Product Description

For many years, Laura Pickler (Garner) has relished the prestige and admiration afforded her as the wife of Iowa's longtime butter-carving champion, Bob (Burrell). 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 ex-boyfriend (Jackman) for a bit of sabotage.

I really liked this movie. The part I liked the best was when my son Rory appears with a solo center shot! Yes, he was in this movie as an extra. I wish he could have been listed in the credits... This is a photo of he and I together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Movie

This is a very different, interesting, and entertaining movie. The young girl is excellent in her role, and my favorite character, hands-down is the hooker. Her character is brash, outspoken, and fascinating. The movie presents a competition between an ambitious, pushy, have-to-win, domineering housewife with political aspirations and a very young, intelligent, creative girl. They are competing by turning butter into artwork, which may be a thing somewhere, but was a hoot to me. This is a fun, and kind of wonderful, movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Loads of butter and loads of entertainment
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2012

The quick description blurb for this film (on the Amazon Instant Video page for it) describes this film shortly as:

"Jennifer Garner, Ty Burrell, and Olivia Wilde star as unlikely rivals who will do whatever it takes to beat the competition in this quirky and outrageous comedy about love, sex, winning, and most of all, butter."

If that was the only thing I knew about this film, then I must admit that I'd really probably be inclined to just look right past it.

Thankfully and luckily, I saw a write-up noting that the Blu-ray release for this film had been scheduled over on another site that I frequent that provides a lot of information on HighDef video releases (in Digest format). When I saw the list of stars and read the description of the film that was there, my interest was piqued despite the thought that I'd be watching a movie that was "only about butter carving". Hah! Only about butter carving, as if.

This film is about so much more and really I'd love to sit and try to describe it all in detail but at the same time I really don't want to spoil this film at all as I think it deserves to be seen without having been ruined in advance. Spoiled Butter just wouldn't satisfy ;-)

Jennifer Garner would seem to be the main star here and she does take home top billing, but by the end of the film you'll be thinking that this film was much more the sum of the parts rather than just one individual star. Garner's Laura Pickler character has designs on riding out her "First lady of butter carving" status to get to the upper stratosphere of society. Surely she can parlay her husband's (Ty Burrell's Bob Pickler) championship status into greater things, with the couple's "Camp Butter" being just the beginning. As we're inroduced to both characters we're probably thinking that this all has to be a joke and that no one would ever place such importance on contests like what we're shown here, and yet, like Punkin Chunkin and the attention it gathers each year we should probably quickly remember that what people find entertaining in one area isn't necessarily what others will find so entertaining.

The bigger story here unfolds as Bob Pickler finds himself pushed into retirement after many years of being the Johnson County and state wide butter carving champion. Seeing the end of her husband's popularity and status, Laura Pickler decides to (eventually) take matters into her own hands. Along the way though, the Pickler's both push each other into doing things that provide quite a bit of entertainment for us and quite a bit of possible future problems for each. It's in this area we get to meet Olivia Wilde's Brooke who seems as singularly focused as the paperboy in the old John Cusack's  Better Off Dead .

We also get introduced to a precious young child named Destiny as she is shuttled from foster home to foster home before eventually landing with Ethan and Julie (Rob Corddry and, to me, a barely recognizable Alicia Silverstone -- a few times along the way I saw the much younger Alicia Silverstone look, but mostly she seemed to be someone that has left behind the looks of her youth for a more serious image).

All of these characters eventually cross paths in ways that make this movie a charming and complete surprise and offer up those loads of entertainment that I speak of in the review title here. Not be left out are roles by Hugh Jackman and Ashley Green that add in a few more surprises and laughs.

By the end of this film though, the laughs are perhaps pushed aside a bit to offer viewers quite a bit of warmth and tenderness.

The film carries an R rating for language and sexual content. Viewing with teens would probably work for most modern families, though persons that are more easily offended by language and sexual content would obviously want to avoid this film. Personally, I wouldn't consider showing this to anyone younger than a teen, at least not without being selective about what scenes are shown and which are censored out.

3.0 out of 5 stars I understood how they were poking fun at the bureaucracy of insignificant things like butter sculptures ...
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2016
Verified Purchase
This is a weird movie in more ways than one. I should preface by saying I'm originally from Cedar Rapids, IA and go to school at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. I have been to the state fair twice and the butter carvings are interesting to look at, but the activities surrounding them are certainly not as dramatic as they are made out to be in the film. I get it, it's a movie. I realize I'm nitpicking. I get how Jennifer Garner's character was supposed to be a satire about the ultraconservative middle class. I understood how they were poking fun at the bureaucracy of insignificant things like butter sculptures at the state fair. That said, Jennifer Garner's accent was just distracting. I know she's hamming it up and all, but it wasn't even the stereotypical "midwestern" accent, which usually sounds more Canadian to me. I think she would have been fine with her normal voice. The only other person using an accent was Hugh Jackman, but he's Australian so that hardly counts. Ty Burrell, Olivia Wilde, and Hugh Jackman all played interesting characters and they had fun interactions on screen. Rob Corddry and Alicia Silverstone played what I would consider less exciting characters, but they still managed to be interesting and have a strong presence on screen. The little girl was able to hold her own well enough. Okay, time for more nitpicking; when the little girl rides her bike from school, to the mall with Olivia Wilde's character, and then to her house that is apparently a good distance out of town, come on. You can call it "movie magic" all you want, it's still gonna be bulls*** to me. I know for a fact more than 70% of the people who watch this will go, "Oh, it takes place in Iowa. This is an accurate representation of Iowa. This and Field of Dreams show us what Iowans are really like." I'm not trying to be the PC police or anything, I just know that's what's going to happen. I don't watch South Park and go, "Oh, so that's Colorado, huh." It's a comedy, not a documentary. Anyway, this movie is surprisingly decent. It's entertaining at certain points, cringe-worthy at others, sometimes it's slow, and sometimes it hits you with a quick laugh. Three stars. Probably not worth a second viewing, but it's not bad the first time around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Racy and funny
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2013

I often find that with indie comedies, all of the funniest lines are in the movie trailer, but the actual movie is often unevenly cut and dull.

Not so with Butter.

If you like the trailer, you'll find that the whole movie is consistently full of similar humor, if not even racier. Its humor has a social commentary aspect to it, and makes fun of Conservative America, which many may find not funny, since the movie is making fun of a large swath of white, country fair, obese, Red State people. It has sexual humor in it, but in a far more sophisticated way than a Todd Philips or Farrelly Brother production. (I loved the first Hangover and Something about Mary, but I think Butter is even funnier and weirder!)

See the trailer, and if you like it, you'll love this movie.

However, if you're thinking about watching this movie because you enjoy country arts & crafts, country fairs, guns, or churning butter, stay away from this movie. It's demographically not for you.

This is a great movie which combines a very unique story, great acting, and humanity. I didn't know what to expect when I saw it. I was intrigued because I'm from Iowa so I grew up with the state fair and butter cow. It is not accurate as far as the butter cow story goes, but it tells a moving story of its own. I bought it for my mom I loved it so much.
