Review of The Butler

It amazes me how the least talented actor is the lead in a movie with such a large, otherwise impressive, cast.
I wanted to watch this because of the history aspect and sadly I had to experience another horrific example of Whitaker's inability to emote in a believable way.

Also, this film fails to follow basic film tactics that become distracting in several scenes.

Finally, what is with all the famous actors playing presidents? It takes us out of the scene each time.
