Synopsis

Margot at the Wedding, writer/director Noah Baumbach's follow-up to his Oscar-nominated The Squid and the Whale, stars Nicole Kidman as Margot, a woman who travels with her son to the wedding of her sister (Jennifer Jason Leigh). The relationship between the two siblings has never been harmonious, a situation that is exacerbated when Margot discovers she cares very little for her sister's fiancé (Jack Black). Soon the high-strung Margot escalates a feud between her sister and the neighbors, and family secrets come to light, forcing everyone to rethink their various feelings toward each other. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

If you like the Squid and the Whale you will find this movie to be similiar. I personally didn't enjoy the movie and was glad it was over. The emotions or conflicts didnt seem real or even normal. It seems like "someone"(director, actors, screenwriters) tried to do or say something here and just didnt. I hated every character except the dog.
