About all I got out of this movie, beside the knowledge I hate that OC guy and think he is a horrible bug eyed actor is: I should mop the floor or clean the garage, or anything to not sit here... Full review

'Junebug' stars off relatively oddly, what with its jump cuts in the art museum and the characters' awkward speech. It eventually builds up, but it's based on performances moreso than anything else. Amy Adams is absolutely terrific in this film. Every... Full review

This is one of the few films that I can honestly say I came within a hair's breadth of walking out of. It is full of infuriating, cliched stereotypes of Southerners that when done about any other group would have people... Full review

This movie is saved and its underdeveloped characters are forgiven because of Amy Adams performance. She plays someone who is good through and through with not one pretencious moment to be found in her character. You will root for her, that... Full review

The film's dramatic turn in the final act provides ballast, an entertaining drama filled with the human comedy - and no manufactured, schmaltzy ending.

An arthouse Meet The Parents, Junebug explores the same territory with greater subtlety and complexity - and more chuckles and quiet smiles, instead of big comedy routines.
Embeth Davidtz, her natural warmth shining through, lets her face work through the thoughts and emotions that assail her, and Benjamin McKenzie is terrific as the resentful little shit whose insecurities boil over.
