HOLIDAY MOVIE COUNTDOWN! #11

#11. The Family Stone (2005)

In this holiday movie, Everett Stone (Dermot Mulroney) brings his prim and proper girlfriend Meredith (Sarah Jessica Parker) home to meet his over-the-top, outlandish family.

What I find most engaging about this film are the relationships between the family members. This movie is a refreshing look at the relatable ups and downs that families go through. Although they may have their differences, the love they share for one another provides the curative elixir to heal the wounds that surface in every day life.
