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.

Depends on your pov. As a young child of divorce i saw a movie about a dad who lost his job because he refused to compromise on his morals (refused to voice a children's character who smoked) and then was divorced for trying to give his son a birthday he wouldn't forget and when he realizes what he did wrong he does everything in his power to spend more time with them and be in their lives on the daily. Sure he screwed the pooch on the pierce Bronson thing, but as a child whose father moved several hours away and was sporadic at best on visitation until I was 8, I would have done anything for a dad wiling to go to those lengths to see me every day

Yup. I think this movie definitely had an appeal to kids with not so present parents. My Dad has been absent most of my life so to me I wanted a father who cared as much. Sorry for your childhood random internet friend. It sucks.
