Missed its Audience

This had all the feel of one of those made for TV Movies of the Week that were produced in the '70's. It contained all the elements of morality and preachiness that we expect from an afternoon special and a predictable conclusion where we all learn a moralistic fable lesson.Simple story but well acted and a number of names that are surprising for a movie of this caliber. The characters are one dimensional but well played. I cannot for the life of me figure out why the language and adult situations were added. This could have been a PG rated movie easily and will not have a problem being edited for TV.Not a waste of time but I can understand not wanting to shell out the price of a ticket.

Light hearted funny satire with a top notch cast

This light satirical comedy about a butter carving competition has a strong cast and an OK story. The plot is quite funny with some lol moments. There are some cute digs about race and ambition.I have never been a huge Jennifer Garner fan (the over perky grin) but luckily it makes use of the talents of other fine actors especially Olivia Wilde as a stripper, Alicia Silverstone, and Ashley Greene as a teenage daughter. Hugh Jackman makes a small appearance.I can see why it wasn't a box office success - it's more TV movie material with a A list movie cast. But I found it worth a watch just don't expect too much.
