The Help (2011) - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

Yeah, I saw that price increase for the digital copy. One slight differance in th eslip for the one with the digital is the boarder is purple and the images are embrossed, and I admit, the purple DOES look letter.

But I settled for the blue boarder bluray / DVD edition. I dont care for digital copy.

I liked the purple slip better, but once I got the blue slip today, I think it is just fine.

I blind bought this today for 15 dollars after the coupon. Not a bad price for a Blu Ray/Combo Pack.

Prepare to cry. Multiple times.

I saw this in the theater with the wife and we both liked it. I just picked up the Blu today at Costco along with Cowboys and Aliens for $19.99 each.

Why didn't you use the $5 off coupon?? You could've paid $14.99 for it.

Will be picking this up today as a blind buy. The $5 coupon made me decide to go ahead and get it.

It's seems like their review is tainted by a backlash from the reviewer's own false preconception:

Even without a "based on a true story" tagline, I just assumed that's exactly what Tate's tall tale was.

I wonder if this reviewer has ever seen Fargo?

Batman1980 · 12-07-2011, 07:05 PM

Yeah while I do like Ken, I simply don't agree with the review, I thought it was a phenomenal movie and is probably my favourite movie from 2011.

Same here, although it's not my first favorite. Rise of the Apes owns that title, with Kung Fu Panda 2 as an extremely close second. This one certainly does have a spot in my top 10, or maybe even 5, of 2011.

Bk_Tan · 12-07-2011, 07:20 PM

Not a grammar Nazi, but the catchphrase used "It pick her." seriously?

That's so obvious it's not even in the review.

The reviewer highlighted that at the beginning of the review, but appeared to quickly sweep it aside.
