\"\"<\/a>Butter was nothing short of a crazy comedy, with a uncanny humor about a couple named the Picklers from Iowa who were the 15 year\u00a0consecutive\u00a0better carving champions. When a butter\u00a0chairman\u00a0pressures Bob to step down from his legacy and give someone else a chance at glory. His partner decides to take it upon her self and enters the competition to uphold the family name. What she thought was going to be a walk in the park turned into a great competition between worthy opponents.<\/p>\n

Jim Field Smith did a tremendous job directing a comedy about a not so common\u00a0suburban\u00a0couple played by Jennifer Garner and Ty Burrel, but also showed a sad story about a foster child named Destiny played by Yara Shahidi who only dream is t0 find her mother and passion is to carve butter.<\/p>\n

This was a great comedy and a must see upon release it kept me rolling through the film with surprising twist and its about butter if you ever want to see a great comedy you’ll find it in this film, along with a\u00a0glimpse\u00a0of the hardships of a young African American foster \u00a0child who’s passion for carving butter gets her through each day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
