The Family Stone

Bill and I were invited to a screening with members of the National Board of Review to a new movie, The Family Stone, being released in December. The film was a light, but incredibly acted holiday story of a family (Diane Keaton and Craig T. Nelson as the parents) with 5 grown kids, and what happens when an uptight and inappropriate girl (Sarah Jessica Parker) is brought home as the new fiance.
The movie was cast perfectly. It moved smooth, smart dialogue. Lots of minor stories, all told to completion. The best being the relationship between the deaf gay son and his African American partner, adopting a baby. Lovely. If you are reading this, go see it in December.
After, there was a Q&A with Diane Keaton, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Luke Wilson. It was crazy being able to talk with Diane Keaton, Wow. And to meet her after, what a thrill. A legend. Bill talked with SJP. They are just like I thought they would be. Funny, smart, dedicated and gracious. A great afternoon.
