"Butter" tells the story of a talented politician and butter carver, whose wife tries to hold up the conservative and honorable image of the couple by competing at the local butter carving competition after her man is dismissed for winning to often. Within the competition, she has to face an orphanized girl and some other very special opponents and learns a lot about her marriage and herself.
I like the general plot choice because it dares to be bizarre. A film about carving butter is something.. different and that alone is a pleasure to have. Unfortunately the plot doesn't really make sense or at least just very loosely and the characters are so exaggerated that it is sometimes hard to watch. Even the moral at the end is more improvised than anything else. The film has some entertainment value in a sense that it doesn't get boring but that's pretty much all you get.
All in all this is probably supposed to be some kind of satire but looks a bit too much like your typical B-movie to be acknowledged as such.
