Review of Butter (2012)

By Pete Hammond (936) for Boxoffice Magazine (2,896) on 02 Oct 2012

Review of Butter (2012)

By Emanuel Levy (2,948) for EmanuelLevy.Com (2,771) on 22 Sep 2012

Once the wilted satire of Jason Micallef's script is stripped away, what's left is a generally amusing competition comedy…
