Review of The Family Stone (2005) by Stum — 08 Jan 2006
Not even good actors can save this cliched, colour by numbers film. The story has Sarah Jessica Parker playing an annoying Christmas house guest, meeting her in-laws for the first time and saying as many inappropriate things as possible to as many characters who will listen - the matriarch, the grumpy sister, the deaf gay brother (why deaf?) and his multi-racial "modern" family.
How this most improbable plot was conceived is amazing. Surely this could never happen in a day and everyone still love each other at the end. Avoid.
