    Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

    This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

    I was set against this show from the first time I saw it. What was wrong with it? Where do I start? First of all, the was no storyline. The tagline for this show was, "...the Help get even." Of course, whatever this meant was never specified on the show. So we had no idea where this show was going. Most shows get better after the pilot. The only thing worse than the plot was the characters. I think they were supposed to be funny. The nanny was a tramp, the limo driver was a con man, the trainer was an airhead, and the dog walker was a Jekyll-and-Hyde psycho. The maid was the only character I liked. Every band of weirdos needs a ring leader, and that was the maid. I hope the actress finds a better role. This show could have been funny, but with no plot, bad jokes and underdeveloped characters, it just couldn't keep its head above water.

    I was actually surprised that some people actually liked it. I'm not going to cut down those people 'cause everything is subjective, but I just thought that there was nothing to like about it except for the cleavage and if you don't like that, then there's nothing. I decided after watching the 3rd episode (for the cleavage) that it's best to watch this show with the mute on. I agree with the person that said that the characters are annoying. None of them are likeable, except for maybe Mindy Cohn's "the Cook". But the sad thing is that I find NONE of the jokes funny at all. I don't even crack a smile during 98% of each episode (most of that is rolling my eyes) and the other 2% is, at most, a chuckle. A sitcom that is not funny is not a comedy, it's a tragedy and it just makes you bored and annoyed. I'm gonna say the fault of this show lies solely on the writing. The actors and everyone else do the best with what they have but you can't make unfunny writing funny, no matter how good you may be. Of the actors I've seen before, I've seen them all do better elsewhere. David Faustino doesn't get to do anything but grunt so how can anyone say he's a good or bad actor from this? They give him nothing. But, it's a paycheck for the actors and good for them. I just think they all deserve work better than this. Like I said before though, to each his own 'cause some people obviously do find it funny. What really bugs me is that Wonderfalls is off the air and this show is still on. The world is topsy turvy.

    Everything about this show is bad. The "comedy..." The acting... The scripts... EVERYTHING. I decided to give it a try after hearing it touted as "the next Married with Children." Well, it's not. In reality, it's the next substandard sitcom regurgitated from the WB with the hopes of snagging an audience through repetitive jokes and T&A. None of the characters are likable; each seems more like a tired cliche. The worst character is easily Tori Spelling's dog-walker. The little "rants" she goes on might have been slightly funny the first time she did one, but it happens in EVERY FRIGGIN' EPISODE! Who CARES!? If ever a show deserved to be cancelled, it's this one.

    I watched the Pilot episode of "The Help" and was nearly bored to death. It wasn't funny in any aspect. There are too many cast members, with not enough good lines to share between them. The fact that they brought the kid form Married...With Children back proves that they were desperate enough to bring back a has-been just to give the audience someone to identify with. None of the cast members are even likeable. Tori Spelling managed to annoy me within the second time she opened her mouth to reveal her "true" feelings.Overall, if you miss this, it's for the greater good. You will still have a signifigant number of brain cells left over by 10:00.
