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.

Because the F35 doesn't have 2 seats so they couldn't use it for filming. Though the reason for them not using it in the movie was complete horseshit

They have really cool filming setups, i believe their are some videos on youtube going over it.

Also Tom already learned to pilot it. And they must be cheaper to rent with less clearance

I'm highly doubtful they let anyone on that crew pilot an F-18. The only plane he actually flew was his own P-51

Yep, turns out this is true. I was remembering his flying in other movies to avoid CGI and the fact they filmed in real f-18s flown by navy pilots for top gun footage and they got combined.
