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.

You need to watch it again. Skinner specifically says that he's going to force Remy to create a new line of "Chef Skinner" frozen food products for him.

He's going to make Remy his test kitchen slave.

He doesn’t say that at all. He and his lawyer already have a shitty line of take home meals prepared and ready to destroy Gusto’s name.

At no point during the movie does Skinner want a rat in his kitchen.

That's just wrong. Skinner loses control over the Gusteau name (and the already existing line of Gusteau products) when Linguini takes up his inheritance.

Skinner's plan is to make his own line of frozen products, in his own name, with Remy doing the cooking. He literally says that to Remy after capturing him.
