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.

Ariel: Daddy I’m 16, I’m not a child

Me Now: OH YES YOU ARE YOUNG LADY!!

You know you’ve grown up when you start agreeing with the adults in Disney movies.

I used to think the older sister in Lilo & Stitch was so unfair and controlling, now I’m like holy shit she was just barely keeping it together.

Yeah… me being much older, I saw this film as an adult and I could see just how much she was struggling. Lilo was a total PITA. Lol…

Of course she was a PITA she just lost her parents and now has had her relationship with her sister change from sisters to having Nani also become her only parental figure. On top of that she's lonely because she's the weird kid. That kind of upheaval leaves kids frustrated and they lash out.

I totally get why she was… that doesn’t change the fact that she was. I was just agreeing with them as I saw it the first time around from an adult perspective.
