Butter, a movie by Jim Field Smith,
is a
story about what it means to win at all costs and against all odds. It blends
social commentary, outrageous comedy and heartfelt drama in telling the story
of the ambitious Laura Pickler (Jennifer Garner), the self-anointed First Lady
of Butter Carving. Refusing to accept that her husband (Ty Burrell) wants to
step down after his 15-year run as the “Iowa State Butter Carving Champion,”
and therefore end the Pickler family’s reign in the spotlight, Laura takes a
stab at the title herself. But her bid for glory is complicated when two
unlikely contestants enter the race – one, her husband’s hard-living mistress
(Olivia Wilde), and the other a 10-year-old foster child named Destiny (Yara
Shahidi). Enlisting the help of her high school sweetheart, Boyd (Hugh
Jackman), Laura will stop at nothing to be crowned champion, even if it means
resorting to sabotage. Overall, it is quite a trendy movie for drama lovers.
