First of all, it started with an amazing concept, which Mandi Bierly pointed out sounds like it belongs to a Christopher Guest movie but doesn’t: A wife, played by Jennifer Garner, begins competing in a butter-carving contest when her husband is forced out of the competition. Then, the film added EW-approved actors Ty Burrell and Ashley Greene to the cast. And now, based on the decision to cast Hugh Jackman (as an old boyfriend of Garner’s character) and Alicia Silverstone (as the mother who I imagine is not a virgin and can drive around her teenage butter-carver daughter), I’ve decided that Butter‘s goal is to pack everything that’s awesome into one film. What’s next? Jet packs?! I know my heart isn’t supposed to love butter — very high in fat — but it does already!
Who else is hoping Silverstone’s daughter carves a Statue of Liberty that says “R.S.V.P.”?
i’d like to see alicia silverstone as mom. i hope she does well.
“Alicia Silverstone (as the mother who I imagine is not a virgin and can drive around her teenage butter-carver daughter)”
This just made my day!
I see nothing awesome about this movie except Jennifer Garner (although she’s been boring lately) and Hugh Jackman.
I love the Clueless references, you rule.
So we had “Milk” last year, “Salt” this year, and “Butter” coming soon…what’s next?!
Don’t forget “Sugar”! That came out last year, as well…LoL
Its like a Paula Deen recipe!
johnny – that was better than the Clueless reference!
I officially feel very old…Alicia Silverstone is playing the mother of a teenager?
exactly :S
I hope Alicia carves hers out of Earth Balance
Randi, That was awesome! Your comment has me totally buggin’
By the way, super primed about the movie. The cast keeps getting more incredible and now that I read it’s a political satire based on the 2008 Democratic Iowa Caucus, I think it’s going to be something out of one of Diablo Cody’s dreams. BUT, wasn’t Kate Hudson supposed to be part of this?
Oooh, I’ve missed Alicia Silverstone. Her presence, more than anything, has really piqued my interest in this movie.
I’m definitely more interested in any more movie, once I know Alicia Silverstone is in the cast.
Hugh Jackman is awsome!
He is by far the hottest male actor out there right now!
I agree he is the hottest male actor out there, but when is he going to do another serious romantic lead again???? I loved him in “Australia”
Kristen Schaal is also starring in this movie!!
Anything with Hugh Jackman in it, I’m there to see it. Has there ever been an actor that has got it all besides Hugh?
