Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen
Ploydsge just watch it!
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
EmmP430 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.
Gillotine 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.
Gordon-11 This film is about an ambitious woman trying to carry on her husband's butter sculpting legacy.I found the topic of butter sculpting rather unusual, and therefore intriguing. the plot itself was a nice surprise, it's fast paced in the sense that the first competition already finished aid thirty minutes into the film. Destiny is a captivating character, her transformation and her ability to view life in such a positive way is remarkable. the stripper subplot is interesting as well and she has a memorably rebellious character. I found the film quite inspirational, even though the ending is a little contrived, as Jennifer Garner didn't question what happened in the competition.
junkmail-385 I didn't have high hopes for this film but what I saw was a terrible film. From the reviews, I expected some nastiness but this script quickly entered the realm of utterly distasteful and nonsensical/absurd. The first 10 minutes or so were good. The film seemed to hold promise for actually being good. But then the plot line became sick, with numerous non sequiturs. Four-letter words are flung without a proper context having been laid. It's like the writers had an inkling of a good idea but were not creative enough to carry it off. Who is so stupid as to sign off on a project like this? And Jennifer Garner was that desperate for money?For writers who lack the imagination, the story of the REAL butter lady from the Iowa State Fair would have made for a good movie without even trying.
