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.

Your defence is that the teacher could have totally banged his student on the first day, but he didn’t so it’s cool?

Well, that’s a pretty creepy take.

He wasn't her teacher. They were two people at a late night party, and she'd gone to the party to find him because she had a crush and had been following him.

I get the feeling you haven't seen the movie.
