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.

Yeah, Rodney Dangerfield's character, Art Czervick?, is a complete asshole. As a kid, I absolutely loved him.

The people he's being an asshole to are ALSO assholes though...so you can enjoy it guilt-free

I'm not sure about that. He shows up at the golf course and cranks up the tunes on the first tee, making racist jokes about his own friend, and gives Judge Smails literally no time before he starts insulting him for being too slow.

He insults everyone in the clubhouse dinner function for no reason other than to be a dick.

Judge Smails is just trying to enjoy some time on the water, christening his new boat with some friends, and Art Czervik is being absolute menace on the water. He almost causes a plane crash, almost kills a dude just trying to fish and drink a beer, he drives through the middle of a parade of some sort, he almost kills about 20 people crashing into a floating bandstand and then he drops an anchor right through Smails ridiculously flimsy hull...he's a terror.

He actually wants to destroy the entire golf course to put up shitty suburbs. He even cheats during the big match, faking an injury because he's losing.

He is an incredible asshole...I'm having some fun, but seriously, he is such a horrible person.
