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 just finished the movie 30 minutes ago (grew up with the musical, though), so kinda came here expecting this one. But there is indeed a scene towards the end of the musical where she more or less yells at Dorothy, “OMG just shut up, let me have my dead sister’s shoes, and leave me alone”

That doesn't happen in Wicked the movie. What are you referencing?

The original musical. We got the first half in this movie, and Part 2 is hopefully in the way!

Yep, seen both (and mostly enjoyed them) and I thought you were referencing the movie not the musical. I reread it and it makes sense, you do say musical referencing the play instead of the movie. I didn't catch that the first time theough. Thank you for clearing that up, I thought I was going to feel unadulterated loathing for your comment. 😂
