Review of Margot at the Wedding (2007) by Rachel Y — 23 Jul 2012
More a series of scenes than a really complete-feeling movie, this one would have been one of the most depressing movie's I've ever seen had it not been for Jack Black's presence. I may just be biased, but his comic talent, even as subtle as it was in this, was just enough to take the edge of Nicole Kidman's harsh performance. Not that her performance was bad, it was actually really good, it was just good at being angry, bitter, and manipulative, to the point where I almost found her irredeemable.
This movie is definitely an acquired taste. If you liked "The Squid & The Whale," I think you'll definitely be in to this one. Otherwise? Do you enjoy watching Jack Black cry?
