SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Like The Family Stone, it finds humor, friction and tenderness in a lively ensemble gathering, letting old loyalties and romantic complications surface through sharply observed group dynamics.
02
Why this pick
This has the same holiday-family pressure cooker, balancing awkward comedy with genuine feeling as an outsider-minded young woman tries to bring a difficult family together.
03
Why this pick
A warm, autumnal family-house comedy-drama with the same pleasure in teasing siblings, intrusive relatives and a romance made complicated by an unusually close-knit clan.
04
Why this pick
Its Thanksgiving reunion shares The Family Stone’s messy, affectionate view of family: embarrassing rituals, clashing temperaments and real love coexist without smoothing over the tension.
05
Why this pick
For the original’s blend of liberal family bustle and emotionally charged dinners, this offers an equally smart ensemble where warmth, discomfort and romantic uncertainty constantly overlap.

01 / THE STORY
Set in the fictional town of Thayer, Connecticut, the story focuses on Meredith Morton, a successful Manhattan executive whose uptight, conservative demeanor is a sharp contrast to that of her boyfriend Everett Stone and his liberal and rambunctious family. Meredith is dreading meeting the rest of the family after already being given the cold shoulder during dinner with Everett's youngest sister Amy.
