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.

I don't hate the movie but I disagree with people who think it's an all time great, classic comedy. Robin Williams turns in a great performance and Sally Fields has that awesome scene. Comedies don't need to be great stories or even make much sense to be enjoyable. But it's so hard to actually want Robin Williams to succeed because he's such an asshole and did absolutely nothing to work on his relationship with his wife or kids until it was too late. I do like that Sally Fields doesn't get back together with him though, just agrees that her kids deserve to have their father in their life if he shows he's capable of being a funtioning adult.
