Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Mary Parrish Almost every aspect about this movie seemed quite absurd and drastically unrealistic in my point of view. Characters were extremely shallow and so most of the time I was just cringing for the poor girl who could not catch a break. Please don't waste your time with this movie like I did.

jayonceable At first I did not understand why the ratings much low. I was hoping to be romantic family film.However ... the most that bothered me in the film are mediocre attitude towards the future wife of a son / brother. Another thing that upset me and ruined me a feeling of Christmas and New Year's magic is the connection between Everett and Julie. Like ... what that ???? From this movie one may conclude Meredith loved Everett. She would not trying so hard in this desperate family if she didn't love him. One thing I can say I hate this movie,this movie left me feeling of disgust.

Python Hyena The Family Stone (2005): Dir: Thomas G. Bezucha / Cast: Sarah Jessica Parker, Dermot Mulroney, Diane Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Luke Wilson: Pitiful rehash of Meet the Parents regards how individuality holds a family strong although that doesn't help the film any. Dermot Mulroney is bringing his uptight girlfriend home for Christmas but nobody likes her because she's a bitch. Formula sitcom setting with director Thomas G. Bezucha doing his best to make this as realistic as possible. Sarah Jessica Parker is laughably being applauded for this lousy performance where we don't even like her even when we're suppose to like her. Parker can be a wonderful screen presence but there are moments here that are nearly painful to watch due to actions put forth. Mulroney is no help either because he plays a tight-ass with no personality. Diane Keaton is memorable as the mother with an illness that she wants to conceal until after the holidays. Rachel McAdams steals her scenes as Mulroney's sister who tries to make Parker's stay as miserable as possible. Luke Wilson plays a stoner in the family but chances are he is just reacting to the bad script. Theme regards acceptance and family bonding but the only bonding I witnessed is the togetherness of an audience that hurried to exit the theatre and mourn the loss of the ten bucks that they spent to see this crap. Score: 4 / 10

chrisblossom09 The thread that suggests that the family hated Meredith states a good point. Everett's left brain is saying "This girl is a bad match; she is trouble". The fact that another thread that suggests Everett is boring may point to his lack of game but that is irrelevant. The left and right brains could not agree about her. When ellysway stated that Everett did not love her, be that as it may, the best reply is that it is exactly the way Meredith feels about him. If that is true, at least they are emotionally on the same page. Regardless, Sybil's real concern was that Everett would be miserable and if they did marry, it would end badly. She would always put her career first. By putting her own needs before Everett, he will always be second fiddle and will grow to resent that. He would feel neglected. Therefore, it was better to end things sooner rather than later when it would be messier. Everett needed to see clearly that there cannot be a future with Meredith.
