| | | well the dysfunctional family isn't the forefront of the film but a man who hires someone to kidknap his wife is pretty dysfunctional. |

| | | American Beauty is like the epitome of that type. I really liked the Ice Storm. I seem to like all Ang Lee films even though they are all so different. |

For the dysfunctional family film either Little Miss Sunshine or American Beauty take the cake. Or... different sides of the cake. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode | |
