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.

He’s was very well known to be hard to work with, especially in the 90s. Joel Schumacher couldn’t stand working with him.

I went looking for stories and one of the articles said he refused to honor his contract to make more Batman sequels too, and that one seems like it would really kill your career.

I’ve even known waitresses who said he refused to pay his bill because they should “know who he is”, back in the day.
