Jamie passion and passionfruit!

I saw this on a rainy day and it was perfect seasonal rainy Sunday material. The introduction of Everett`s anally retentive girlfriend to a liberal but strong minded family full of diverse personalities unleashes all sorts of unexpected mayhem and unveils family secrets.  A sort of choral comedy with a sad and meaningful base, we both laugh and cry and know we are being manipulated into it.  Good enough but nothing special.  However, we do get a sterling performance from Sarah Jessica Parker as the structured and somewhat blinkered Meredith and it is great to see Diane Keaton, Claire Danes, Dermot Mulroney and Luke Wilson in action.
