The Incredibles is a fantastic film that incorporates family with superheroes. The Incredibles are not the perfect family; the parents and kids fight, the daughter struggles to fit in, the son wants to do well in sports, the dad is fed up with his nine to five office job and the mom stays at home to take care of the kids. The film does a great job of relating the Incredibles family to most families in America, mine included. Even though the Incredibles had super powers, they still struggled with the uses of it and still set rules on the super powers. Just like any thing with great power in every day life whether it be money, cars, or in this case super powers, there has to be rules. For example, the son is not allowed to use his super speed in sports at his middle school, and the son and daughter are not allowed to use powers carelessly. Even though the Incredibles may not seem like the average family they do struggle with some of the same issues as my family.  Also the Incredibles share happiness like a regular family, when they open up and start to trust each other and work together and succeed, they grow closer as a family. And this happens with any family, mine included.
