Are American movies with families and friends being so close actually real?

I was just curious to find out if American movies are accurate when they show families and friends being so close, for example at christmas the americans go all out for it and is family really as important as portrayed in the movies.

Also is it right that when someone new moves into a neighborhood that the next door neighbour will bake cookies or a pie for them to welcome them to the street?



I was just wondering, as this really seems lovely in the movies but as we all know movies can be misleading. I would love to go to America someday, as I have always been fascinated with the country, I am just so unsure what to expect of people.

Thanks in advance.Are American movies with families and friends being so close actually real?It depends where you live. In larger cities people don't really know their neighbors and they live in smaller nuclear families.



I've noticed the midwest tends to be more rural and they have larger families they tend to be this way towards family and neighbors. However, everybody loving each other all the time is a myth. There's a lot of drama with large families and small towns where everyone knows each other.Are American movies with families and friends being so close actually real?NO ITS ALL A LIE NO FAMILYS ARE THAT CLOSE OR HAPPY IT ONE BIG FAT LIE DONT BELIEVE IT THEY JUST WANT PEOEPLS MOEY SO THEY MAKE ALL THE PERFECT FAMILY MOVIES ITS NOT TRUE DONT BELIEVE ANY OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!Are American movies with families and friends being so close actually real?my family and i are close. i cant say for everyone else. its a very extended family too, (for example my grandma's cousin and i are close, and yes this it true)
