Sounds like another zombie movie to me.
No way I'll see this backward cracker stereotype-fest!
I thought at first this might be a movie worth seeing, but if this is going to be another white guilt festival, forget it. I’ve had enough of being told that the problems in the black community today are my fault.
Mr. Daniels, ... you’re an idiot.
Hanoi Jane’s in it. That’s enough reason for me to avoid this “opus”.
bwahahahahaha!
I’m confused.
Do you want people to watch your film because blacks are curiousities or because of the quality of their work?
You stocked your film with white people so black actors would stand a chance? What kind of atavistic, title 7 reasoning is informed by such immoral thinking?
I go see Denzeln Washington movies because I like his acting. Even saw that crappy train wreck movie.
I’d have Wesley Snipe movies but, he’s been a little boxed in lately.
Still, there are Cuba Gooding movies. Can’t think of my favorite but, the one about the navy diver and snow dogs. I think I’ve seen just about everything he’s been and became a fan after Boys in the Hood. I was even touched by “Radio”.
I was going to see this movie but, since you are so obliged to inject racism into your PR campaign then you shouldn’t be surprised how quickly it goes to DVD and BET?
You have basically made a “for blacks” movie with that stupid commentary and I won’t watch it for that reason alone.
I’m tired of hearing about black this and black that. Hell, I’m tired of Oprah faking racism far away from a country where a poor clerk won’t be given much voice to deny the accusation.
She just gets to accuse, malign, pass judgement and sentence while never giving the accused a fair shake at defending themselves.
I am a white woman living in rural Missouri, and when I saw Forest whittaker, Cuba Holding Jr, and Denzel in a movie, I thought I would enjoy it. However, it is the white actors (Williams and Ronda) that are going to make me pass on this film.
Curiously, the facebook page for the film states that Ronald Reagan’s religion was Disciples of Chris. Yes, that’s right. Chris. And to set the record straight, President Reagan was a Presbyterian. His mother was a member of the Disciples of Christ.
i don’t like to see any movies made by liberal directors. makes no diff who’s in the film.
A reconstituted “kill whitey” movie..
racist guy issues racist statements against the race he hates
how... unexpected
and yes, we won’t be seeing your movie either... regardless of your hype, it’ll still flop
This film will not do well at the box offfice. It will however make money!!! It only cost 25 million dollars to produce, but overall attendance will not be pretty!!! Oprah, with her racist rants has hurt the fiim from the starting gate.........and rightfully so!!! She is in a panic over the failing POTUS Obama that does not bode well for the future of African Americans!!!
She now officially joins the bigot/Black racist, hustler group of the NAACP, The CBC, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Barack Hussein Obama, etc. Sad.....for Oprah......sad for America!!! Most of all...sad for Americn Black folk!!! The Obama created suffering of broken families, high unemployment, lack of meaningful opportunities, continues and grows unabated in Black American communities across the entire country!!!
Damn Hollywood. This is typical.
I read “Monument Men” a few years back, and thought it was a good book, serious and very interesting.
I heard they were making a movie out of it, so I watched the trailer and nearly barfed.
Matt Damon. George Clooney. Kate Blanchett. Bob Balaban.
If that wasn’t bad enough, it looks like they took a good book and made it into a WWII version of “The Italian Job” with a focus on witty and funny dialogue. And, they show in the trailer, a short montage of an American GI with a flamethrower burning books and paintings.
Yeah. A-holes. I hate all of those pieces of crap. Seeing George Clooney wearing aviator glasses and trying to look like a military man is enough to make me barf.
When I learned the director offered Obama a cameo role, I knew what this film was all about. And sure enough, another White-guilt, woe-is-me Black film. They can never move on. There is now too much leverage to lose through forgiveness and healing. It is in Black and Liberal’s best interest to continue to re-infect the scab of racism of generations long past.
There is simply too much at stake politically and financially to let racism go. Oprah wouldn’t have made her billions, Liberals wouldn’t so easily access political power, Obama might not be president, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton wouldn’t have anything to exploit. No, there is simply too much at stake.
The Butler had to be made to continue the extortion racket. Not a chance I will contribute my money to this.
This sounds like an excellent movie to miss.
“...What Lee Daniels sounds like to me — other than someone with bigoted misconceptions about people based solely on their skin color — is a director already making excuses for a box-office flop....”

I’m catching the smells of a MEGA-flop.
So then white people are all racist unless they waste their time seeing his newest racist propaganda project.
Now Oprah says sorry: Chat show queen says she regrets ever mentioning the racist handbag incident and insists it got blown up after Swiss sales assistant brands her a liar
This on top of the dismissal of the racial discrimination claim against Paula Deen is stunning. They just delight in destroying people with phony accusations — whether its neighborhood watch volunteers, or famous chefs, or a lowly shop clerks just trying to make a living.
It’s long past time to put an end to this nonsense.
Does Oprah play any other role besides a fat, black lady? She’s so one dimensional.
