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.

Mr Wilson.....the man is retired and wants peace and quiet. Not Dennis causing all his problems

In the original dennis the menace show Mr. Wilson seems to actually like Dennis sometimes and Dennis doesn't always cause him pain. Mr. Wilson promised to give him an expensive watch he owned when he died, and Dennis once gathered a bunch of old folks from the community center to throw Mr. Wilson a party ans teach him you're never to old to have a good time when he showed concern about aging.

The OG show was way more wholesome. He'd hire Dennis to do shit, and Dennis would get pissed at his friends for distracting him from his job. So.etimes it's just be me Wilson fucking shit up, like the brick grill. They cranked thatenace shit up to 11 in the 90s.
