cast including Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer
and Bryce Dallas Howard. The Help is a courageous and empowering story about very different and
extraordinary women in the 1960s South who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing
project.

“Davis and Spencer are both brilliant”
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

The Help Blu-ray Combo Pack provides audiences with the chance to delve deeper into the movie through compelling, never-before-seen bonus features, including “The Making of „The Help  From Friendship To Film,” an intimate look at how the life-changing experiences of close-knit childhood friends director Tate Taylor and novelist Kathryn Stockett led to the creation of the best-selling novel and its transition to the big screen.

Additional bonus includes “In Their Own Words: A Tribute To the Maids Of Mississippi,” which is an honest observation of life in the South from real-life maids, including director Tate Taylor's childhood caretaker, Carol Lee; Deleted Scenes; and nine-time Grammy Award®-winning and multi-platinum selling singer/songwriter, Mary J. Blige's “The Living Proof”, music video from the film's end titles.

I saw The Help in the theater and felt it was one of the best movies I've seen in YEARS.  The emotion filled movie is well written and the acting is phenomenal.  It made me laugh and cry but most of all it made me think. I can't wait to get a copy of this to share with my boys as I think its is not only a great watch but also a perfect conversation starter.  We have talked about racism and equality with our boys at length before but I know even for me this movie made the topic so much more real and relevant for me.  We've come along way in just a couple generations but we still have a long way to go.

  1. I really do need to see this. I had every intention of seeing it in the theaters, but then I never made it. I keep meaning to read the book, but again...never got around to it!

  2. I wanted to read the book for a while but you are making me want to see the movie first.
