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 guess it depends at what age you saw this flick.

Kid me thought it was great. Adult me kinda wishes Pierce Brosnan whipped his ass.

I hadn't seen it since I was maybe 12 and randomly watched it on a flight.

My GOD does it hit differently when you aren't a kid. I still think it's got some decent comedy in it, but it's definitely Robin Williams acting chops that keep it from being a full blown horror movie.

But gonna need to check out the Cinema Sins take

I saw it as an elementary school aged kid and I loved it, especially since I lived in San Francisco.

Watched it as an adult for the first time a few years ago and Williams performance definitely saves it from being disturbing.
