Love, Comedy and a dash of tragedy

Ozzie and I watched the Family Stone at Gateway after going to the ecopark.

The movie is about a guy named Everett (Dermot Mulroney) who brings home his girlfriend Meredith (Sarah Jessica Parker) to meet his family. The family members have such distinct personalities, but they have one thing in common: they don't like the girlfriend. The girlfriend is devastated, so she asks her sister to join her. The next scenes... are highly predictable.

The movie is forseeable, but somehow still enjoyable. It has mixed reviews, some like it, but some hate it.

There were *scratch head* moments, but are forgivable.

The trailers are misleading, as they depict that the movie is just another Christmas comedy movie. Somehow it's also a bit heart-warming with a touch of that Christmassy feel.

*the tragedy part is a spoiler. Oh, wait. I forgot... the movie is entirely predictable. The mom has cancer.
