Love

Ok I love movies
Watching stories takes you away from what is now
I watch em all the time
ANY story
Some are horrible and lame
But when you get the good ones
That makes you feel so good

The butler was a goooood one
I loved this film

The acting was amazing
The cast so good
Everybody played their part well

 Oprah did an excellent job as Gloria

 Forest Whitaker as usual well done

Clarence Williams! I was so happy to see him! It was a small role but he NAILED it

Cuba Gooding Jr Very good and very memorable as always. 
Terrence Howard...Great as usual
Nelsan Ellis was great in a tiny role as MLK
Jesse Williams who usually plays hunky, pretty boy roles got into the James Lawson role and  did a great job.

David Banner lost some weight and  was so good.
 I liked Mariah Carey. She was good in Precious and she was good here...

I also liked how they  included details that people would miss if they didnt know specific personal things about the various presidents.
Like they subtly put in JFK's Addison's disease
Also Nixon's phlebitis..they just showed his suffering
Johnson's constipation - later in life they found he had massive intestinal problems including diverticulitis. They say he had a horrible diet
These are things that somebody really close would know but they did'nt HARP on it...just sort of showed it and if you knew you could relate and say OH

The story was well written and seemed realistic
 I appreciated that.

 When a story draws you in so you forget yourself and your life and you for even a minute

That's a good story

No matter what the details
