Summary

A comedy about love, family, ambition, and the choices that come with each. Worldly gallery owner Madeleine (Embeth Davidtz) and her husband, George (Alessandro Nivola), travel to North Carolina, where she hopes to woo a brilliant, but eccentric, folk painter. During this Southern journey, Madeleine also meets her new in-laws: George's skeptical mother, Peg (Celia Weston); his silent and withdrawn father, Eugene (Scott Wilson); and his surly brother, Johnny (Benjamin McKenzie). The only welcoming member of the family is Johnny's affectionate, enthusiastic, and extremely pregnant wife, Ashley (Amy Adams). Struggling to balance church socials with delicate business negotiations, Madeleine find 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!"
