FAMILY

  FAMILY:

  • If a character is suspicious of a family member (including of their spouse/romantic interest) they will find a scrap book with old newspaper clippings that will reveal all.

  • Every woman who has a jerk for a fiancé will meet and fall for his charming, funny, sexy brother (played by one of the Wilson brothers). This will never tear the family apart.

  • If the woman has a problem with drugs or alcohol, her daddy molested her.

  • If the movie is animated, one of the kid’s parents will be dead. This is almost always the mother.

  • If there are three or more sisters in the movie, one of the sisters will be extremely neurotic and married to a lawyer/doctor/shrink, one will be single and looking for love (the lead) and one will be a mother with at least two kids (a boy and a girl or two girls, never two boys).

  • A good father played catch with his son, a bad father did not.
