Review of The Family Stone (2005) by Davids. — 01 Jan 2006
Family Stone is a little over the top situationally, but it tells a story as true or truer than most stories at a family gathering. The performances are uniformly strong - Rachel McAdams notches another appealing character, Diane Keaton makes mincemeat of other actors of her vintage, Craig T.
Nelson is more nuanced than usual, Luke Wilson continues to make it a real race for which brother is the better onscreen presence. The script is excellent and the dialogue well presented.
