Query: Smart & funny

This is one of my favorite movies. Sarah Jessica Parker's performance is dead-on. The girl who is uptight, judgemental and prudish (Sarah Jessica Parker) meets the family of her boyfriend (Dermot Mulroney) who are cool, relaxed, demonstrative in their feelings... total opposites. The family obviously hates the girlfriend and comedy ensues. It's one I like to watch at Christmas to remind me that during the chaos of the season, the love of your family wins in the end. Watching Luke Wilson's character coach Sarah Jessica Parker's character in how to relax and be in the moment is hilarious. There is a sad story line as well, which to me just adds another peek into how this family operates. Definitely worth watching, and has lots of "re-watchability".
