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 fiancé 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, and after building a 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 (featuring some really nice work by Keaton, Nelson, Parker and Danes) 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

K.McBride (Louisiana)
Despite the bad reviews I have read about this movie, I took a chance and watched it and I am so glad that I did. I LOVE it. The cast is so perfect and Diane Keaton will steal your heart. Give it a chance! It is my absolute favorite movie now.

Arnita D. Brown (USA)
The Stones, a New England family, have their annual holiday gathering. The eldest son brings his girlfriend home to meet his parents, brothers and sisters. The bohemian Stones greet their visitor a high-powered, controlling New Yorker with a mix of awkwardness, confusion and hostility. Before the holiday is over, relationships will unravel while new ones are formed, secrets will be revealed, and the family Stone will come together through its extraordinary capacity for love. This movie has a stellar cast to match and compliment the family the director has created. An excellent movie.

One of the best movies made since the 80's about the holidays in my opinion. Even my 14 year old daughter loved it. This is a must own movie if your like us during the holidays. Put this in and you ready to wrap the gifts.
One of my FAV Christmas movies December 27, 2009
Mary (Lehi, UT)
I fell in love with this movie and it has now become one of my favorite Christmas movies. There is some language, but other than that, it is such a tender movie that reminds me just how really messed up but at the same time how tightly knit a family truly is.
Great holiday movie for our time. December 26, 2009
Guidoman (Wisconsin)
This is a great movie that looks at the luneyness and love in a modern family. A great December show to watch with those you share blood with or love!
