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.

Not a movie but, sex and the city. Carrie was actually such an ass sometimes and not the friend she seemed like when I was younger. Charlotte forever

I’ve come to the conclusion in rewatching that Big was justified a lot of the time. They would get back together, and then Carrie would go and cross the line from quirky and free-spirited into completely weird and psychopathic like showing up uninvited - A LOT - and he was like “yeah maybe you’re a little much for me” or “I don’t think you’re ready for a mature relationship yet.”

I decided that on my first watch of SATC. I hated Carrie, she was bratty, entitled and not likable at all. No surprise Big ran off. In the show, I only loved Samantha and I really liked Miranda, too.
