Interesting movie and storyline, however seemed to drag in parts and overall felt too long. Not necessarily a chick flick but my audience seemed predominately female. Story is about a white girl writer attempting to write a book about how "the oppressed black help" feels about their snobby white employers in Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960's. I'm still not sure why this movie did not particularly reach me, but I did leave the theatre feeling flat. Probably a mix of the movie trying to be a little too funny in parts, the storyline jumping around and leaving what felt like gaps or for me an unsatisfactory ending, in a movie I was really hoping to like, it just seemed so-so.
