But this doesn’t go very deep-as Erik turns out to be not much of a star and his personality is sociopathic and cruel. The Fisher family is also united around Erik’s football stardom. It’s the appearance of wealth and sterile middle class perfection that hold the families together-though not very well. The poorer, working families of Tangerine are united by their poverty.
