    CLIP DESCRIPTION:
    Meredith (Sarah Jessica Parker) makes the mother of all insults when talking about Thad's (Tyron Giordano) homosexuality, and inadvertantly his deafness.
    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    A woman meets her future in-laws and discovers they don't much care for her in this comedy from writer and director Thomas Bezucha. Everett Stone (Dermot Mulroney) is a successful young businessman who is dating Meredith Morton (Sarah Jessica Parker), and has asked her to spend Christmas with his family, with plans to ask his mother, Sybil (Diane Keaton), for the titular family wedding band and propose to Meredith on Christmas Day. Meredith is more than a bit nervous about meeting Everett's folks, and things only get worse when they arrive -- Meredith is by her nature straight-laced and a bit uptight around strangers, while Sybil and family patriarch Kelly (Craig T. Nelson) are free-thinkers who, except for Everett, have raised a family of cheerfully rebellious children, most notably younger daughter Amy (Rachel McAdams), older brother Ben (Luke Wilson), and adopted sibling Thad (Tyrone Giordano), who is both deaf and gay. Meredith and the Stone family do not get along well at first, especially Sybil, who is appalled at the prospect of Everett giving Meredith the family's heirloom wedding ring; in dire need of moral support, Meredith asks her younger sister, Julie (Claire Danes), to join her for Christmas with the Stones. However, the plan runs into a snag when Everett's head is turned by pretty Julie, and Meredith finds herself on the receiving end of attention from slobby Ben.

    This is kind of moment when you have to agree to disagree to end a discussion. Sharing one's view is enough . . . but over explaining it may sound being too pushy or forceful. We end the discussion not because we concede, but because we value relationships and give respect as well to those people.

    Meredith certainly wasn't coming from a place of hate, nor did she intentionally try to be disrespectful. If anything, it was pure ignorance.
    However she really overstepped her boundaries, continuing to explain what she meant, even after she was told, "that's enough." All she had to do was just stop talking after the first "that's enough."
    She just made it worse by continuing to talk.
    And sure, they weren't very friendly to her at all from the very beginning, and you could argue that there were times when she tried to fit in, but you also have to understand where they are coming from, in this scene, when they express anger at her over her words.

She overstepped for sure but I can also see why she did. She’s used to explaining, making a point in general. Winning arguments I assume. And when she did that, she got cornered.

      They don’t mean to make them the “victim”. I only react to her because I’m awkward and say the wrong things too (not about sexual orientations of course just other things) but I don’t see myself as a victim. I hate being put on the spot because I don’t handle these things well. I’m not perfect. No one is. I just feel bad for making a situation worse and hurting someone by accident but I do end up apologizing and acknowledge I have no excuse as well as say “I had no excuse.” Just because I sympathize with someone’s awkwardness because I can relate, doesn’t mean I victimize them. I know there’s no excuse. They were rude to her to begin with. Not saying that excuses her but I don’t blame her for being imperfect and nervous around them after they’ve been so unwelcoming and mean. She just needs to stop trying so hard. She didn’t mean it how it sounded. She just worded it wrong. But when people tell you to stop talking, stop talking, apologize, and move on. I did learn to do that eventually and stop trying to correct my wording. I even get awkward around my closest family members so it is harder for me to talk to people outside of my family. She’s not a victim and the movie doesn’t mean to make her that way. Just someone you can relate too. While I do empathize with the character, I know when she messes up and cringe because it reminds me of me. Nothing hurts more than y’all mistaking that with a victim mentality. This scene makes me sad since I’ve been there when I say the wrong things but that’s not the same as seeing myself as a “victim”. Just someone who makes mistakes and feels bad about them. We hurt people even though we don’t mean to. Sometimes, it’s easier to see someone else’s ignorance and shortcomings rather than our own. But for me, I relate to her and it helps me to recognize my own flaws and what to do and what not to do. Maybe that’s the point of this scene and the character. But it doesn’t make her a bad person. She is flawed. And that’s okay. We can learn how to handle things at the end.

    This was so cringeworthy to view. For her to say what she said, which was incredibly ignorant, rose to the level of being disrespectful. The family was taken aback at first before Kelly very calmly corrected her. That "should" have been the end of it right then and there, but she kept arguing her point. I don't believe she was being hateful on purpose, but instead had no idea how hurtful her words were, nor did she understand when to leave well enough alone. And, to do that as a guest in someone's house was beyond good taste. Did Kelly and Sybil need to shout her down like that? Maybe not, but I understand where they're coming from.

      Agustin Camejo Kelly actually was being calm and diplomatic when he explained the family's position, and the first time he said, "That's enough." If she had just let it go instead of continuing her argument, it would have played out differently. Like you said, while I do not, as it were, agree with the outbursts, I understand why they were angry.

      Sybil and Kelly are the type of parents who accept their children no matter what. It was so sweet to see how they have accepted Patrick and dote on Thad. For someone to come into their house and say the things she said, is disrespectful. No one is commenting on it, why would you and that too in front of the entire family. Then she had the nerve to get mad at Everett that he didn't stick up for her. I mean hello, you hurt his brother by what you were trying to ask.

    I don’t think the film meant to do this, but Meredith strikes me as being on the spectrum, or at least struggling with social anxiety. The way that she worries, the way that she insists on trying to clarify what she meant only to make it worse, and the way that her outgoing and friendly sister Julie is the only person that understands her mannerisms and quirks. The cautious way Julie said “….I know how she can seem” made me feel like she’s had to dig her out of uncomfortable conversations for most of their lives.

      Not at all. Knowing people "on the spectrum," that's not what was happening here at all. She is the average conservative-minded asking valid questions hoping to just have a discussion and understanding of different points of view, while not wanting to offend a new family that is much, much different from hers. They could've engaged her with patience and respect, but chose to mock and belittle her all in collusion with each other instead. Because of that, she felt a constant need to try to cushion the situation, but they absolutely refused to allow her to...because they're self-righteous elitist types.

      Does it matter? They've done this with real languages as well. For example Dutch where they act like they're actually Dutch and have obviously tried to learn it for the movie/tv show but honestly don't sound Dutch at all. It might be weird for people that know the language, real or sign but at the same time you can't expect actors/actresses to just properly learn that stuff. Maybe sign is easier than an actual language I have no clue but for the people that do not know it comes off as if it's perfect, lol.

    The thing I hate most about this scene is that no one even tries to simply acknowledge where Meredith is coming from, not even her bf, and that’s why she kept pushing her point through because she felt like she wasn’t being understood. Yes, it was in very poor taste on her part but her points are valid. The closed-minded and judgmental attitude of the Stone family is worse.

      @@cherrymidniqht Yes, she insulted the son (and family) but it was clearly unintentional and based off ignorance and concern from her worldview, not hate. Our culture needs to stop the reactionary self-righteousness because that is what has got us into the mess we are in now. Instead, we can listen to each other and have civil disagreements and teach people their wrongs with kindness and understanding, instead of hostility and acting like anyone who is not with us is against us.
      Not saying the family didn’t have a right to get offended. Meredith was in the wrong here, but in my opinion, had I been there, I would have at least tried to keep the peace and bridged the gap in the misunderstanding - because that’s all it was: a misunderstanding.

It's one thing to talk like this to someone in passing or in a comments section, but to do that as a guest in someone's house, at their dinner table, is beyond the pale of good taste. I'll agree that she was coming from a position of ignorance and not hatred. But, for her to double down on her comments after being corrected politely and then calmly being told to can it was extremely rude.

    I hated this scene. Instead of calmly discussing Meredith's point of view, which I think makes a lot of sense, they shut her down and treated her like some racist antigay asshole. She doesn't dislike the biracial gay couple or treat them with disrespect, she is just curious and concerned. Rather than belittle her, they should try to educate her. Yes, no parent wants their children to face added hardships in life - whether they be related to race or sexual orientation, but you have to deal with the hand you've been dealt with in life and find some way to make it work. If they explained to Meredith that their son's condition was unexpected and abnormal, but a secret blessing come later in life, I think she would've understood a lot better and the tension at the dinner table could have been pacified.

And the first time she was told, very calmly, "That's enough," it would have been a good idea to let it go, but she kept talking. While I agree, she was not being intentionally hateful, she had no idea why what she said was so incredibly hurtful. She was not, again, coming from a position of hatred but was, instead, very ignorant. If you don't understand something, it's always better to ask questions than to offer commentary.
