I went and saw The Help with Heather and Jenny a few weeks ago and decided that I wanted to read the book to see how close they actually suck to it, Jenny had mentioned some differences but I wanted to see/read for myself.
Things I liked that they changed in the movie:
- Ms Celia having Minny and the kids come live with her and Johnny at the end of the movie, I thought it was sweet and showed how different she was to the other ladies
- Them going into Leroy abusing Minny, especially the part at the end of the book when he was fired from work and locked her in the bathroom and threatened to burn the house down with her in it
- Not having Stewart breaking up/proposing to Skeeter (yes I "liked" it in the book, but that actor is too hot for me to hate in the movie =p)
- Skeeter's mom not looking as sick as she actually was in the book, because lets face it I love Allison Janney and would hated to have seen her so sick from the cancer.
- The way Johnny found out about Minny, though the way in the book was entertaining, who doesn't like the ax part, but I liked him chasing her in the yard yelling at her
That's all I can really think of now...I'm sure there's more but I'm not really sure I can think of more right now :p
Things I wish they'd put in the movie that were in the book:
- Aibileen's special story time with Mae Mobley
- Mae Mobley going the bathroom in Aibileen's bathroom
- Skeeter's style transformation towards the end of the book
