One of my all time favorites.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

You will love this heavy handed off the shelf PSA for the standard suite of things that rich white Hollywood liberals. It's the kind of movie that TV shows pretend to put on inside an episode. If the fake writers on 30 Rock were fake making a movie about how much they hate everyone who's not a bicoastal rich liberal progressive, this would be it. It's the liberals 'Birth of the Nation'. Because remember, it's only satire if YOU know it's satire. If you don't then you're just being David Letterman.

Had to turn it off after 20 minutes. I am not a Bible-beater from middle America, but as an educated, career-driven, intelligent woman who happens to have light skin, I found this whole movie racist and offensive to Caucasians and/or conservatives. The African American girl uses racist terms describing all the white people who take her in and try to be nice. Jennifer Garner's character is an uppity conservative stereo-type and calls a group of people with Down Syndrome "you people". Really tired of Hollywood overall, but this movie was one of the worst.

This movie essentially begins with a man named "Bob Pickler" (Ty Burrell) living in the state of Iowa and being the champion 15 years in a row for his butter sculptures at the annual state fair. His wife, "Laura Pickler" (Jennifer Garner) is extremely proud of this accomplishment and plans to use it to further advance her fortunes by having Bob run for political office. But that all changes one day when the organizers of the butter carving event ask Bob not to compete this year so that others can have a chance. Naturally, being the understanding type of person he is Bob reluctantly agrees. His wife, on the other hand, is incensed and sees this as an attempt to thwart her ambitions. To that effect, she announces that she will compete in his place instead. That being said, although Laura has some artistic talent she soon becomes distressed to learn that a young black orphan by the name of "Destiny" (Yara Shahidi) has also chosen to compete--and Destiny happens to have a natural artistic ability that is quite extraordinary. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that what made this film so entertaining was the way it tended to highlight some of the attitudes of certain people living in the "Bible Belt" of America. While they may profess to being Christian their actions clearly say otherwise. Yet--even though many of these scenes were quite funny in their own right—I must admit that there were a couple of scenes that were just plain vulgar and they detracted from what could have been a truly outstanding piece of comedy and satire. Even so, I enjoyed this movie for the most part and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.

I watched Butter without first seeing a trailer or reading up on it, which I normally do. What drew me to choose this movie, even though I don't like Jennifer Garner, was that I'm from Iowa. The stupidity of the subject of the movie, butter, brings forth other more realistic issues/ topics. The only disappointment of the film was that Jennifer Garner's character didn't get the feces kicked out of her. Plus, Hugh Jackman plays a huge jackass. But, if they weren't in the film, I probably would have liked the "bad guys." And to anyone not from Iowa, I never knew butter carving existed & I'm pretty sure most Iowans are with me.
