The Family Stone (2005)


An uptight, conservative, businesswoman accompanies her boyfriend to his eccentric and outgoing family's annual Christmas celebration and finds that she's a fish out of water in their free-spirited way of life.

Predictable family comedy-drama with all involved more or less overdoing their roles.

Maltin***: "Warmhearted comedy-drama...Starts simply, then reveals a succesion of layers that broaden and enrich the story. The cast couldn't be better."
