Once a month I feature the movies I’ve seen for the first time with a 5 word ‘review’. Only it’s not really a review. For that I need your help. I hope that you’ll add your 5 words to my 5 words and that someone else will add their 5 words and so on until we have a a fun hodgepodge of words that make up a ‘review’.
FYI-I did not read the book, The Help, so there were no comparisons for me.
This month you can give money to charity by contributing your 5 words (Details here). Please join the fun

Just wondering if it is legal not to count the & in the first review :–) so I struggled to reformulate it: Prejudice and inspirational southern spunk
The only one I’ve seen is The Help – my review is: Perfectly cast story of change.
i loved watching the help. fun LOL moments in that one. now i want to read the book.
I love your 5 word reviews…I’m adding a few new ones to my Netflix list! 😀
I haven’t seen any of these. I want to see The Help, but for some reason it’s not at our theater.
The one I missed on your list that I really want to see is Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang. Glad you liked it. I loved The Help a lot.
Ach! I’ve seen none of these. At least now I know which to catch and which to avoid.
Jeez … I’ve not seen ANY of these.
This is for Cyrus:
Not funny. Lame. Terrible idea.
Haven’t seen any of them. (And said in 5 words!) 😀
Wow I haven’t seen any of these but I do want to se The Help. Definately, Maybe sounds interesting as well. I have a vague recollection of seeing a trailer for it. Will definitely keep and eye out for those.
The Help: Well-done story but slightly patronizing.
Definitely, Maybe: Like the concept but mediocre.
