celia d This is a puzzling and dreadful movie. It has a stellar cast and should be funny but there are too many problems - Why is Laura PIckler even good at carving butter just because Bob was? why is the child black? Destiny is a very wooden actor. Destiny's backstory makes no sense. The script is a complete dud with characters and situations thrown in at random towards a pointless ending.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/20/24 Full Review Dan S Watched from start to finish, outside of the weight and saxophone the rest of the movie didn’t make any sense. Cringy is an understatement!!!!!! 30 year old’s acting like HS is hard to buy as well.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Over 10 years old and I still enjoy this food-politic comedy by director Jim Field Smith A story of greed, sex, blackmail, and butter itself A huge cast including Jennifer Garner, Ty Burrell, Rob Corddry, Olivia Wilde, Ashley Greene, Hugh Jackman, Alicia Silverstone, Yara Shahidi, and Kristen Schaal It centers on Laura Pickler whom has relished the prestige and admiration afforded her as the wife of Iowa's longtime butter-carving champion, Bob When Bob is pressured to retire from competition so that someone else has a chance at victory, Laura decides to enter the contest herself But, when three formidable opponents also enter the fray, Laura vows to win at any cost, including recruiting her stupid ex-boyfriend car salesman for a bit of sabotage Laura's world to her seems perfect but with other candidates running she feels it's crumbling apart She's willing to stay on top and as relevant as possible even becoming a button-down manipulator Other subplots include Laura and Bob's daughter, Kaitlin being so rebellious and shut-off, Brooke, a stripper that Bob turns to due to his rocky marriage and Destiny, a small girl that is bounced from foster home to foster home until she finds a stable pair of parents named the Emmets She maybe finds something she's good at This is actually still funny as I remember it Of all things it takes butter sculpting quite seriously but in a hilarious manner It also manages to mirror the United States primary elections of 2008 Ok it's not perfect and the political satire could use some tweaking to stand out A few subplots get completely dropped too But the humor is twisted in a dark manner while the world these people inhabit is bright and sunny It's centrally about competition and the characters partake in it any way True butter itself is fattening, you only spread it on food, and maybe the government does make it one of the few products you barely have to pay for Although even something as simple as this dairy product can drive people to better themselves or express in a manner that's unexpected We can have more than one thing that defines us, one thing isn't the only one we can have, it's okay too to pander to the lowest common audience 'Butter' is still a fun Midwest satire to watch even if some story elements could be sculpted better and saltier Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/23 Full Review Canyou N A bitter trophy wife and 10 y/o orphan go head to head in a butter sculpting competition. Some of the political satire falls flat, but that's not really the heart of the movie. Every joke hits just right and its easy to fall in love with the orphan and all the people who help her. Plus, it has bloopers! Who hates a movie with bloopers!?!? Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
