What a disappointment

This film should have been excellent! The cast is amazing and the plot not completely unworkable but yet this film lack any drive or direction. I had hope better for SJPs first big film role after Sex and the City but alas I'm holding out for the next one...

this surprised me

It was a better movie than I thought. This looked like a basic love-story-drama, but it ended up being more. Sure, it wasn't excellent, but it was better than just average.

Feels far too calculated for its own good

"We will try to welcome her back in, like a civilized family might."

It's difficult to pinpoint all of the reasons why The Family Stone is such a disenchanting flick.

" DVD- 1hr. 44min. First Viewing The Family Stone is an okay holiday movie that seems to go out of it's way to make it's characters as unlikable as possible, and make things as depressing and shrill as possible. Like most Christmas movies, I'm willing to overlook a lot of flaws if the film can, marginally, get me in the holiday spirit and this does, barely. There are enough funny moments and strong acting to make the movie mildly entertaining, but so many of them are undercut with a cringe-factor"
