What is it, in summary?: Everett Stone brings his uptight girlfriend Meredith Morton home to Connecticut for Christmas so she can meet his family. He wants to propose to her. However, everything that can go wrong does - the Stones don't like her - and it gets even worse when Meredith calls her sister Julie in for back-up.
What do you love about it?: The relationship between Meredith and Everett's brother Ben is the best part of the movie, and I adore absolutely everything about it.
Content warnings: Terminal illness (cancer), mild instances of homophobia and ableism (which is immediately called out)
