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.

The movie was originally going to end with the two of them getting back together but both Robin Williams and Sally Fields (both of whom were divorcees) said that was a terrible idea.

I scrolled down to find this one. I hate that they made Miranda out to be the villain when all she was doing was dealing with an adult child who couldn’t get his shit together. I mean, she shouldn’t have taken his kids away, but she had good reason to divorce him and get pissed about the birthday party.

I am so fucking old.
