'The Family Stone' is another brilliant film I've watched a few hundred times full of tears & laugher from start to finish with an all star cast! :)

Story:
The Stone family are very close & meet up for Christmas every year - this time Everett Stone (Dermot Mulroney - 'The Wedding Date') is bringing along his new girlfriend Meredith Morton (Sarah Jessica Parker - 'Sex and the City'). Things don't quite go to plan when frosty & uptight Meredith isn't quite accepted by the Stone family & is particularly disliked by Everett's sister Amy (Rachel McAdams - 'Wedding Crashers'). Meredith calls on her sister Julie (Clare Danes - 'Romeo & Juliet') for support - Julie is nothing like Meredith & is instantly loved by all!!

Meredith storms off after a big family meal ends in disaster - Ben (Luke Wilson - 'Legally Blonde') follows Meredith, they end up in a bar catching up with Ben's school friends & get a little bit drunk.
Everett & Julie go out to find Meredith & Ben - they get to talking, it seems they have a lot in common & their feelings for each other become clear.

The following day everyone is re-united & a few shocking revelations are revealed. Amy & Ben both find love (Awwwww) - but in who?
Certainly worth a watch! :)

This film was released in 2005. Rating 12 - contains mild bad language, sex and drug references.
