I so hate this movie

I never mentioned how much I hated this movie when it first came out, but they keep replaying it on television and it reminds me of how much I hate it!

Could this family be anymore rude, nasty, holier than though, pretentious???...ugh! just every nasty word you can think of ....that's what I think of The Stone Family!

So they don't like someone because she is uptight and wears her hair up in a bun and isn't who they want for their precious Everett?...by the way...what a joke of a man he is!!

A houseguest is treated soooooo horribly and her sister takes off with her fiance and we are all supposed to be okay with this???? are you kidding me????

aaaw such wonderful holiday cheer....give me a break!

May this movie rot in cable limbo until it phases out forever!

That's weird. I liked the movie. I thought most of the family members (like the mother) tried to be as nice as possible though they were far from perfect.
And I genuinely didn't know how it's going to end. Where else do the main couple and up with someone else?

I went home for Thanksgiving with a friend once and the family was a bit goofy, just like the Stones. The Stones are meant to be quirky right? I relate to how uncomfortable Meredith felt.

I've watched this movie three times and it really grows on me. A lot of small things make me laugh out loud. Some are so outrageous. But that's the point of it, right?

If I must criticize, then the slapstick bit near the end isn't really necessary, with the food spilling and folks getting messy.
