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. Worldly art dealer Madeleine (Davidtz) and her husband (Nivola) travel to North Carolina, where she hopes to woo a brilliant, but eccentric, folk painter. During this Southern journey, Madeline also meets her new in-laws; George's skeptical mother, Peg (Weston); his silent and withdrawn father, Eugene (Wilson) and his surly brother, Johnny (McKenzie). The only welcoming member of the family is Johnny's affectionate, enthusiastic, and extremely pregnant wife, Ashley (Adams). Struggling to balance church socials with delicate business negotiations, Madeleine finds that she must choose what matters to her most. Junebug is the powerful, funny gem that critics are hailing as "one of the best pictures of the year!" (Andrew Sarris, NEW YORK OBSERVER)
"A wise, bittersweet, beautifully acted comedy." -- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES
