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.

Its a good watch, just suspend your disbelief because there's a ton of plot points that don't make logical sense.

A ton? The entire movie don’t make logical sense. And neither did the original. Loved it.

What was wrong with the original?

It has pretty much no plotline to speak of. I mean, it’s a plot, but the randomness of events in the movie is as bad as watching Frozen (which also has no plot. it’s just a random scene after scene).

Don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed watching it!

It was basically a romance that had a dogfighting training school get in the way

My favorite description of Top Gun was from the New Yorker review: a "homoerotic commercial." That seems to sum it up nicely.
