    A made-up movie to try and win an Oscar for Oprah. Historically inaccurate. The actors that played Presidents and wives, were preposterous!

    About time the civil rights movement was taught to the young people. Very well acted with big name actors who certainly didn't need the $

    Great depiction of the times and era. Oprah Winfrey was wonderful in her role and was a stand out for me. The soundtrack is also quite enjoyable; we stayed to the end (like we always do) to read the credits! See it!

    Interesting true story of a butler to many U.S. Presidents. Also very much a family story with 2 sons who had different ways of dealing with civil rights. Oprah gives an amazing performance as The Butler's Wife. Perhaps a Best Supporting Actress nod?
