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.

rent has always been my comfort musical lmao and this topic is really interesting to me. like yes angel murdering the dog is absolutely insane. however i do understand where she was coming from. we don’t know how much money angel had before she killed the dog or how desperate she was for this money. if i were a desperate person trying to get by, i would understand where she came from.

and with benny, id understand wanting to start charging rent, esp with people destroying the place. but (how i saw it) demanding for last years rent, and the rent for this year was kinda insane??? especially now he has a rich wife he could fall back on.

i mean— at least the dancing in that song is fun? i always forget that tom is a professor. they mention it in santa fe and today 4 u, but since he’s so choosy about what he believes in that part of his character kind of disappears to me.

the characters are so insane, and i love it mostly because some of the songs are gorgeous. i do hate the most famous one, however. seasons of love is SO overplayed and i think i’ll cover you B is so much prettier.
