And here's The Family Stone. Directed by Thomas Bezucha, this movie has a romantic story line that wasn't totally my favorite, but the family aspects of the drama were, in my opinion, outstanding. It does a great job of portraying the chaos and drama inherent in a family holiday, and all of the actors are pretty great.
Sybil's part of the story is a real tearjerker, especially the scene with "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", which just so happens to be my favorite holiday song. I recently lost my grandfather whose birthday was December 25th, so this hit a little close to home, but perhaps in a cathartic way.
Overall, a pretty great movie.
7/10
