Movie Night - All About Family

Holidays are All About Family...

Sort of...

Many of us may think that our family is strange, maybe even dysfunctional.

Here are two movie suggestions which may bring a smile to that line of thoughts.



The Addams Family (1991)

I just love the name "Morticia!"
And who would be better than Anjelica Huston?!

Dark... Morbid...Strange...
Yet Sweet in it's own Addams Family's way.

Speaking of Dysfunctional...
Few can top the Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

At times, I wasn't sure to laugh or to cry.
The characters are extreme, yet relatable.
We all can name a few people who have these "traits" of dysfunctions.
They always show up at holiday dinners. (traits or people...take your pick)






As in the first few lines of the Serenity Prayer:
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Relationships during the holidays are often chaotic, 
sometimes, you just have to laugh!
