Jeff, I deleted the first post in this thread so you can edit the title now. I can't keep up with you.

Sorry but I had big problems with your review - and that was just from the first paragraph. I did notice some other thing that I didn't like later on but I will just start here.

****************************

’Family Stone’ an Awkward, Heartwarming Film

When it comes to holiday films, there are a few things that everyone expects to see in them. Generally these include such mainstays of the genre as Santa Clause, holiday cheer, family love and a happy ending. Unfortunately, all of these are missing from the latest entry into the genre, The Family Stone. That is not to say the film is not good, as it is certainly a delightful, albeit awkward, film.

***************************

- didn't think it was awkward.
- big deal that the movie didn't have Santa Claus > totally not needed > and this was covered with the gift giving ( the mother's picture anyway )
- felt the movie had holiday cheer
- movie definitely had family love > and isn't this covered by the word heartwarming above ?
- felt the movie had a happy ending > yes the mother passed away but the whole family was together, connected by the mother's picture and probably a much better family at the end.

Well, in my opinion it was billed as a "holiday" movie, and it certainly didn't feature any of the traditional elements. Hence, my comment.

Also, it was very akward as it kept moving between comedy and drama and just sometimes switched so fast it did not have the full effect it could have.

And I know a lot of people who got very emotional at the ending, it was heartwarming, yes, but still emotional.

* It had a Christmas tree, gift giving and a family get-together which I think is the essence of Xmas?

Also, it was very akward as it kept moving between comedy and drama and just sometimes switched so fast it did not have the full effect it could have.

* I personally think most of these changes were seemless.

* and can you name any holdiday movies that didn't switch between sad & happy / comedy & drama - that is usually part of holiday movies

And I know a lot of people who got very emotional at the ending, it was heartwarming, yes, but still emotional.

* not sure what this comment is for as I originally said I didn't understand your comment that this movie was heartwarming but with no family love.



some reponses above ( * )

Well, Goldie, what it comes down to is that is how I felt about the film. ;)

I understand your views and that is cool, but I just wrote how I felt about the film -- the essence of a review.

that's fine as I am just analyzing / discussing what I saw in the movie againist what you wrote in your review.

Oh that's cool. I appreciate your comments though. It is always interesting to hear a dissenting point of view. ;)

You were supposed to drink the special Kool-Aid before seeing it, and besides it's bad manners to say the emperor has no clothes...
