I did not know anything about this movie before going to see it. It is not the kind of movie I would pick as it had a sad theme. I loved all the actors and actresses in this movie. Sally Jessica Parker was great as the uptight girlfriend brought home to meet her boyfriend's quirky family. The are preloaded to dislike her and there is a yet unknown sorrow. I haven't seen Claire Danes in anything for a while, and she is sparkly as the sister invited in for moral support. Luke Wilson plays one of the boyfriends brother and I find him just as appealing as ever. The story itself has some very funny moments, but is a bit too contrived. The background snowy secluded neighborhood is beautiful.
I will rate this 3/5 acorns.
