Meanwhile, Jesse Eisenberg and Danny McBride star in the R-rated comedy 30 Minutes or Less, directed by Ruben Fleischer.
Also opening this Friday is Glee The 3D Concert Movie, directed by Kevin Tancharoen. The film stars Lea Michele, Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale and Cory Monteith, among other castmembers of Fox's hit television show.
See what The Hollywood Reporter's critics have to say about those films -- and others opening this weekend -- and find out how well they are expected to perform at the box office.
The Help
Bottom Line: This self-conscious and self-congratulatory portrait of the Jim Crow South does at least contain two magnificent, award-worthy performances by Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer.

30 Minutes or Less
