First Time Watching The Help 

The fact that Celia can’t have a baby and had so many miscarriages is so heartbreaking, she deserves a child more than Hilly does

The fact most of the women in this cast (minus Bryce Dallas sadly) all have Oscar’s is so mind blowing to me like this cast is chefs kiss

Celias husband finds out about Minnie a LOT sooner in the book. And he sincerely could not have cared less that Minnie was there. He just wanted Celia to be happy with him. Celia literally had her keeping up the ruse even when he knew, and she knew he knew.

I love it when actors who were previously in comedic stuff get to play in more serious projects. It shows range.

“You is kind. You is smart. You is important.”

While Minnie did leave Leroy, it left out why: Hillys husband got him fired over the book, and he locked her in the bathroom and threatened to burn the house down with her in it. She escaped, took the kids and made a run for the nearest gas station. She went to the country to live with her sister.

This is why I don't mess with Miss Octavia Spencer. When she's here to act, honey, she's here to ACT.

The Minny SHIT pie was top tier karma for Ms. Hilly 😂

For the second half of the book, Minnie is pregnant. This is relevant because they mention that her husband never hits her when she's pregnant. Also: towards the end, she has Sugar start working for Celia so she can take over when Minnie has to go on maternity leave.

jessica chastain was everything in this movie. not just her clothes/ hair but she can act, honey.

We need a HIDDEN FIGURES REACTION!!!! That movie is hilarious, incredible, moving, and based on a true story!

Would love to see some Whoopi Goldberg on the channel, starting with the classic Ghost, followed by Sister Act 1 & 2. 🙃

Why do you keep calling Celia “ignorant” …she’s actually the opposite of that

Never in my life have I imagined you would react to this. Remind me to never underestimate your infatuation with Emma Stone again.

Celia isn't nice because she's ignorant. It's showing how different things are outside of Jackson and that Jackson is behind the times. Celia grew up in a different city so wasn't influenced by the girls in Jackson.

In the book Rachel, the daughter or the maid Skeeter grewup with, had a different story. She was white passing (a past relative,I don't remove who,was white) so her mother had to give her away because it would have been to difficult to explain or she could have been in teouble for having a "white" chikd with her and also to five her a better life. They had reunited and when Rachel showed up she acted friendly to the club members and wanted to join. Skeeter also didn't know she had a daughter so she was shocked when she found out. Skeeter was devastated that the woman that was another mother figure to her was fired and later got sicker (since she had moved to go live with Racgel but she couldn't stend the change in climate) and died and she didn't know that,no one told her and she didn't know where she was even buried.

Heres the bitter truth about the toilet prank: Hilly wound up selling them all to people who wanted to get a separate bathroom for their help, for a lower price. So basically the prank not only backfired, it had the exact opposite effect. Which Hilly made a point to tell Skeeter in front of everyone at the benefit.

Skeeters real name is Eugenia. The nickname stuck when she was born, and she was considered an ugly baby, and her brother said, "That's no baby, its a skeeter!"

I only found out through the comments Minnie's ending was a bit different (or at least there was more to it than the movie showed). I've never read the book but I adore the movie. I always felt the movie implied Minnie and her kids were taken in by Celia and her husband (since earlier in the movie Celia mentioned something about the big dining table and bedrooms she'd never fill and at the end Minnie comes to a set table that Celia had prepared for her). It gave me that lovely warm idea of Minnie still working there but her kids living there too in order to fill those bedrooms and give Celia the joy of having kids around despite not being able to have any of her own. At least this was how I always imagined it hahaha.

"My wife said this would be a great Thanksgiving movie. SWEETIE!" 🤣 min 14:37

Things you may not notice 1. Hilly have babies and make pressure for everyone else to do the same, which leads to Elizabeth, just a girl and not ready for motherhood, a mother with baby blues. 2. Hilly's bathroom initiative put unnecessary economic strains to a lot of white families, and it's represented by Elizabeth's arguments with her husband. It doesn't affect her because she's wealthy. But middle class family like Elizabeth is much more affected. 3. Hilly is a GOOD friend (protect Skeeter from Jolene's back-handed comments, side with her against her mother's degrading words, believing in her and hit her up with Stuart), but a BAD person and I'm glad Skeeter didn't dismiss Hilly's bs just because she's been kind to her.

the person assassinated was Medgar Evers, a civil and voting rights activist from Mississippi. he was shot in his own driveway

Miss Hilly's mom really is a legend as that is none other than Sissy Spacek.

One of my favorite white savior movies😒😂

This movie forever ruined my enjoyment of chocolate pie.....!😂 In case you're wondering why Celia Foote kept losing her babies, it's actually a pretty easy to fix problem. Her cervix is too thin, so when the fetus reaches a certain weight, it just falls out. But all the doctor has to do is sew it up once pregnancy is confirmed, and remove the stitches at 36 weeks. I'm a nurse, so wanting to cure even fictional characters is an occupational hazard.

Skeeter and Stuart got waaaaaaaay more serious in the book. She told him about the book the day before it hit the shelves, and Stuart was even planning on proposing! She goes to the benefit by herself, and shes treated like a complete pariah.

We also def need a reaction to The Secret Life of Bees! Octavia Spencer was in that too and it’s incredible.

20:00. In case anyone is curious, $600 in 1963 (when this movie takes place) would be about $6,100 in 2024, which means the 13 maids who got about $46 each then would be about $470 each in 2024.

The reason that Minnie Didn’t like Celia touching and hugging her and giving her Coke was because it was basically illegal to touch Fair skinned people back in the back and you could get killed or seriously harmed by doing so

Big thing with Abileen and Mae Mobley that was left out: Abileen would play games with her to teach her life lessons. Example: pretend to sit at a counter, and no matter what, you can't move. This was sometimes played with her brother, so he'd sit and shed throw stuff at him, or vice versa. But the objective is the same: no matter what's said or done to you, you can't move. Another thing to note is that Mae Mobley was also starting school in the book, and she had a seriously racist teacher. The whole thing came to a head when her dad caught her playing the above game, and angrily demanded she tell him who taught her the game. And she said it was her teacher!

The scenes with the little girl break my heart everytime :'(

The only negative to this movie I've gained over time is how 'white savior' centric it is. Like it focuses more on how painful it is for her to have lost her nanny and her pain, instead of the help's side of things. Like this movie could've basically removed the whole daughter and her mother thing, and we could see it all from the perspective of the help + just her meeting with the journalist to write the book and it would've been just as good. Celia is as good as a 'white savior' I needed. She was good. Like them focusing on how hurt the mom was for having to fire the nanny, and her guilt. Boohoo. Don't care about how much your internalized racism is hurting you... Emma Stone is the downside of this movie, and is why several of these actresses regret making the movie, kind of. It's designed for us to do just that, clap at Celia and Emma's stuff like, "Yeah! That's how it's done!!"

You should watch the secret life of bees! It's got dakota fanning, queen latifah, alicia keys, etc. And vision from avengers! The story is also a tearjerker

As to whats was on her lip- its a cold sore, a virus sometimes spread by kissing or touching/using used utensils, door knobs and stuff. Thus hinting at how it came to be 👀

You’re such a joker I was scared to watch this reaction but I really enjoyed it. Good job 👏🏾

Leslie Jordan was a gem taken from us too soon.

10:16 That was Abileens spiel in the book. No, i dont know why they changed it.

Almost all the main actresses in this movie have won an Oscar. Thats insane! 😳

you were saying how much you love the mom. i love the mom too she's the best

95 cents an hour for 1962 comes out to $9.59/hour here in 2023. How frigging awful. And the fact that Bryce Dallas Howard (Ron's daughter) plays an ugly bigot so well that I believe a lot of people forget she's an ACTRESS playing a role, this is not her in real life. But Octavia deserved the Oscar (as well as Viola). The scene where Cecilia buries the remains of her third miscarriage as a tree just rips my heart out every time!

Should definitely check out the movie Hidden Figures.

When you screamed out Sweetie i immediately thought of Kim Zolsciak

this was partly filmed 10 min from where i live, which is a VERY rare occurrence😂

Ohh I think miss what’s her face the one who fired Minnie gets her comeuppance. She so gullible. And her mothers reaction is comedic gold!!! Do not condone though. Not a nice thing to do.

Inflation would be just over $1,800 a month, or about $21,000 a year

Constantine is played by the late Cicely Tyson. You may know her better as Sipsey in Fried Green Tomatoes Or Annalise Keatings mother in How to Get Away With Murder

I’m not just commenting cause Welchy said if we don’t we have bad breath…… but I really enjoyed this reaction!! Shout out to SWEETIEEEE for recommending it!😂🙌🏻🙌🏻

Abileen takes over as the next Miss Myrna. Skeeter hands it over before leaving for New York.

Stop calling SWWAATTTIIEEEEE and just let your emotions roll man! Lol

If she was making 95 cents an hour during the 1950s then, in 2024, she'd be making anything between $12 to $13/hr and for the amount of work they do, it isn't nearly enough.

R. I. P. Leslie Jordan

Plz can u do krampus and Madea's big happy family

It’s NOT chicken salad!!!! Ambrosia is made with fruit…. Ask your wife

“That flag was back then” you mean 2019?? Jk, for those who don’t know, while the confederate flag is a part of it, the flag in the beginning of the movie is the old Mississippi flag. It was voted to be changed only in 2020, but the appearance of the flag isn’t supposed to just be a mention of the confederacy but to show where the movie takes place. At the time the movie was shot, it was still flying boldly on the state capital.

0:27 Just trust the wife 😂

This was one of the most perfect book to movie adaptations I've ever seen. It was so well done.

I recomend you watching hidden figures, its The help but more nearby to 2000 And Octavia is there too

Actually, this will surprise you: Hilly is actually a wonderful mother. They make it a point to say so in the book several times.

I came here from the kid law’s patreon. I’m here to stay 😊

I loved the "Sweetie!!!!!" screams😂❤

IM DYING! I am SO HAPPY to see you reacting to this movie ❤️❤️

I love your videos

There's a beautiful, I mean beautiful photo of Cicely Tyson in the portrait museum in DC.

Great Reaction! “Fences” Viola Davis did an awesome job in that as well.

MID's wife, probably: i'm tired of pie so i'm gonna make him watch the help

I actually really like Celia as a character

Your wife recommended you this?! She's awesome!

help the plot twist of minny putting poop in hillys pie was insane

When this movie was in theaters I went and saw it about 4 times, by myself. It brings me to tears every time but I absolutely love this movie. Celia was most definitely my favorite character because of how pure she is and her bubbly personality was so wholesome.

I'm watching on Christmas Eve, not Thanksgiving, but close enough. It was so fun to watch the editing process on this! So great to watch the finished project!

Loved your reaction and comment, it’s crazy to me that I was actually about to be born in the time period of this movie. I can’t imagine facing that kind of racism every day.

and can you watch 2017 boss baby please

And in the book.the mom was. A bigger jerk

That’s not a chicken salad 😂

The book broke me when I read it. I loved the movie as well, but it wasn't as good. As for a TG movie? I would have preferred 'Dutch' for the laughs, but I'm happy that you did this at all for me to watch.

Good writing to its full potential. Thank you for reacting to that movie ;)

great reactions! Another great movie, also Thanksgiving-ish with the heart feels, is Holes. It's an absolute banger by Disney

Holly’s actress nailed it because hated her so much.

7:22 $8 in today’s economy is $83.15 gahhhhh damn

9:55 i wonder how many people today would survive these times

Both sides of the aisle?!?!? Why didn’t she wanna hug her!?!?!! Can’t finish this reaction✌🏾

i literally just thought "maybe i should watch Reel Rejects react to black swan" then you guys post this

Hilly had a cold sore from the stress, a lot of the stuff going on in this story is linked directly to stress, like Skeeter's mom's illness or Celia's miscarriages.

My favorite movie about this topic lol!

Baby blues = postpartum depression.

You're going to love the way she got revenge. this Revenge it's well best served in a pie.😂 I did enjoy that Revenge

She totally got you to watch the help by pretending it was a thanksgiving banger lol

Wait. You live in Kentucky? I do too. Born in Lexington. Moved away as a kid to Georgia. And moved back to Kentucky in 2014.

Amazing

The best thing about the revenge against Hilly is that Minnie made sure her mother never ate the pie.

The pie scene is freaking amazing and the best part of the movie 😂

Celia and Minny’s relationship growth in this is gold. Both found an unexpected friendship.❤ Recommendations: Hot Chick- Rob Schneider switches bodies with a teenager and comedy happens. Secretariat-great inspiration movie and beautiful oh and soundtracks a hit. Eddie the Eagle- Hugh Jackman and Taron Egerton both fabulous actors side by side.

I recently recommended Arcane to my mom. You're lucky I wasn't drinking anything at that moment. You know why? Because she said: 1. She's not into "kids cartoons" she called it 2. She also thought it was Japanese anime

You need to watch fried green tomatoes. It is so underrated but one of my all-time favorite movies

14:39 LOL!! 19:57 LOLLL

You yelling "Sweetie!" feels like me if my friend told to watch Arcane because it's uplifting

Love this reaction I had to watch it twice

Boy you can tell you're not from the south.

This movie makes me realize that the DMV lady Sheldon talked to in The Big Bang Theory was going easy on him. She could've given him a pie made of shit, but instead chose to simply tell him she doesn't give a damn.

This film is perfect. You should watch hidden figures too!
