Rating: 2/5 --
History is written by the victors, they say; this movie looks as if the history of American race politics as written by Julian Fellowes.

[Q]uite moving....Daniels' THE BUTLER is always engaging...
Hollywood Reporter
Whitaker digs in deep and gives a marvelous under-the-skin performance...
Variety
Forest Whitaker brings a quiet grandeur to the title...
Wall Street Journal
It's not an interpretation of actual history as much as it is a reduced revision of movie history.

There are missed opportunities and weak moments in the script to be sure, but not enough to discount it, and the stellar acting by Forest Whitaker is what will make this movie memorable longterm.

Rating: 6.6 --
It's a shame that the excellent central storyline gets so obstructed and mucked up by all the noise, spectacle, and pageantry.

Product Description:
Director Lee Daniels (PRECIOUS) teams up with Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Danny Strong to tell the remarkable story of White House butler Eugene Allen (played by Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker), who served eight U.S. presidents over the course of 30 years, and witnessed sweeping social change during his three decades of service at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Inspired by Wil Haygood's Washington Post article, the film features Robin Williams as Dwight D. Eisenhower, James Marsden as John F. Kennedy, Liev Schreiber as Lyndon B. Johnson, John Cusack as Richard M. Nixon, and Alan Rickman as Ronald Reagan. Oprah Winfrey, Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard, Jane Fonda, David Oyelowo, Lenny Kravitz, Melissa Leo, and Vanessa Redgrave co-star.
