Heh. The back story of suburban dysfunction isn't particularly long. What might surprise you is the considerable presence of jungle dysfunction.
I have seen it twice - once for work, and once with Tom. I like it. It's not the book, and it's not for children with small attention spans. But it's a beautiful depiction of childhood, and its myriad struggles and confusions. It made me feel quite sad (but I'm easily swayed to sadness right now, so your mileage may vary.)
