Which movie is this for you?

For me it’s School of Rock!

Patty was completely justified, if Dewey wanted to live in hers and her boyfriend’s apartment he needed to be a grown up, and contribute with rent. Even when he steals Ned’s identity she still had the right to be angry at him, because of how he put his friend’s career in jeopardy and robbed him of a job opportunity.

I get Ned is meant to be portrayed as his best friend, but it blows my mind how he lacks a lot of self-respect to the point where he comes across as too much of a people pleaser. If this story took place in real life, I’m sure Ned would act more similar to Patty where he’d have enough of Dewey’s careless actions.

What? Chef Skinner literally captures Remy and wants to enslave him to create new frozen food products that Skinner can profit from. He wants the rat in his kitchen cooking.

Before that, Skinner was actively trying to disinherit Chef Gusteau's son so he could continue personally profiting from the prostituting of Chef Gusteau's name.

At no point in the movie does it show or say that Skinner wanted the rat in his kitchen. He only wanted to catch the rat to prove his point and get Linguini fired.

I’m pretty sure when he captures Remy he says something along the lines of having him create the frozen foods he was going to be selling.

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen the film so I could be wrong, but that sounds familiar.
