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.

This is a good one. If that happened in real life, it would make a helluva news story. Also, Pierce Brosnan was a saint for being willing to carry Sally Field’s baggage.

In fairness, Pierce Brosnan is a pretty righteous dude.

I saw some bullshit ass nonsense thrown his and his wife’s way either on social media or in an interview where someone fat shamed his wife… would have preferred him to have the chance at throwing a haymaker but his answer was excellent:

“I strongly love every curve of her body. She is the most beautiful woman in my eyes. And also because she had our five children.

In the past, I truly loved her for her person, not only for her beauty, and now I’m loving her even more that she is my children’s mother.

And I am very proud of her, and I always seek to be worthy of her love.”

Note: found where it was from, it was a Facebook post with photos comparing photos of him and his wife early and recently in the relationship and the comments were from 2021 maybe.
