Review of Junebug

Junebug (2005)
3/10
It could have been a great film, but was ruined by a sub plot
2 July 2008
Warning: Spoilers
This is an incredible dysfuncional family story that is simply ruined by the sub-plot of the country artist.

Everything he paints involves penises and scrotums in poor quality work that is supposed to be brilliant. I am not prude, but this turned what could have been a great movie into a piece of crap. It was impossible to look and see past this as we have it in the beginning and all through the story.

It does not tie in to anything, is not really symbolic of anything, and ruins what could have been another "Ordinary People."

Amy Adams (Enchanted) was brilliant in her role and deserved the Oscar nomination. The acting was mostly superb and the interaction was heart rending and heart felt.
