Review of The Family Stone (2005) by Cuculizao. — 12 Feb 2006

I was expecting this movie for a long time. I mean, look at the cast, there's DIANE KEATON for god sakes!. Anyway, I was really dissapointed, and here's why: the movie tries too hard, and I mean TOO HARD to be a charming holiday movie, but it doesn't succeed at all.

You're like, watchign this very funny scene and 30 seconds later one of the characters is making a devastating announce. Thomas Bezucha wants you to laugh (in which he succeeds) and cry (he doesn't), the screenplay is what's wrong here.

The actign is ok, I was expectign more, specially from Keaton but you can't expect ore from such a bad script, so the cast does just fine (though SJP is really great). It was entertaining but when it ends you feel like they have cheated on you.
