Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

cmc2392 First of Sarah Jessica Parker who play Family Stone generally dislike by Stones. Dermot Mulroney ugh was at star of Shameless boring play Sean seriously. Ok He play seriously cold brother married Sarah Jessica parker play wife.

alma_halliwell I watched it twice. First time I don't quite remember and I think it did not leave any special impression on me. However the second time I could have liked it but I just cannot go over the idea that brothers 'switched' girlfriends. It is so sick. In the beginning I sympathized with Parker's character. I thought his brother was just being nice towards her and their night out at the bar was just an innocent attempt to relax her and take a bit of burden off of her back. However what was happening simultaneously with Everrett and Julie didn't make sense at all. I am very into romantic movies and I mostly like movies that people give bad ratings. But this one I must agree with majority. First of all I don't get it why they liked each other. That was apparently firs time for them to meet so it makes so little sense they fell immediately. On top of that Julie came as a support for her sister and she clearly stole her boyfriend. Basically sick and wrong. The reason I gave it 6 stars is the family gathering and holiday spirit. All in all I wouldn't recommend it since there are much better romantic movies.

TonyKissCastillo ***** This Review May Contain MINOR Spoilers! ***** The Previews of The Family Stone seemed to hold out the promise of a genuinely light and thoroughly amusing comedy, perhaps a bit over-the-top, but focused on the cultural differences between a very liberal family, (giving the impression that the parents were, perhaps, "Hippies" back in the 60's) and a super-conservative and tightly wound woman, engaged to one of their sons.The problem is that the film showcased in the theatrical trailer plus the marketing campaign launched to promote it, vs. the actual movie you see in the theater have absolutely nothing in common! Unfortunately, previews sole raison d'etre apparently is to get people into the theater. It doesn't seem to matter in the least to these people if the expectation generated by the short is totally out of sync with the experience given by the film.Thusly, it is easy to understand the plethora of reviewers who were livid with these bait and switch tactics! At its core, Family Stone is much more of a serious film that attempts to underscore the importance of cohesive family life, and how family unity can overcome obstacles that initially seem insurmountable, such as sharing and then getting over the pain of the loss of one of their own.The cast is remarkable. Sarah Jessica Parker, Luke Wilson, Dermot Mulroney, Claire Danes, Diane Keaton, Rachel McAdams and Craig T. Nelson. Almost all of them renowned actors, who conform a superb ensemble cast. If you enjoy family dramas with a healthy dose of comic relief, Family Stone is far and away better than most films of its kind… 8*STARS....ENJOY/DISFRUTELA! Any comments, questions or observations, in English o en Español, are most welcome!

tfrielin Everything you need to know about this movie in particular, and the Liberal mindset in general, is contained in that scene at the dinner table where the Sara Jessica Parker character opines about Gays or something in a mildly politically incorrect way and the Craig Nelson character slams his palm down on the dinner table and basically yells at her to "get out of my house".Such is the closed mindedness of the Liberals and the true meaning of their concept of "Diversity". Diversity to them means the opposite of the actual meaning of the word---you have to toe the line on their closed-minded construct of "Diversity" and if you wander off the reservation (as in this scene) you are kicked out of the herd. Spend Christmas with this bunch? No, I don't think so...
