Watch it with family. So good!

A solid homecoming story that gets distracting with it's cliched take on southern U.S.A.

I never turn movies off and couldn't make it through this one. Amy Adams is good, everything else terrible.

When Chicago art gallery owner Madeleine (Embeth Davidtz) travels to North Carolina on a business trip accompanied by her husband George (Alessandro Nivola), she has the opportunity to meet his family, who reside in the area. And what a family it is – a controlling mother, a distant father, an angry younger brother, and a sister-in-law, Ashley (Amy Adams), impossible to describe. Junebug, an effectively quirky independent film, succeeds primarily on the strength of its characters, all of whom are clearly defined and unrelentingly interesting. It is a movie filled with quiet humor, heart-wrenching sorrow, and enough good vibes to make anyone appreciate the value of family, warts and all.

Great movie! In American cinema, dysfunctional families are rarely depicted so accurately.

A gem. Best movie i have seen in years. Numb through the credits

The best acting performance from Amy Adams!

Truly a beautiful movie that has stood the test of time. The very underrated Ben McKenzie who really should have had an Amy Adams sized career after this steals the show.

I don't know if this character study was just not for me, but this movie does nothing for me. It had some interesting scenes, semi-funny moments, but the overall family dynamics were not pleasurable to witness or insightful to characters being more than they initially presented. Maybe it's because I don't have family experiences divided by North/South mindsets, maybe because I don't come from the rustbelt, this highlighted joyless, spiteful family dynamics that never redeemed themselves in this small town depiction, making for a hard "one-time" watch.

good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of the script was hit or miss for me but Amy Adams made it fun and stole every scene. I expected great things for her after this and have not been disappointed.

Story/Screenplay: (3/5) It's difficult to like a plot line that visits tragedy and uncaring on the only truly good person in the story. Duration/Tempo: (3.5/5) At 1 hour and 46 minutes, it's an average length movie that feels about the same. Good pacing. Cast & Crew: (4/5) Amy Adams made this movie matter. Summary: (3.5/5) This film's story isn't bad, it's just not something I'd want to go out of my way to see more than once. However, the cast was solid and the movie didn't feel long. A thumbs up.

Simplistically quirky and reasonably limited from a realistic perspective when meeting a small, rural family, and the premise stops there without going little further for what it initially leads besides the filler art of psychological speculation in the delivered heft and Amy Adams being the main source of brightening satisfaction from watching something mostly somewhat uneventful.

Not exactly good, but not exactly bad

Def NOT a comedy, but a wonderfully told and filmed story.

If you grew up in a small southern town and left - you will understand this move!

Horrible, choppy, no flow, very little character development, slow moving, uninteresting dialogue and Amy Adams is horrible at acting pregnant.

i thought this was pretty good

I may not be sophisticated enough for Indy films because I always seem to find them lacking in plot development. I enjoy a good character study, but I did not see a lot of depth here. I think to adequately study a character something compelling has to happen and there has to be a purpose to the telling. This is as if someone turned on a camera in a family's life for a week and the turned it off 7 days later. There is no purpose to the story, the characters are not unique except for the fact that you have no idea why you are watching them. I found this on Netfix with no idea that it was a comedy. I am happy about that, because it wasnt the least bit funny. While watching I kept thinking something would pull the story together or there would be some purpose for shining a light on this family; i.e. the older brother slept with Amy Adams and it was his baby, which was why he stayed away and the reason for his brother's hatred; Amy Adams' character uses the lost screwdriver to extricate herself from her unhappy life, etc etc. But nothing really happens that would make this story worth the effort to watch. Maybe I just dont find people that interesting after all.

She is so beautiful.
