McKaley Miller and Alex Kersting in Butter (2022)
A lonely obese boy everyone calls "Butter" is about to make history. He is going to eat himself to death-live on the Internet-and everyone is invited to watch. When he first makes the announcement online to his classmates, Butter expects pity, insults, and possibly sheer indifference. What he gets are morbid cheerleaders rallying around his deadly plan. Yet as their dark encouragement grows, it begins to feel a lot like popularity. And that feels good. But what happens when Butter reaches his suicide deadline? Can he live with the fallout if he doesn't go through with his plans?

    I can't believe the rating is only 5.5

    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!

    Great Movie with no long Boring Spots!

    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. ......,...................,.....................................................................

    What's Up with the Soundtrack??

    Great Movie and even better soundtrack.

    Hey guys - The scene where Butters friends take him out .

    At one point you see them line dancing - Cowboy country style .

    But the song playing is far from country !!

    Sounds like Zeppelin!!

    " All I wanted to say..... You're gonna miss me when I'm gone ".... ( something like that ).

    Who is That ??????

    Also - another fun little tune I heard in the movie ... The scene after the Christmas scene , Butter is taking to his friend .

    Then you see him in a supermarket loading up supplies .

    The lyrics are like " Well On That Street /You bought your scar - from my way down / Had my Fortune Told .... And that Green Eyed Gypsy / Oh so shakes me / She says that the Pain is what makes me - Whole ".... Oh such a cool little tune !!

    Who sings that ???

    I'm on a mission .

    Again - Great movie - I wish I could be a vigilante and deliver Justice to all who have been bullied !!

    Tears me apart !!

    I don't get it !!

    I grew up with a bunch of A Holes and went to school for 12 years and I never ever noticed or knew of anyone being bullied .

    But then again - I grew up without social media .

    That's a real Be Otch !!

    But still - people were still bullied back then .

    Never around me though .

    Or even my friends who went to other schools .

    Trust me - If I did see anything like that - a boy or girl being bullied , it would end fast !!

    I'm that type of guy .

    I always stick up for the underdog .

    Everyone should !!

    Butter

    I was interesting about independent movie. I love this movie so far. Alex is pretty good actor to play Butter. I can relate his feeling and how he has been through and what people doesn't see either notice till something happened and got noticed. It kinda bother me how people treat and think real friends and stuff but they are not real till they have to show real side and show who they are (believe it or not, I'm deaf and i don't have real friends mostly fake friends they only care what they see/think) I just don't understand people but Movies are my life.

    Finally - a solid movie for young adults

    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!
