Junebug

Junebug for which Amy Adams (my newest favorite actress) rightly earned a best supporting actress nod is a pretty good movie. A Southern boy goes back with his new wife to his North Carolina home, leading to a culture clash for his urbane wife. Adams plays his deceptively simple minded sister-in-law. Great line: "God loves you the way you are, but too much to want you to stay that way." Quite useful, including to apply to love of country. The movie has a surprisingly raw sexual component that is but one of many good things about the whole thing. Adams is on the commentary track.
