"A Deadly Adoption," Lifetime TV's 90-minute parody of itself premiered on Saturday night. If you weren't among the millions who sat out of legitimate plans to watch Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell battle a psycho killer while nursing a dangerously diabetic daughter, fear not—there's "Cliff's Notes." Gifs win again.
The movie stars a typical American family, obviously.
Nothing to see here. Just one big happy family! #DeadlyAdoption pic.twitter.com/5cqY6w9FqR

Like all families they enjoy eerie bodies of water.
