Product Description:
Margot Zeller (Nicole Kidman) is a short story writer with a sharp wit and an even sharper tongue. On the eve of her estranged sister Pauline s (Jennifer Jason Leigh) wedding to unemployed musician/artist/depressive Malcolm (Jack Black) at the family seaside home Margot shows up unexpectedly to rekindle the sisterly bond and offer her own brand of support. What ensues is a nakedly honest and subversively funny look at family dynamics.System Requirements:Running Time: 92 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/FAMILY GATHERINGS Rating: R UPC: 097363479741 Manufacturer No: 347974
Amazon.com:
The porcelain beauty of Nicole Kidman provides the perfect face for narcissism in Margot at the Wedding, writer/director Noah Baumbach's follow-up to his justly praised The Squid and the Whale. When Margot (Kidman) comes to attend the wedding of her sister Pauline (Jennifer Jason Leigh) with her son Claude (Zane Pais, making his film debut), it seems as if a family rift is being mended--but soon Margot and Pauline, despite their best efforts, revert to their most dysfunctional selves. It doesn't help that Pauline's fiance (Jack Black) is woefully depressed, Margot's lover (Ciaran Hinds, Rome) is as narcissistic as she is, and Margot's estranged husband (John Turturro) can't recognize how Margot cringes at his every effort at reconciliation. Margot at the Wedding may sound like a festival of neurosis, and it is--but the deft and subtle script, fully-lived-in performances, and empathic direction create moments so vivid you can't help but be drawn into the characters' ragged lives. At the movie's center is a mother-son relationship both loving and poisonous, portrayed with stark clarity. Kidman is the mirror image of Jeff Daniels as the arrogant father in The Squid and the Whale; she pulls her child down with her as she sinks in self-absorption. Pais, with a simple but heartbreaking performance, gives the brittle movie a sympathetic core. --Bret Fetzer

Just pure torture to watch! I had to shut it off because I refused to waste any more time on it. The previews made this movie look so good, and I think that is what made actually watching it sting so bad. You expect something funny and poignant, deep but not heavy-handed and you end up with a bunch of mush that makes no sense and makes you feel terrible while watching.
I don't mind movies that make me uncomfortable at times, but please have some sort of point for the discomfort!

The Bottom Line:
Nicole Kidman is quite good in the lead and the movie never bores, but it wanders a lot without ever reaching a real conclusion and doesn't really seem to be about anything aside from quirky characters going through the motions; I doubt Margot at the Wedding will bore you but I doubt just as much that it will wow you.
2.5/4

I didn't think there was any major problems with Margot at the Wedding to be totally honest. The storyline was decent enough to keep you interested, the characters were all in VERY fine form, and heck, even the presence of Jack Black couldn't ruin this one, haha (he played a crybaby that had emotional problems as his character, which was somewhat funny).
The two female leading characters would constantly argue back and forth over whether the one woman should get married or not.

Painfully accurate portrayal of family life? Well, painful, in any case. This is typical of a new "genre" of film, a systematic attempt to portray a segment of society as an unbelievably crippled generation. If these people exist somewhere, god help us; I don't think even the most pathetic, disturbed creatures among us sink to these puerile lows. I feel as if these movies are written in some sort of code: nonsensical, adolescent, perpetually disturbed, put-upon and put out. Truly a case in which, ... Read More

The first half of 'Margot At The Wedding is very promising, but it's one of the longest 90 minutes I have spent watching a film. Even though the actors do a fine job, the characters never evolve. We get to know who we're dealing with right away and that is it! I grew to care less about the characters as the film progressed. This is never a good thing and it really hurts this film. It's OK, but it loses steam half way through. Watch it on cable.
