Leave your thoughts about Butter.
| Epoch TimesMark Jackson'Butter' pokes R-rated comedy (lots of swearing) fun at dirty politics, as well as the 4-H club-attending, pie-baking, cow-comparing, butter-carving, red state demographic. |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Jeff MeyersThere are a few chuckles along the way (mainly sight gags involving butter), but the commentary is obvious and toothless. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's a crass, mean-spirited feature that abandons artistry for hackneyed R-rated buffoonery. |
| We Got This CoveredJonathan LackButter is a spectacularly entertaining film, a well written, perfectly paced comedy brought to life by one of the year's best ensemble casts. It also functions as adept, timely political satire. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyBarking rather than biting, this social-political satire is disappointingly soft and too crude, perhaps because it's a feature directorial debut. |
| The Patriot LedgerAl AlexanderThe characters want to melt your heart, but like everything in "Butter," they're just too pat. |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasA fairly simple and straight-forward competition comedy that's much more entertaining and endearing than one might imagine from the premise. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoThere's no doubt "Butter" should be saltier, its resemblance to anything political constrained to the slickness of a campaign commercial, proving Smith to be a solid, if unspectacular maker of studio-grade comedies. |
| NewsBlazePrairie MillerIf anyone thinks Obama's statement about rural whites in this country clinging to their guns and religion as the hands down, way over the top winning quote in riling up the rubes, they haven't seen this movie buttering up the blue states. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongDirector Jim Field Smith keeps the quirky characters coming with smooth efficiency and throws in some nice touches along the way. |
