Pathetic movie - The Family Stone
#Wanted to go for Munich but because of timing issue, ended up going to The Family Stone earlier this evening. I must say, this was a pathetic movie, especially given the star cast. Everyone was underused and I can say for sure that Sarah Jessica Parker cannot act. I was never impressed with her acting in Sex and the City, and this movie proved that and I am not going to go for any of her films in the future.
Luke Wilson was wasted, and so were Rachel McAdams and Diane Keaton. I never considered Claire Danes as a good actress so I will not comment on her part.
I have seen a lot of bad movies (especially Hindi flicks with Salman Khan et al), but this one I did not expect to be do bad. The plot was flaky and there was absolutely no rhythm as the movie progressed. I wonder if some of the stars signed up for this movie just as a favor to the producer or the director.
I would highly recommend to save your money and not go for this movie.
Now I am seriously wondering if I should go for Rumor Has It or not ;-)
The wife of course wants me to go to Memoirs of a Geisha. I don’t want to admit it, but it may actually be a good movie. Will see it next weekend perhaps.
