If you are smart, you will skip "The Family Stone," a dreadful movie about a "loving," hippie-style left-wing family fighting with their son's mean, conservative, uptight girlfriend, played by Sarah Jessica Parker. The pot-smoking family consists of, among others, all the politically correct elements: a swearing, way-too-sexually-open mother; a gay, deaf son and his Black boyfriend (and their Black child); and a film producer son who lives in Berkeley. Painful to watch. I wish I'd walked out. Wasted time from my life never to be redeemed. This "movie" was just plain awful.
