Julie Rainey Movie is on my Netflix list. Can't wait!


message 2: by Julie (new)

Julie Rainey Cool. I'll check that out. :)

Christine Hatfield  (christinesbookshelves) | 83 comments I never seen that movie


message 4: by L (new) - rated it 5 stars

L I would highly recomend both the film and the book, which are apsolutely brilliant & so universal that anyone could relate to it. I have written a review on the book (on my profile) if this helps, on what it is about & my thoughts! x


message 5: by Julie (new)

Julie Rainey Whoo Hoo! Finally got the DVD in the mail from Netflix. Watching tonight...


Alysses (rumor_has_it) Hey all!

I have to say I loved the book and didn't like the movie so much. I know the movie can never be the book but this one was edited in such a way that I didn't get the same feelings I did from reading the book. The book was AMAZING and I agree with Lucinda that it is one everyone can relate to.


message 7: by L (new) - rated it 5 stars

L The book is something that should definately be added to to-read lists if you haven't already read it, as it is increadible...and perhaps as Mirely commented even better than the film?! x


message 8: by Julie (new)

Julie Rainey The help was defiantly an emotional movie to say the least. I can't believe that something like this actually happened to these individuals. I just wanted to slap the red-headed girl. Good movie. :)


message 9: by L (new) - rated it 5 stars

L I know what you mean!! Yes, it is a great film & one that deserved all the credit it recieved at the Baftas last year. x


message 10: by L (new) - rated it 5 stars

L *Laughing* yes it is an increadible book & one that i got rather excited about whilst writing my review on it! The film was excellent too and i could not help but feel that it should have deserved a bit more credit than it recieved by some of the critics.
...my review of the book is under my 'profile page' if interested. x


Alysses (rumor_has_it) Hi! Just an FYI things like this continue to happen to some folks. Depends on where you go in the country. I'm glad it brought awareness.


message 12: by L (new) - rated it 5 stars

L That and certainly much more, being so thought-provoking as it was.


message 13: by Christine (new)

Christine Hatfield  (christinesbookshelves) | 83 comments I have to see that movie


message 14: by L (new) - rated it 5 stars

L It is good and one that i would recomend to almost anyone, as it is quite universal Xx


message 15: by Christine (new)

Christine Hatfield  (christinesbookshelves) | 83 comments I think it would be boring for me


message 16: by L (new) - rated it 5 stars

L Christine, what types of genre do you like? Comedy, Romance, action...? Xx :)


Tiffany | 2 comments The book was GREAT. I really liked the movie, but I thought they left out too much. It was still a really good and emotional movie. I suggest for everyone that saw the movie to read the book!

The book is fantastic and might i say just *slightly* better than the film, but i thought Katheryn Stockett was a fantastic writer.

I also agree with you that those who have only seen the film HAVE to read the book, as it goes into so much more depth and detail.

If it is of interest to you, then you should :)


message 21: by Christine (new)

Christine Hatfield  (christinesbookshelves) | 83 comments I don't think so


message 22: by Anna (new) - rated it 5 stars

Anna (SylviaGrant) | 47 comments I have watched the movie and read the book and listened to the audio with three narrators. I loved them all!!!! My favorite two characters in the movie are Minnie Jackson and Celia Foote and Master Jonny. I just love them to death and I wish that Celia had been the fourth character to have her point of view read by a narrator.


message 23: by L (new) - rated it 5 stars

L I don't read many audio books, but this one could be an exception as i think it would be great to listen to. x


message 24: by Anna (new) - rated it 5 stars

Anna (SylviaGrant) | 47 comments Thanks Lucinda. I really did love Celia and Jonny Foote in the movie. They were just adorable together.


Caitlin (elspethgordie) | 4 comments This is one of my favourite movies (and books) ever. I love it so much! :)

As you look at this picture, keep in mind that scene where Hilly eats s**t pie. She also deserved it.

It is just totally unique with such a distinctive storyline, that stands out a mile in my opinion.


message 28: by Cassie (new) - added it

Cassie (badfalcon) I saw a trailer for this on another DVD and added it straight to my lovefilm queue, definitely one i'm looking forward to seeing :)
