How many times do you watch a movie for the first time and then wait for your chance to watch it again. Well I watched this movie for the first time on a english movie channel last saturday night and you won't believe the first thing I did was to check for the repeat of the movie and I did watch it the next day again! First of all congratulations to Kathryn Stockett for ner novel 'The Help' on which this movie is based. Great Story. Then comes acting. Even if you have a good story you need good performance to match it and when the story is great, obviously the cast and acting has to be spot on. Though each and every character played their role to perfection, I must mention Viola Davis as Aibileen Clark and Octavia Spencer as Minny Jackson are superb. If you want a movie to be in your collection than this is a must buy. I am not giving you any idea or hint about the story, because if you have an open mind you will enjoy it more. Watch it.

Sometimes good movies come and go and we don't make a notice of this. 'The Beaver' falls in the same category. I don't know how but after watching so many movies, whenever I see a clip of a movie or a scene, I know whether it is a good movie or bad. The sense proved right when I watched 'The Beaver'. When two multi talented actors like Jodie Foster who won two academy awards for best actress for The Accused (1988) & The Silence of the Lambs (1991) and Mel Gibson who won Academy Award for Best Director for his movie 'Braveheart' (1995) come together with a simple but beautiful story, what more can you expect. I never believed in box office collections a bench mark to reflect whether a movie is good or bad. Watch 'The Beaver' and you will love it.
