Margot at the Wedding (2007)

Last night, my good friend DW invited me to see a sneak peak of the new film "Margot at the Wedding" with Jennifer Jason Leigh, Nicole Kidman and Jack Black. I was hoping for a great film as I have always loved Jennifer Jason Leigh and Nicole Kidman. I was curious how Jack Black would hold up against these two great actresses. This movie is the follow up film for Noah Baumbach.

Synopsis (wikipedia)
The film has been described as an intimate, character-driven, domestic comedy-drama. It stars Nicole Kidman and Baumbach's real-life wife Jennifer Jason Leigh as sisters named Margot and Pauline, and also features Jack Black, John Turturro and Ciarán Hinds. Kidman's character, Margot, is a successful but neurotic writer who brings her 11-year-old son (played by newcomer Zane Pais) to spend a weekend visiting her free-spirited sister Pauline (Leigh) on the eve of her wedding to Black's character. Margot disapproves of Pauline's choice of fiancé, which causes tension between the two sisters.

Thoughts:
Though there was strong actresses and acting I could not get into the plot. I was not very interested in these characters and people on the screen. As I walked out of the movie, I was thinking to myself, I am glad I did not pay to see this. I also overheard many others not being very enthused for this film either.

Out of a scale of 10 stars I give this film a 3. I would not recommend people to go pay to see this film at all.
