This is like markus7 with The Lone Ranger. Lol Even if you like it, if you don't as much as they do, they attack.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I plan to rent that one eventually, but I'm no hurry.

Insult me? Lol oh whatever I got no time to wast fighting with a person I'm never gonna meet in person

First of all how did I attack u? Did I call you a name? Did I cuss at you make fun of you? NO so don't sit at you computer saying I attacked you making you feel like a victim because your not

There are so many recognizeable/big-name actors in this. Just looking at them all on imdb makes me a little dizzy. I think I'd be all over this if it weren't for Oprah being so prominently visible in almost all the marketing. It sorta makes this look like a TV movie for some reason. Nonetheless, I'll definitely rent it.

raven007 · 01-15-2014, 08:22 AM

After watching the bonus features on the blu ray I noticed there are 2 deleted scenes which I don't remember being in the film and are not in the deleted scenes section of the blu ray bonus features. How ever in the gag real the scenes are there. One is where Jackie Kennedy is standing next to the dinning room table talking. The other is when the butler is serving one of the presidents while he's talking to a black man on the White House patio. I will be re watching the movie to make sure that I simply just didn't noticed them. And if they are not in the movie then that means there are more deleted scenes that didn't make the deleted scenes section of the blu ray bonus features

From what I've read, the Mandela disc is not Target's exclusive.

There are people who feel this film is average. Get over it. I thought it was barely average.

I guess I answered my own question from looking on the Target website:

42 Minutes of Content - The Cast of Lee Daniels' The Butler from Oprah's Next Chapter on the Oprah Winfrey Network

JenSilvas79 · 01-15-2014, 05:29 PM

Wow..I feel the love in this thread

I'm saving my judgement since I just got it in from Netflix and haven't watched it yet. I just came to see what the general consensus was since the reviewer didn't seem that fond of this film.

I may dislike Daniels, but that's not why The Butler is mediocre. I explained that yesterday evening.

How come this and Oprah didn't get a Razzie nomination?

And the bonus feature for all editions are:

Lee Daniels' The Butler: An American Story
The Original Freedom Riders
"You And I Ain't Nothin' No More" Performed by Gladys Knight and Lenny Kravitz
Deleted Scenes
Gag Reel

Thanks for this. Got the answer I came here looking for. For the first time in quite a while, I'll be buying a new release from a brick-and-mortar. Consider it my impotent slap back at the Academy.

Well the Academy shut it out so....

Can somebody tell me how long the bonus disc from Walmart for "Mandela" is? I want to see if those special features are included on either the standard edition of Mandela or the Target Exclusive, or if I'll have to track down the Walmart disc. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I think you'll get faster/more replies if you post this in the Target and Walmart exclusives threads (if you haven't done so already).

Watched this very recently.
For some reason I expected to hate it but in the end I enjoyed it but that's not to say it's a great film because it isn't.
It's average to good at best.
I found Oprah a bit odd and distracting, the narrative all over the place - it felt like a 4 hour mini-series edited into a 'Movie Edition'

Forrest Whitaker was very good part from his voice was occasionally annoying - his ageing make-up was fantastic.

Glad I watched it but in the grand scheme of things it won't have a lasting impact.
