Editorial Review: Sony: Rising stars Amy Adams and Ben McKenzie light up the screen in this award-winning comedy about love, family, ambition, and the choices that come with each. When worldly art dealer Madeleine (Embeth Davidtz) meets her new Southern in-laws, she finds herself questioning the things she values most inthis powerful and funny hit that critics call "one of the best pictures of the year!" (Andrew Sarris, The New York Observer) Amazon.com: Junebug spotlights some big fat culture clashes--small town vs. city ways, art-world bohemian vs. church-going folk--yet social commentary never overwhelms a delightful, emotionally rich portrait of family life. When Madeleine (Embeth Davidtz, Schindler's List), a chic art gallery owner from Chicago, meets with an outsider artist in North Carolina she's eager to represent, she and her new husband George (Alessandro Nivola, Laurel Canyon) take a side trip to visit George's family. The visit sends everyone spinning: George's mother (Celia Weston, The Village) doubts the suitability of the marriage; his brother Johnny (Ben McKenzie, The O. C.) quietly seethes at being overshadowed again by his older sibling; and Johnny's very pregnant wife Ashley (Amy Adams, Catch Me If You Can) fixates on Madeleine, seeking in her a companionship that she can't find in her normal life. Junebug's unexpected rhythms slowly and subtly tease out the past; few movies are as eloquent about the mysteries of family--the hidden rules and resentments, the shifting alliances, the emotional pushes and pulls. Adams' justly praised performance lights up every scene she's in, flowing from comic to heartrending without missing a beat, but the rest of the cast delivers complex and mesmerizing character portraits as well. Junebug will resonate with you long after it's over. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Culture clashInteresting small film that spotlights what happens when big city meets country, sophisticated meets bumpkin etc. The married couple don't really appear to go together, but that doesn't wreck the film. Some nice touches, such as the relationship between the sister and the British art dealer wife, make this worth watching. Rating:  - Love itThis movie is wonderful. It really left me thinking for days, and it wasn't long before I watched it again. Rating: - Indispensable ViewingThe portrayal of the "outsider artist" is in and of its self worth the price of admission. Every character in this film is spot on. The overall effect is sublime absurdity. Rating:  - Like a Root Canal For Your EyesIf you are like most normal Americans, you probably find invasive dental procedures, such as a root canal, to be profoundly unpleasant. If, however, you are the type who, given the choice, would actually pay for the pleasure of sitting through a root canal, I believe I have a movie I can recommend to you. I can't help but feel like the fact that this movie was made in my hometown in suburban North Carolina obligates me to say glowing things about it. Sadly, that is something I cannot ...

It is one of those tender and compassionate films that grow on you the more you embrace it, and I've seen this film a good ten times now and it continues to swell my heart. `Junebug' tells the story of Madeleine and George, a newly married couple who spawn from two different backgrounds that discover themselves while visiting George's family in North Carolina.
