Butter sculpting: the movie

Fans of the Minnesota State Fair's annual butter sculpting attraction will have to check out "Butter."

December 6, 2010 at 10:44PM

The movie we're most looking forward to in 2011? "Butter," a satire about a high-stakes butter sculpting contest, set in the Midwest -- alas, not the Minnesota State Fair -- starring Jennifer Garner, Hugh Jackman, Alicia Silverstone and Ty Burrell.

"Who knows about the world of butter carving," Garner told "Entertainment Tonight." "And yet, If you live in the middle of the country, you know that it's a real draw at the state fairs, and there's a real art to it."

The bad news? The film is not being released until state fair time: September 2011.
