When George (Alessandro Nivola), a Southern transplant to Chicago, brings Madeleine (Embeth Davidtz), his Japanese-born, British-accented new bride, back to his family's North Carolina home for a visit, you'd expect something of a culture clash. What you might not expect is a story that turns gradually from the hilarious to the profoundly moving. At the center of first-time director Phil Morrison's wonderful little fish-out-of-water tale is not Madeleine, but her pregnant sister-in-law, Ashley (Amy Adams), whose humor, simple wisdom and ability to be comfortable in her own skin are the family's -- and the film's -- heart and soul. Contains obscenity and sexual content.
