'Written and directed by Thomas Bezucha, The Family Stone is not a Hanukkah story. It's an altogether different beast: A Christmas movie with a Jewish heart.'
is fairly straightforward. Eldest son Everett brings uptight girlfriend Meredith home for the holidays to meet his quirky liberal family. What could go wrong? The answer is absolutely everything. From the moment Meredith steps into the, she rubs everyone the wrong way.
Let’s be clear: The Stones are not actually Jewish. But the film’s themes of finding comedy and levity in grief are essentially the cornerstone of every single Jewish holiday. Plus, a movie about a family who thinks their son is too good for the blonde lady he brought home?The Family Stone— and the characters’ place on the Grinch end of the likeability spectrum has spawned many an internet debate. My take: These characters are not likeable. They’re truly not. That’s why I love them.
“No, no no. It’s a miracle the movie ever got made. There were so many iterations, with so many really talented actors. For whatever reason, people responded to the script, and I was lucky enough to meet with a lot of people. It ended up being exactly the right cast, but it could have been any given cast. Rachel had just done. She was shooting when I met with her, [and] I fell in love with her. She was just so great. And then many years passed, and the thing was just coming together.
. And Rachel called, and went, ‘That part’s mine, right?’ It was incredible. And she owned Amy for sure. Amy was her.” “Oh, I can’t say. I will say when I was writing the script, the voice in my head was Elaine May when I was writing Sybil’s dialogue. So I owe Elaine May, aside from hours and hours from all the movies she wrote and directed, I also owe her for this one.”
