Junebug

Madeleine (Embeth Davidtz) comes to her family as an infusion of unapologetic big-city swagger--a sophisticated gallery owner from Chicago who becomes the new wife of George (Alessandro Nivola). On a road trip to close a deal with a reclusive North Carolina artist, George finally resolves to introduce Madeleine to his family: prickly mother Peg (Celia Weston); taciturn father Eugene (Scott Wilson); cranky brother Johnny (Ben McKenzie), who has always suffered in the shadow of golden boy George; and Johnny's very pregnant, childlike wife Ashley (Amy Adams), who is instantly awestruck by her Yankee sister-in-law.
