Butter Film Review

Butter -"So, you want a cookie 'cause you're going to get pregnant? I get pregnant, like, once a month bitch!" 

An extremely bold film written by Jason A. Micallef, with so much symbolism you're beaten over the head with it, but not in a bad way. This film is utterly hilarious and it's sadly so obvious why it was never released to theaters anywhere. The plot revolves literally around an annual Iowa contest of "Butter Carving". For the past 15 years it has been won by one man named Bob played by Ty Burrell who in the film is married to Laura played by Jennifer Garner who is a parody of Republican presidential hopeful 2012 bat-shit insane "Michelle Bachman" who was told by God himself to run for president.

Bob is asked to step down from entering the contest to give others a chance at winning which drives Laura to the brink of insanity as she feeds off the local fame she gains from her husbands accolades. Meanwhile a young African-American orphan is adopted by Rob Corddry & Alicia Silverstone who happens to be amazing at carving butter. So Jennifer Garner is left with one option, enter the contest herself to maintain the winning streak and her opponent is this little African-American orphan & a stripper played by Olivia Wilde. That is the plot in a nut-shell. The comedic timing in this film is perfect but it's so politically incorrect that it put's Sacha Baron Cohen to shame.

Some famous butter carvings in the film consist of "The Last Supper", "Schindler's List", "The Kennedy Assassination" & 2012 presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich riding a pig. So you can see what I mean about the political symbolism and how anti-republican party it is. Hugh Jackman makes an unforgettable appearance as a car salesmen who prays to God about how tight Jennifer Garners pussy is..... and it's utterly hysterical. Olivia Wilde plays a stripper who fucks Ty Burrell with force at the beginning of the film and then demands money afterwards, but Jennifer Garner gets in her way thus creating the conflict.

There is also an appearance from Ashley Greene of Twilight fame who is basically in the film to justify a homo-erotic scene between her and Olivia Wilde and it's so distastefully done but on purpose. It's one of the few American comedies of the past 10 years that actually delivers consistent laughs in every scene and has replay value. It's a shame American audiences weren't ready for it, or "The Weinstein Company" didn't take the risk in giving it a wide release as I believe it would have entertained an adult audience very successfully. A hell of a buttery ride. 8/10
