Margot Zeller is a short story writer with a sharp wit and an even sharper tongue. On the eve of her estranged sister Pauline's wedding to unemployed musician/artist/depressive Malcolm at the family seaside home, Margot shows up unexpectedly to rekindle the sisterly bond and offer her own brand of support. What ensues is a nakedly honest and subversively funny look at family dynamics.

One and half hours without a purpose
Ordinary people, sad people, handheld camera and dull colors... If I want all that I stay in the real world but when I go to movies I want something more and Margot at the Wedding just can’t offer me that. The movie offers a somewhat promising start, few laughs here and there, and some star power but that’s about it. The highlight of the movie is talented actors Nicole Kidman and Jack Black. They both do a decent job for the most part but unfortunately their charm is not enough to carry this film. The biggest flaw of the film is the nonexistent plot. At first there is a feeling that the movie is going somewhere but in the second half of the film the plot vanishes into thin air...go figure.
