Peeples (2013) |

In essence, the film is a cross between Meet the Parents and an Adam Sandler idiot-in-a-china-shop comedy."

Twin Peaks - Fire Walk with Me (1992) |
"
There have always been two sides to Lynch: the inscrutable, demonic prankster and the rhapsodic dreamer. In Fire Walk With Me, he's at least trying to recover his poetic sincerity. If only his dreams weren't starting to look like reruns."
