A word about 'dysfunctional'

This is just a bit of musing that I've had in my head for a while, and figured I'd post. (This post may have some 'Little Miss Sunshine' spoilers for those who haven't seen the movie)

My friend deliriumdriver posted about the movie 'Juno', which she's just seen. In her post, she mentions that 'Juno' is "somewhat less dysfunctional than Little Miss Sunshine, but that's not really a difficult distinction to achieve."

( Funnily enough... )

All of the above is NOT meant to be an attack on deliriumdriver or her views, nor am I upset in the slightest. It's just something I thought about when I first read reviews that called the 'Little Miss Sunshine' family 'dysfunctional', and her comment brought it up in my mind again.
