Lee Daniel's The Butler

Based on the true story of a man that was a butler in the White House for dozens of Presidents. It reminded me of Forest Gump - showing all the decades and years and all the historical events. It didn't WOW me though. I think I had really high expectations going in - maybe too high. The acting was good, but something about the editing bothered me - it felt choppy. I didn't connect much with any of the characters. The movie didn't go deep enough I think. I'm not even going to mention who was in it. All in all, I say: SKIP IT or RENT IT - if you like historical films.
