10 Romantic Comedies That Take Will Get You Into the Holiday Spirit

There's just something about The Family Stone. Sarah Jessica Parker plays a tightly-wound woman meeting her boyfriend's (Dermot Mulroney) family for the first time . . . and they hate her. She ends up connecting with his laid-back brother (Luke Wilson), and suddenly you're not watching a comedy anymore. By the end, you're sobbing. Why is this movie so good? Is it the scene when the Morton family strata ends up all over the kitchen floor? I don't know. I just like it.
