The Family Stone
The
Family Stone reminds me a bit of Meet the Parents,
but in reverse. Instead of having a guy meet the very conservative parents
of an over-protected daughter, we now encounter a son who must introduce
his fiancé to his slightly chaotic family. Forget the parents, look
out for the siblings.
The Family Stone
A man [Dermot Mulroney] brings his ice-queen girlfriend
[Sarah Jessica Parker] home for Christmas to meet his eccentric family.
Overwhelmed by the hostile reception, the girlfriend begs her sister to
join her for emotional support, only to trigger more problems.
Though I didn't think I would be entirely game for a film that features
both Mulroney and Parker, The Family Stone definitely has its perks.
For one, check out the official movie poster for the film [found at MovieGoods].
Any film willing to market in this form definitely gets a couple of bonus
kudos. Now, add the fact that the trailer for the film does look pretty
interesting and features some great, or should I say classic, background
music, and this film could just be the next Meet the Parents.
For a couple more bonus kudos, the film also features Diane Keaton, Claire
Danes, Craig T. Nelson, Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams.
