DVD Review: Margot at the Wedding - Page 2

Consider watching a dramatic version of Running with Scissors where Annette Bening's unstable mother character is the lead and her son is supporting. That's what it's like watching Margot at the Wedding. It lacks honesty. It lacks humor. It lacks entertainment value and artistic integrity. It lacks most anything that should make a film worth watching. In fact, if you think your family is screwed up, you may still have a better time with them than you would have watching Margot at the Wedding.

DVD Features:

"A Conversation With Noah Baumbach and Jennifer Jason Leigh"

Margot at the Wedding, written and directed by Noah Baumbach and starring Nicole Kidman, Jack Black and Jennifer Jason Leigh, is available on DVD Tuesday, February 19, 2008.

    Daniel, to say that the brilliance of Margot at the Wedding and the genius of Kidman's performance went over your head is an understatement. Enough said.
