## Resource

The Family Stone is getting a sequel — 20 years after the original’s holiday chaos, the whole crew’s back for another Christmas meltdown. Sarah Jessica Parker, Claire Danes, Rachel McAdams, and more reunite as the Stone family grapples with Dad’s new girlfriend — all while honoring the late Diane Keaton, whose character’s absence looms large over the script. Director Thomas Bezucha, who also helmed the first film, says Keaton’s passing deeply shaped the sequel, calling it a tribute to her legacy and the cast’s bond. Critics once called the original “fake” and “empty,” but it became a beloved holiday classic — now, they’re asking: can the Stones handle another round of dysfunction — and grief — with love?
