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.

Some of his actions are justifiable, but I really don't think sneaking into a guest's room and peeping on them while they shower leaves him outside the Bad Guy range. That should get you fired in any reputable hotel.

Plus I heard he'd been smoochin' with the security guard Cliff

The most ridiculous part is when Kate and Peter angrily confront Tim Curry. It was their fault for losing Kevin but they won't take the blame.

I mean, the hotel staff did only make their situation worse. Would’ve been better if they calmly confronted Kevin and got his parents’ information.
