Jeez, the most mediocre performance ever to garner so much praise


All she did was play the sassy black lady. I don't recall seeing a scene in which she demonstrated that she was a capable actress. There are so many annoying things about "The Help" and I can't believe people are praising it so heavily. Not only does it misrepresent racism, it's a very one-note movie with cliche characters and message. Shows how gullible Americans can be.

I agree, I don't understand what all the praise for her performance is about. She honestly was just like the comic relief in the movie. Her character wasn't that difficult to play, but what can you do right.
