a piece of advice, however small

If you're looking to hold on to your holiday buzz, do not go see The Family Stone. It's far more depressing than funny and let me tell you, when you're not laughing, it's much easier to notice all the ridiculously unearned developments. You're probably better off seeing Munich as you had originally planned. Of course, in that last sentence, "you" equals me. Perhaps the literal you was planning to see something else entirely? Go for it.

I stayed home... tired...

Yeah. It doesn't earn the moments it tries to make.

Indeed. And so you are left with very little laughing, and a lot of unearned sadness. Phooey.

I actually wanted to see that, too. Well depressing I can live with. Crappy I can't.

Sorry for the delayed response here. I'm still recovering from having witnessed this movie myself. If only I had read your warning sooner.......

Yes, it sucked.
