  1. I did not read the book, but my sister did and said it was excellent. I just won a Fandango gift card from @mommyfactor so now I can see the movie!

  2. What an excellant book to write about something that should have never exsited

  3. I will definately be going to see the movie bc when we first saw it as a preview during Larry Crowne it sparked an interest. When I worked with families that had au pairs for their children, I always wanted to know more about them!

  4. I am thinking about going to see the movie. It looks like a good movie. Thanks for a great sweep and hope to win 🙂

  5. I have not read the book, but seeing the commercials for the movie, I will probably put it on my list to read next.

  7. Yes, I have read the book. I plan on seeing the movie, if possible, because I loved the book.

  8. The buzz has been good for this movie. I’ll most likely see the movie first and then read the book, like I usually do, to compare.

  11. I have not read the book, but the preview for the movie looks very interesting. I can’t wait to go see it.

  13. I absolutely loved the book and fell in love with all the characters. I am going to see the movie and from what I’ve heard, it’s faithful to the book so that’s a plus!

  16. Yes! I have definitely read the book. As a Louisianian, I could connect with the Jackson, MS portrayed in the novel. I absolutely loved the book (which I just finished last week) and I can’t wait to watch the movie. I’m happy to support a book-movie franchise that brings back to the public eye the issues that are displayed in books like Their Eyes Were Watching God, The Color Purple, Beloved, and To Kill a Mockingbird. We like to think that the race barrier has been broken down, but frankly, we still have problems; and if we didn’t still have these problems, readers wouldn’t be able to connect so much to the novel. So yes, I have read the book and yes, I do plan on watching the movie!

  17. I have read the book in anticipation of the movie! I’m very excited to see it. I’m hoping it won’t disappoint (but I go into it know that in most respects the books will always be better)!

  18. I read and read the book, I’m not sure if i ‘ll see the movie because movies usually don’t do justice to the book.

  19. I read the book last year and loved it. It was one of those that kept me thinking about it long after finishing reading. I plan on dragging hubby to the theater this weekend to see it. I’ve been anxiously waiting for it to come out.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  24. I read the book (well actually I listed to the audiobook…which is excellent!!!) and I am definitely going to see the movie. I was so sad when I finished the book, I wanted to hear more and for the story to continue…so the movie is a way for this to happen. I am interested to see how well the movie is going to correlate with the book. I’m sure it will be good!

  28. I haven’t read the book, in part because I’m just hearing about it. It’s set in a sort of gray area for me; I was born in ’65 and my mom was out of the country from ’62 to ’65 and then on the west coast for a few years, then we were in Scotland for a couple of years, so even though my family is all from the south, we weren’t really in the south when this took place. I don’t feel a connection to it. I’ve been reading a lot about Viola Davis and I liked Bryce Howard in the one movie I saw her in, so I’d like to see the movie for their performances. I probably won’t see it in theatres, though. We just go to the movies very rarely, mostly because so many moviegoers are rude.

  34. I have started reading the book right now and have been working on it for about a week now, however, with kids, it’s a little slow going, but it’s been a good book so far. I must admit the idea of a tell all is really funny for this era is a riot! I’m really looking forward to seeing this with the “girlfriends” on our next night out!

  39. I have not read the book (yet) but I would like to see the movie. I have read many good reviews of it and seen film clips that look interesting. I love to see movies that are about relationships and friendship, so I’m sure that I will very much enjoy this movie.

  43. I want to read the book before seeing the movie but I haven’t been able to get my hands on a copy yet. Thanks!

  44. I would love to win this for my wife. She did read the book and LOVED it. She also loves your blog. She cannot wait to see the movie, and I am taking her. I think it looks good as well. Thank you so much for the chance. It is good to see positive movies about and featuring women.

  47. I read the book and loved it. I’m going to see the movie to see if it did the book justice!

  49. I am not much of a reader but the trailers for the movie seem great so I plan on going to see it!

  54. I have not read the book but I am interested in seeing the movie. I love movies with strong women characters and this movie looks like it will not disappoint. reejen at comcast dot net

  59. I have not read the book-read the reviews and do plan to read it-my sis and I plan to see the movie-the trailer looked like it would be a good movie

  63. I want to see the movie. I have free tickets, but have seen no previews of anything else that seems worth watching!

  69. I have the book but haven’t had time to read it yet ;( – but want to read it before seeing the movie, so I better hurry!

  74. I actually finished reading the book today. It was an excellent book and I am eager to see how they translate it into a movie. From the previews, it seems the casting for the 3 main characters is exactly right. I will see the movie soon!

  76. I haven’t read the book but want to see the movie. I’m happy to see a funny slant on something that wasn’t so funny. Also, I like quite a few of the actresses.

  80. I did read the book and I thought it was amazing. I’m looking forward to seeing the movie.

  82. I am going to see the movie because I live in MS where the movie was filmed. I’ve been to some of the places that it was filmed and I know some people that were in it as extras.

  90. I read the book last year and am looking forward to seeing the movie. I hope it’s as good as the book.

  92. I haven’t read the book, but I plan to after seeing the movie, as I know it will give more detail and backstory.

  93. I have not read the book. However, I do intend to see the movie. Perhaps I can compare the nook and the movie. It looks like an inspirational, feel good movie 🙂
