The Family Stone is officially getting a sequel, with the beloved Christmas family returning to our screens later this year. So naturally, it got us thinking about the movies that perfectly capture what happens when you put one complicated family under the same roof.

For this week’s Friday Round-Up, Laura and Em are sharing their favourite movies about messy, chaotic and deeply complicated families. There’s a Disney classic so good we had to include its sequel, the little indie movie that became an Oscar-winning sleeper hit, and a Nancy Meyers favourite that Em had somehow never seen.

Plus, we get into what we know about The Family Stone sequel and whether it can possibly recreate the magic of the original.
