Went to see this film yesterday and felt it was one of the best, most touching film I've seen in a long time. If your planing to go, be warned and take plenty of tissues with you.

The thing that struck me most about the film was, like the butler I had lived through all of those changes in the last 50 years!

Mr Iam went to see the Butler whilst I was away this weekend (hmmm). He said it was a real weepy, he loved it, and like you Barbs, talked about the way it spans our adult lives.

I can't wait to see it, I hope it's still on next week.

Saw it last week - loved it - very moving. sad Oprah was brilliant. I didn't realise she was an actress!

Yes, I remember her in The Color Purple.
