Butter's Final Meal

Butter fills the void of movies with a message for young adults. It's intelligent and engaging for adults too. Everyone should be on board to keep this movie in theaters long enough for organizations, groups and schools to catch on and advocate for this important gem of a film. Don't wait - go and see it!

I've seen many movies that portray high school bullying and self harm- this one has a slight edge due to the saxophone music. And I thought the ending, while unrealistic and sickly-sweet, was rewarding.

However there were no laugh out loud moments and the relationship between the young man and his parents wasn't fully explored. The parents are essentially placed on the sidelines while their son is hurting, and they don't seem concerned at all about his morbid obesity nor do they encourage their son to exercise or diet. Some of this movie did seem downright exploitative and mean-spirited. So much so that the mother enables her son to eat high caloric meals, and she even seems shocked when her son cuts down on his portions.

In terms of the scenes with the high schoolers partying or hanging out, those do drag on. I didn't think I'd rate this above a 5, but the Professor and Doctor characters were fun to watch and were great advocates for Butter. As a whole, I think this movie is worth watching due to its musical interludes and emphasis on self respect and healthy relationships.

Cheeky title, but it's in the same ballpark. While I absolutely despised The Whale as a film, I found this one better done, even as an adult watching. It was relatable...life isn't all doom and gloom, and people who seem perfectly normal can be dying inside. And people near to those suffering always wish they'd have known, suffering people don't wear a cowbell. And this film catches that well, bouncing between joy and utter sadness.

It's a little corny at times, and not the best acted. It's also not completely unrealistic in any way, as I was worried where it was heading from the description. The description both here and on prime actually doesn't do it justice, it's a far deeper movie and the catfishing isn't all that relevant to the movie at large. But it doesn't pound the drama and negativity into your head like The Whale, it's a balanced look. Give it a watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon, you'll be glad you did.

This movie isn't your Hollywood definition of a blockbuster or hit movie. However, it was such a good movie that i am shocked the reviews are so low! It handled delicate subject material respectfully tastefully in my opinion while managing to give a good message that is realistic. It's okay not to be the most popular in school or date the hottest girls because everyones life has worth. It's a good lesson for teens on both sides of the spectrum, the bully and the bullied. I would have given it a ten if not for the last 15 minutes that I thought they could have done more with. Would have loved for Trey and Parker to talk to "Butter" directly instead of through email. I truly think this movie should be shown in every middle school and high school. The actor who played Butter was nothing short of amazing!

I'm not going to explain the plot because it's been done in other reviews. I want to say that Butter kept my attention through the whole movie. It was interesting to watch. Very few movies keep my attention nowadays, but this one truly had me enthralled. I'm usually a crime and horror fan but wanted something different tonight. I'm happy I picked this movie. The scenario is very different from your run of the mill movies. The star in it was so unique that I couldn't look away. ......,...................,.....................................................................
