Junebug

Irritating little film about a snapshot of Southern life. There seem to be too many of them lately. Each with a hidden malevolent agenda against a culture that has generally descended into an amusing relic.

The story revolves around an art dealer who goes to North Carolina from Chicago to find reclusive, exclusive artists. It just happens to be near her husband's home as well. They end there for a few weeks and what follows is a series of non-events that do not surprise you. What does surprise you is the feisty attitude of Ashley, the husband's sister in law, who, actually is the only real reason to sit through this otherwise dull film.
