Junebug movie review

June 6, 2010 - #25/100
Junebug (2005)

Madeline, from Chicago, is an art gallery owner. Her husband George was originally from North Carolina. An opportunity arises in North Carolina where Madeline could potentially close a deal with a reclusive artist. Therefore, since they will already be in the area, George decides to introduce his wife to his family. Each of the family members all contain different personalities. The two personalities that stuck out the most would be Johnny, George's brother, and Ashley (Amy Adams), Johnny's pregnant wife. Johnny was a cranky person while Ashley was the exact opposite. She was thrilled whenever Madeline arrived, and her up-beat personality lasted throughout most of the movie. Personally, I thought that Amy Adams was perfect for the role of Ashley. Amy always seems to have a bubbly personality. I thought that this movie was pretty good. Amy wasn't the only person who shined in this movie. I actually thought that all of the acting was pretty good. It was different from any other movie that I've ever seen, but sometimes I felt like the movie dragged in a few places. Even though it could have dragged a bit, it still managed to keep my attention. I've always been a fan of movies that are slightly odd and random. It may not be the greatest movie ever, and it may be completely random at times, but at least it's not cliche.

I gave this movie 7/10 stars on imdb.com.
