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.

The reason its solo expensive to rent is because its not in theaters yet! Grow up and just enjoy the movie!

I don't know even remember why I rented this. Glad I did because this film is one of the better films I've seen.
