Entertainment Reviews:
There are missed opportunities and weak moments in the script to be sure, but not enough to discount it, and the stellar acting by Forest Whitaker is what will make this movie memorable longterm.

Lee Daniels comes good with this rich and politically subversive tale of a long-serving White House butler.

It's not an interpretation of actual history as much as it is a reduced revision of movie history.

If only history were like this: epochs of simple-minded epic struggle, followed by happy-ever-after closures.

It's an odd, uneven film, but there is a lot to like here.

Rating: 2/5 --
Feels so dehydrogenated and polyunsaturated that an apter title might have been Lee Daniels' I Can't Believe It's Not Butler.

Daily Telegraph (UK)
A formidably cast epic that eclipses over seventy years of a man's life in a landsape of evolving racism, Daniels lets his material speak for itself, while history calls the shots.

Product Description:
Director Lee Daniels (PRECIOUS) teams up with Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Danny Strong to tell the remarkable story of White House butler Eugene Allen (played by Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker), who served eight U.S. presidents over the course of 30 years, and witnessed sweeping social change during his three decades of service at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Inspired by Wil Haygood's Washington Post article, the film features Robin Williams as Dwight D. Eisenhower, James Marsden as John F. Kennedy, Liev Schreiber as Lyndon B. Johnson, John Cusack as Richard M. Nixon, and Alan Rickman as Ronald Reagan. Oprah Winfrey, Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard, Jane Fonda, David Oyelowo, Lenny Kravitz, Melissa Leo, and Vanessa Redgrave co-star.
