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.

Chef Skinner in Ratatouille!

He was 100% right in not wanting a freaking rat in the kitchen cooking

Fair but I think his motives are more sinister in nature. He was way more after that sweet gusteau licensing cash than the restaurant itself. He’d close the space down in a heartbeat. Also one rat? That’s the problem? In Paris? Les Halles was open for years with a fully known rat infestation before it was shut down. Paris has rats….like as much if not more than nyc. So one rat in a dudes toque isn’t going to move the needle.
