The Family Stone Ratings & Reviews
Newsweek
David Ansen
The Family Stone works hard to warm the cockles of our hearts. The cast is attractive. The sentiments are commendable. But the love Bezucha wants us to feel for the family couldn't possibly compete with the love they already feel for themselves.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
I can't deny the incidental pleasures of watching these talented players giving it their all, even in such a misguided project.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Like the character of Meredith, the film's bravado cannot mask a messy soul but should be given respect for showing up and sticking it out.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
There are just too many damn characters, with the best ones taking a backseat to the dullish love quadrangle.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Some will find it touching, some will be too weary of the plot contrivances and the smug Stone family to care.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A feel-bad holiday film about a repellent family, with a milquetoast dad and a smug, devious harpy of a mom.
USA Today
Mike Clark
This is one busy wannabe heart-tugger.
Slate
David Edelstein
There are cringe-worthy passages and an overly sentimental structure (everyone pairs up so very tidily), but the performances are delightful, and the picture comes together.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The Family Stone is a satisfying, big-hearted celebration of diversity that will brighten holiday moviegoing - - at least in the blue states.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
A machine-tooled entertainment that's as fake and flimsy as a plastic Christmas tree.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
It plays almost like Terms of Endearment crossed with the feel-good yule romance Love Actually.
Detroit News
Tom Long
What was supposed to be a jewel turns out to be a simple Christmas trinket.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Suddenly we're wiping away tears, glancing around to make sure no one noticed we had fallen for this steaming cup of melodrama.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
It's all fairly obvious and manipulative, though it manages to pander no more than average, and does contain a fair bit of wry humor and wit.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The movie is a holiday romantic comedy that wants to put the holiday romantic comedy out of business.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Family is a four-letter word in the literate and smartly acerbic Christmas comedic drama The Family Stone, a relationship smorgasbord of acting talent coming together to produce one of the most perceptive holiday features in years.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
This is a family, and a movie, where everyone talks at once -- and more often than you'd think, its characters actually come up with something worth saying.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
The movie's warmth is contagious. Too bad its humor isn't.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Hollywood is always making family comedies, but they are rarely about real families: relations who are as difficult as they are wonderful, people who both love and irritate the heck out of each other. Families like The Family Stone.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
A lump of coal brightened by four diamond-sharp performances.
