The Family Stone

[Piemam]

Anyone else seen this, advertised as a Christmas film? I followed it right to the very end, then was like "What the fuck was that?". It's been raved about, but I can't see why at all. Yes, a couple of actresses (Keaton, Danes) are good, but really, that's it.

Anyone else share this view or have famous movies to discuss?

I love it! It's completely bonkers and straight up looney tunes with how the brothers basically swap sisters. Everyone's mean to Meredith. But Meredith is insufferable.

You just have to take it for what it is, expect not a modicum of sense, and enjoy the gorgeous house in the snow.

I'm someone who hates it. All the characters are unlikeable and you can't even cheer for the love stories as they are uncomfortable. No chance either of those couples lasted past Easter.

My favourite. Watch every year. I own it 🤫

She wasn’t being authentic and it was rubbing everyone up the wrong way. I thought they were a bunch of assholes until the dinner scene and her comments about the gay brother… Jesus. By the end she lost her shit and they all liked her. Dermot was an ass though. Heard her crash outside and just left her! Didn’t think much of her sister either to be honest.
