Everett Stone, who made it on Wall Street, returns home for Christmas with his new girlfriend Meredith Morton. His ultra-liberal, anti-conventional, rustic Connecticut family doesn't exactly warm to the outsider; despite her best efforts to please the prospective in-laws, she looks, sounds, and acts like the conservative bigots they hate, while various Stones have their own problems. Only matriarch Sybil Stone's unshakable maverick son Ben gives her a chance, and as Everett won't actively turn against either, she feels more supported by him and a weird romance blossoms. Feeling beleaguered, Meredith calls in help from her easygoing sister Julie, who proves no help to her but soon develops a chemistry with Everett, so everything could shift if they dared follow their hearts.—KGF Vissers

The First Wives Club

The First Wives Club (1996)

Approaching age sixty, Daphne Wilder divorced when she was young, has not dated since, and has raised on her own and has fostered a close, loving relationship with her three daughters, Maggie, Mae and Milly, she now assisting Milly in her successful catering business. Daphne was mother of the bride for a first time at Maggie's wedding, and a second time at Mae's wedding, but she fears there won't be a third and final time for a Milly wedding in insecure Milly attracting only who seem to be the wrong men. Not wanting Milly to turn into another "alone" version of herself at age sixty, Daphne, without telling any of her daughters let alone Milly, decides to take matters into her own hands by placing a personal ad for a potential mate for Milly. Scheduling all seventeen interviews in succession at a restaurant, Daphne finds the ad has attracted one "loser" after another, until she reaches number seventeen, Jason, an architect who is handsome and seems smart, well-bred, successful and forward thinking about his life. The two arrange for Jason to meet Milly by "accident". What Daphne does not anticipate is that there ends up being a number eighteen, Johnny, who witnessed the interviews from the sidelines as the guitarist performing at the restaurant, and while Johnny did approach Daphne in his interest in meeting Milly from what he heard of the interviews, she immediately dismissed him solely because he is a musician and thus irresponsible by nature, much like her ex-husband. In their accidental meetings, Milly embarks on a relationship with both Jason and Johnny concurrently, and upon learning about Johnny in the picture, Daphne starts pushing Jason as the favored one to Milly. Beyond Milly, Jason and Johnny's own thoughts about their two relationships, the two men who know nothing about the other being in Milly's life, a question becomes how Milly eventually learning about the ad, an inevitability, will factor into what happens, not only about Milly's love life but her relationship with her mother. In helping Milly with her love life and only fostered by watching old Gary Cooper movies, Daphne may dredge up latent feelings of romance of her own, it which she may find in the most unlikely of places.—Huggo

Because I Said So

Because I Said So (2007)

On a snowy mid-December night in Covington, Maine, a young woman from out-of-town is brought into the hospital unconscious after being pulled from the icy river after an accident on the bridge. She is physically all right, with only a mild concussion and minor scrapes and bruises, but she awakens with a case of retrograde amnesia, which is problematic because nobody in town knows who she is and any identification she had was lost, probably somewhere in the river. As Sheriff Crowley investigates, he only knows that she ate at Masie's Diner that evening and waitress Eleanor pointed her in the direction of the hotel as a place to stay for the night. Believing it important in case she came back for it, Eleanor also kept an advertisement the woman inadvertently left at the diner for a tree-lighting ceremony on Christmas Eve in Charleston, South Carolina, with the note "Please come--Mark" written on the back. After a week with no further idea who she is, "Jane", as she is now called, decides to check herself out of the hospital against the advice of Sheriff Crowley and Doctor Grant, her attending physician, believing that the answers to her life await her in the form of "Mark" at that tree-lighting in Charleston on Christmas Eve. Paul Bennett, one of her attending nurses, offers her a ride, as with no ID she has no other way to get there, and Charleston is on the way to his own Christmas destination of Pickering, Georgia. As Jane and Paul make their way to Charleston for Christmas Eve, Jane seems to have a positive effect on everyone they meet, something that Paul can see as he starts to fall for her. What happens between them will be affected by their individual journeys. While Jane's path is more obvious in needing to regain her memory, especially about "Mark," Paul's is just as complicated: an issue with his brother and sister-in-law Ben and Marissa Bennett was the reason he didn't go home for Christmas the year before.—Huggo
