The Family Stone (2005)

Synopsis: A woman spends Christmas with her boyfriend's family, but she doesn't get along too well with them.
Appraisal: A nearly perfect first act that sadly goes mostly downhill from there, at its worst resorting to bad slapstick to make up for its lack of inspiration; it also gets progressively more dramatic (and romantic) towards the end, but it fails to fully convince as such.
Rating: 59
