10 families you wouldn't want to spend Easter with!

Easter is right around the corner, and you know what that means ... forced, awkward interaction with your family! Oh relax, it'll be fine. Your family isn't that bad. Take a look at these 10 dysfunctional families, and be thankful you're not sharing a meal with them!

10. The Marouns - Towelhead

Jasira’s mother blames her thirteen-year-old daughter for seducing her live-in-boyfriend. She is sent to live with her domineering father, who demands unfailing obedience at all times. I know what you’re thinking –(high pitched) perfect dinner gueestsss! Seriously though, her parents make her neighbor Mr. Vuoso seem like a really great guy by comparison. And if you’ve seen the movie, you know how messed up that is.

9. The Skinners - Suburban Mayhem

Katrina Skinner is not the kind of 19-year-old you want to get on the wrong side of. To be completely honest, you wouldn’t want to get on her right side either. What makes her such a horrible relative? Well, when her father threatens to contact social services to have her mistreated child taken away, she schemes to have him killed. So there’s that …

8. The Mills - Taken

For what it’s worth, if I was ever kidnapped. I’d want the relentless and overprotective Bryan Mills to use his “very particular set of skills” to save me. But I’d hate to be his daughter’s new boyfriend over for Easter dinner. “If you let my daughter go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you.”

7. The Turnblads - Hairspray

There would be a distinct air of awkwardness at the dinner table when you realise that the family matriarch is actually a balding man in drag. When Christopher Walken is only the second strangest person in your family, it’s time to seriously reevaluate your family’s mental state.

6. The Corleones - The Godfather

It’s true what they say – a life of crime doesn’t pay. I mean, it definitely makes you rich. That’s never been in question. The problem for the Corleone’s of course, is that it mostly gets them dead. Sometimes as the result of their sibling’s own evil plotting. This Easter, leave the gun and take the canoli.

5. Any Wes Anderson "Family"

The Tenenbaums. The Zissous. The Fischers. The Whitmans. Even Dignan and Andrew. Wes Anderson characters exist in one universe and one universe alone – Wes Anderson’s kooky brain box. Estranged families that are sometimes not even really related. They inhabit wonderful, perfect films. Still, spending time with any of them would have you praying for swift death.

4. The Burnhams - American Beauty

If you think you’re family dinners are awkward, just watch American Beauty. Seriously. If your Easter goes worse than the Burnham’s meals, your family requires serious intervention.

3. Krug, Weasel, Sadie and Jr - The Last House on the Left

They’re not quite a family per se, but you wouldn’t want to share an evening with Krug and co, as the Collingwood’s realise in Wes Craven’s classic exploitation flick. The actions undertaken in The Last House on the Left are quite literally, unprintable. Seriously, it’s messed up. Look forward to the remake hitting cinemas later this year.

2. The Stones - The Family Stone

Oh God. Imagine spending the weekend with these liberal, left-wing, up-with-people, apple-pie-eating, spilling-desert-all-of-yourself-and-laughing-on-the-kitchen-floor-aren’t-we-the-closest-family-ever-even-though-we-don’t-even-speak-like-real-human-beings. Now imagine how hard it would be not to kill each and everyone one of them before the holiday weekend is out.

1. The Cullens - Twilight

Hey kids! Who’s up for some vampire baseball?! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Which movie family would you want to avoid during the holidays?
