Margot at the Wedding Synopsis & Movie Info

Margot Zeller (Academy Award® winner Nicole Kidman), a savagely bright, razor-tongued short-story writer who creates chaos wherever she lights, sets off on a surprise journey to the wedding of her estranged and free-spirited, easy-going sister Pauline (Golden Globe® nominee Jennifer Jason Leigh).

Margot arrives -- her all-too-rapidly maturing son Claude (newcomer Zane Pais) in tow -- with the gale force of a hurricane. From the minute she meets Pauline's fiancé -- the unemployed artist Malcolm (Jack Black) -- Margot starts to plant seeds of doubt about the union.

As the wedding approaches, one complication crashes into the next – vengeful neighbors, a beloved tree in the backyard, and Margot's own marital turmoil. The two sisters find themselves at the precipice of an unexpected transformation ultimately revealing that even when your family is about to implode… the one thing you can cling to for solace and comfort is your imploding family. -
