From Academy Award Winning Producer, Michael London ("Sideways")
and Writer/Director, Thomas Bezucha ("Big Eden"):
Christmas in the suburbs at "The Family Stone" household
unravels as togetherness takes on a new meaning, and everyone1s patience
is pushed to the limit. Everett Stone (Dermot Mulroney) brings his
overly self-conscious girlfriend, Meredith Morton (Sarah Jessica
Parker), home for the holidays for the first time, seeking a thumbs-up
from his liberal-skewing parents Sybil and Kelly Stone (Diane Keaton,
Craig T. Nelson), and his grown-up sibs Amy (Rachel McAdams), Susannah
(Elizabeth Reaser) and her daughter Elizabeth (Savannah Stehlin),
Ben (Luke Wilson), and Thad (Ty Giordano) and his partner Patrick
(Brian White). When Meredith feels she has failed miserably to impress
the potential in-laws, she calls upon her own sister, Julie (Claire
Danes), to save the day. The plan goes awry as the enchanting Julie
eclipses Meredith1s presence and further drama ensues causing the
traditions of Christmas take a backseat. For as we all know, no one
can push your buttons like your own family.
