BUTTER Special Screenings

In the tradition of BEST IN SHOW and ELECTION, BUTTER is a merrily twisted comedy about American life and culture. BUTTER tells the tale of the raw ambition of Laura Pickler (Jennifer Garner), the wife of Bob Pickler (Ty Burrell), Iowa’s long-reigning champion butter carver For 15 years, Laura has relished her high-profile role as her husband’s beautiful, loyal helpmate. But when Bob is pressured to retire and allow someone else a chance at glory, an indignant Laura decides to enter the competition herself. She finds herself facing unlikely yet formidable contenders in 10-year-old Destiny (Yara Shahidi) , the African -American foster child of a local couple, as well as bad-girl stripper Brooke (Olivio Wilde) and Bob’s number-one fan, Carol-Ann (Kristen School) Laura resolves to do whatever it takes to win. And if that means resorting to sabotage – and recruiting her dim-witted ex-boyfriend Boyd (Hugh Jackman) as a co-conspirator – then so be it.
