12 Messed-Up Movie Families

Putting the 'fun' in dysfunction...

The Family: The Whitneys

The Issue: With the exception of rat-sniffing son Bill, the whole family are actually body-morphing alien horrorbeasts who regularly engage in nauseatingly orgiastic bouts of "shunting".

As if we needed to tell you, "shunting" basically involves the entire household - and several members of neighbouring alien nests - stripping naked and mashing their sweaty, shape-shifting torsos into one rubbery mass as they fuse the two seemingly quite disparate practices of consuming poor people's "nutrients" and humping each other senseless.

And you thought your parents were embarrassing.

Would Therapy Help? It's a moot point - surgery is the most pressing need here. And frankly, of all the  dodgy reasons to wind up in A&E on a Friday night, having to get your own offspring's kneecaps removed from your buttcrack is probably one of the least endearing. And most illegal.

      Good list but what about the seriously mental Jordan family from Happiness?

      I second mentioning the Addams Family. Yeah, they're cute and they function but damn, they're weird. As far as dysfunctional goes... The Simpsons!
