I see about 70 movies per year and rarely do I see the audience stand up and applaud at the end of a movie. The Butler was worthy of the applause.
Forrest Whitaker as Cecil Gaines was as good – or even better – than he was in The Last King Of Scotland. Oprah Winfrey gave an equally outstanding performance as his wife. Each actor is worthy of another Oscar nomination for their roles.
The stellar supporting cast brought the movie to the next level. 30 years worth of White House history is a lot to pack into a movie, but the writer Danny Strong did a fine job, and Lee Daniels’ direction was near flawless.

What people are saying about the RunPee app.
Best app ever!
RunPee is the only app we use before movies and afterward. not only does RunPee tell you when it’s a good time to leave the theater, kids these days ask if there’s anything during/after the credits, and RunPee lets parents know when there might be some thing that a kid might miss!
RunPee has tidbits, ratings, leave the theater times, and lengths. This is THE VITAL APP for watching any movie!
We used it when my wife was pregnant, and we have recommended it to every pregnant gal we know! How else can you enjoy a movie when you have to go out so often?!

Don’t miss your favorite movie moments because you have to pee or need a snack. Use the RunPee app (Androidor iPhone) when you go to the movies. We have Peetimes for all wide release films every week, including IF, Fall Guy, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and coming soon Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and many others. We have literally thousands of Peetimes—from classic movies through today’s blockbusters. You can also keep up with movie news and reviews on our blog, or by following us on Twitter @RunPee. If there’s a new film out there, we’ve got your bladder covered.
RunPee Mom is our emotional bedrock. Without her, RunPee never would have lasted a decade as an app (which is since the dawn of time in internet years). She’s our biggest cheerleader and an unending source of unconditional love. She works cheerfully and tirelessly, seeing any movie we ask of her, writing interesting reviews, and being our…well…MOM. Her genres of choice: kiddie flicks, animated movies, emotional dramas, historical features, war films, diverse biographies, and even dense, diabolically plotted thrillers. She knows more about famous and infamous figures in history than said figures probably knew about themselves. She’s the Quiz Manager for the RunPee.com blog, and our resident movie celebrity/trivia expert. If you’ve taken a RunPee Quiz, you’ve most likely been given a virtual hug by RunPee Mom.
