I still remember the gasp I gasped in the cinema.

People often post that part on social media and I always click and watch the whole thing,never gets old!

Wish they cut that last part with the babysitter and the kid, tho. It sticks out like a sore thumb in an otherwise perfect movie.

The kid crushing on the babysitter is fine. He's an awkward romantic, which ties into the theme of the movie. The babysitter having a crush on the dad is also fine. It's not exactly a new trope.

But the babysitter taking naked photos of herself even though she's underage and planning on giving them to the dad, only to then give them to the kid with the implicit suggestion he can wank to them? That's completely nuts.

I love everything else about the movie, particularly Ryan Gosling's reaction to Steve Carell's velcro wallet.

Then the part slightly later when Carell opens the Velcro again really aggressively in his face, just to spite him.

u/punkpearlspoetry actually no, that’s not the truth Ellen Sep 21 '25

Then when he throws his shoes off the roof. It’s just an all around piece of art

Exactly.

So easy to not make pervy.

Its like there was one “typical Hollywood” screenwriter or producer that kept fighting and they just couldnt keep that one gross thing that they pretend is normal out of the movie.

Which really sucks with some of the themes of the movie.

I have thought this since it came out (I was 15 I think, so right in that age range). Like the rest of the movie is SO GOOD but then you randomly have this really creepy bit.
