The Stone family consists of three sons and two daughters. The plot is the gathering of the members for a Christmas visit. The leading son is bringing home his very uptight and neurotic fiance - who the family has pretty much decided that they hate might dislike and are against the marriage of the two. The family includes the mom who reminds me of a ditzy yet smart Donna Reed or Martha Stewart. The dad is a loving sterotype of "every-dad". One daughter is separated from her hubby and has a precocious daughter. Youngest daughter is gossipy and spoiled - spreads negative reviews of the fiance and is the one who is displaced from her room to accomodate the guest. Another brother brings home his partner who is a nice calm person who trades recipes with the mom. The final son is a laid back, funny and non-judgemental prodigal who befriends the fiance.
I found the whole plot hysterical and loved every silly ( and bitter-sweet) event in the movie. Something for everyone!! It was like eavesdropping on a few days in the life of a family with all the problems we all have. I hope you watch it Carole :) We plan to buy it once the DVD is out - will be fun to rewatch each Christmas season.
I saw Transporter 2 and I really liked it. I really enjoy fast paced movies.
Thank you it sounds like a movie i would enjoy, will be hiring it for sure. :)
I bought the 40 year old virgin & watched it yesterday. I LMAO. It was SO funny!
I saw that movie - I remember watching it but it made no sense to me. I sat there confused at the end!Quote:

I went to see Brokeback Mountain on Sunday with a few friends for my birthday. It was good, but I literally couldn't understand half of the things Heath's character said (sheesh, I forgot his name already!) since he mumbled so much. I want to watch it again after it comes out on DVD, and I do think it is good enough to buy. I didn't cry, but I don't usually cry the first time around when I watch movies unless if I'm alone. Like with the Notebook, the first time it was like I just reviewed it, and then every time after that I have cried :p I think I get distracted by my friends and family so I don't pay enough attention to it.
I saw Brokeback Mountain today.I thought it was good.A few people left because of the scenes with Jake and Heaths characters. :rolleyes: Maybe you should know what the movie is about before you go see it..lol.
i had the same problem!lol.. i missed like half the things he said in the whole movie :oQuote:

Alden and I also watched Red Eye and I really liked it. It was good and moved along quickly and kept me entertained. I like movies like that.
I saw Underworld: Evolution and The Matador a couple days ago. Both were awesome!!
i'm working on 2 old tv series the pretender and the moppet show yeah kermie
My dad really wants to take me to it, but isn't sure if it is appropriate for me. I can see rated R movies but it really depends. So is there anything nasty or anything in it?Quote:
