Margot at the Wedding

Jim & I saw this movie last night and very early this morning. We fell asleep half way thru it last night, so we watched the rest very early this morning.

To me the movie was ok, a little bit boring actually. Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jack Black & John Turtorro starred in it. Kidman & Leigh played sisters in the movie. Kidman was Margot, a writer/author whose marriage to Turtorro is in trouble. So, to think things over, she and her son (who looks very much like a girl to me) went back to her parents house (now owned by Leigh) for Pauline's (Leigh) wedding. Jack Black was Leigh's musician fiance. Margot doesn't approve of Pauline's fiance since he's an unsuccessful musician, so she tries to put doubts in Pauline's about their relationship.

The movie isn't really about a wedding but more of a sister/sibling relationship. I think the movie would be better if that don't jump all over the place and move up the pace a little bit. So, if you are looking for a family drama, this is the movie for you but if you are looking for action or comedy...skip it. You won't find it here.
