The movie Butter has you following a few different story-lines, all involving butter carving. One woman named Laura (played by Jennifer Garner) is trying to uphold her family's name when her husband, who has for the last fifteen years been the Iowa State butter sculpting champion, decides to leave the butter carving world. She takes matters into her own hands and enters the competition herself. Then there is the story-line of Destiny, a young girl who has been passed from foster home to foster home and feels that she is not good at anything. But when she gets placed in her new home with soon to be adoptive parents she finds that she has a talent for butter carving.
I had high hopes for this movie seeing that it has a great cast, including: Hugh Jackman, Olivia Wilde, and Ashley Greene. But I wouldn't say this is a movie I would recommend. It has so much unneeded bad language--don't get me wrong, I say curse words here and there, but not every time I open my mouth. I just didn't feel it needed that much vulgarity, or crudeness. But I did love that you got to see Destiny go from having no home and never unpacking her suitcase, to her having her own room and a family of her own that she never has to leave, nor feel unloved or not good at anything again. The acting was not bad. If you are into movies that are quirky and have a lot of sex and bad language you would be into this movie, but if you are like me and find it unnecessary I wouldn't recommend this movie to you.
I give it a 4 out of 10.
If you want to see this movie I saw it on Netflix and you can go watch it there or rent it at a Red Box. Im off to watch the People's Choice Awards.
