Trivia:
Luke Wilson chipped a tooth while filming this movie and asked Diane Keaton to recommend a dentist. Keaton decided to play a joke on him and, when he called the number she had given him, it was actually the number to a psychologist. moreGoofs:
Errors in geography: Some scenes of the Family Stone's "New England town" were actually filmed in the Borough of Madison, NJ. No problem there - it could pass for a New England town. However, an aerial shot of the town square clearly shows a New Jersey Transit train pulling out of the station -- definitely not something one would ever see in a New England town! moreQuotes:

I totally agree with The Unemployed Critic that the trailers (and the poster) for "The Family Stone" are misleading, and ultimately an insult to the film. My husband and I are cinema addicts, but the trailers convinced us that we could live without another silly and predictable "clash of family cultures" movie. Fortunately the good-to-glowing reviews in American and Australian papers encouraged us to at least give the film a chance. We were rewarded with great writing and acting, lots of laughs and some tears. "The Family Stone" was my favourite of the many movies we saw over the Holidays -- but we almost missed out on it, due to bad Marketing.
