Looks like critics are trying to read into the political allusions at play. People, lighten up - it's a movie about carving butter. Great laugh-out-loud moments mixed with some unexpectedly sincere sweet moments. Butter is best described Christopher Guest movie - reminiscent of Best in Show - without the mockumentary angle, and with a big infusion of heart. Great movie, with some hysterical and poignant moments. Olivia Wilde steals every scene she's in, and her R-rated theatrics contrast perfectly with the film's two other best performances from the young Yara Shahidi and her sweet adopted father Rob Corddry. Hugh Jackman and Alicia Silverstone are top-billed but left to small bit roles. Ty Burrell appears as, well, Phil Dunphy with a different name - just as funny and loveable as on the TV show, but would love to see what else he's got.

More than $10. It's $10 because this movie is not in theaters yet. So you can rent this (like going to the movies) and watch it on your big tv with your friends and not have to pay way too much for popcorn and candy.

Funny. It had a great story line, the Yara was very talented, Olivia was Wilde, and hot, Ashley was beautiful, Jennifer was quite determined. Good to watch in the Theater
