Like a companion piece to Election, Alexander Payne's magna opus to the steel hearted, uber frau willing to steamroll over every & all people in order to get ahead, Butter turns over simple Midwestern values on its head by exposing the hypocrisies & irregularities of the common man or in this case woman. Missing more than hitting, Butter churns (sorry!) at a predictable pace occasionally striking the scared cows it aims at w/a game cast including Jennifer Garner, Olivia Wilde, Ty Burrell & 'Clueless" herself, Alicia Silverstone but unlike Payne's films which often pierce their subject matters so hard it hurts, Butter barely leaves a bruise.
