Product Description

For anyone who views holiday gatherings with equal parts joy and dread, The Family Stone offers plenty of comedy to identify with. Writer-director Thomas Bezucha's slapstick premise begins when Everett (Dermot Mulroney) brings his fiancée Meredith (Sarah Jessica Parker) home to meet his family for Christmas. It's an instant disaster when parents Sybil (Diane Keaton) and Kelly (Craig T. Nelson) agree with their gay, deaf son Thad (Ty Giordano, who is actually hearing impaired), pot-smoking son Ben (Luke Wilson), and daughters Amy (Rachel McAdams) and Susannah (Elizabeth Reaser) that Meredith is way too uptight to be welcomed into their family. Meredith recruits her sister Julie (Claire Danes) to help her thaw the Stone family cold front. After building this solid emotional foundation for his holiday comedy, Bezucha starts to stack the deck with plot developments that, while heartwarming, border on the absurd. You either go with the movie's flow or you don't, and with this appealing cast it's easy to forgive Bezucha's unlikely blend of yuletide cheer, petty animosities, and romantic tables turned in the blink of an eye. Toss in a case of terminal illness and you've got a sad-happy tearjerker that works in spite of itself. If you don't recognize at least part of your own holiday clan in The Family Stone, you probably haven't been paying attention. --Jeff Shannon

Great Movie. Whether it's Christmas or not!,
This review is from: The Family Stone (Widescreen) (DVD)
Thie review it for Fox Video 2006 Widescreen DVD release of The Family Stone.
Quailty of the dvd is flawless as you'd expect. The underlying themes of the movie surpass the obvious and typical christmas themes. The sub plots and nuances in the movie make it enjoyable, honest, and funny. They make it about a real family with realy problems. Real issues. They layer the movie with moments of laughter along with the inherent sadness of the plot. You know and see that it's a family that's been through a lot. That love each other and want to try to protect each other. When Dermot Mulroney brings Sarah Jessica Parker to his family, chaos errupts. A great film for the holidays. And a great film even when it isn't christmas. It's worth the watch.
