Forest Whitaker delivers a powerful performance as Cecil Gaines, who served as the White House butler under eight presidents. His three decades of service unfold against a backdrop of unparalleled change in civil rights and American history. The black cast gives superb performances. The eight presidents (except for Robin Williams) and their first ladies, not so much. I am giving a prize to the person that can identify which parts Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave played. Half way into the movie, I was ready to leave and join the 50th Anniversary of the March on DC which was taking place at the same time. But I stayed and enjoyed the movie. I give it an eight. It stars Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, John Cusack, Jane Fonda, Cuba Gooding Jr, Terrance Howard, Robin Williams and Vanessa Redgrave. This only a selection of the stars.
