The Family Stone (2005) Synopsis

The Stones gather for Christmas. Dad's a professor in a Connecticut town and Mom has a secret; there's a gay, deaf son and his husband, a pregnant daughter and her child, a daughter who's judgmental and acerbic like her mother, and a laid-back observant brother. Everett, the eldest, is bringing his girlfriend Meredith to meet the family and, probably, to ask for grandma's ring to give her. She's self-centered and uptight, and she talks too much. Instantly, almost all give her a hard time. She calls her sister to come and help. Meredith, her sister, the Stones, and the family stone conflate. What does Everett see in Meredith, and doesn't she deserve someone to love her for who she is?—
