We know Carl, his sister (collen Camp) Glen are Mcteagues, but what about Frank, We know, his wife Tina, is Carl's cousin which would make her a Mcteague, question is Frank a Mcteague. If he is not it is obvious he is representing, his family as being a gold digger, because Tina is not the strong one in that couple.

2. Why did Joe, keep having his greedy relatives around probadly for his own amusement i'm guessing, or he liked the company?

3. How do you think the relatives, reacted when they found out the truth well if that the joke was on them?

4. Who is Dennis named for was that Uncle joe's middle name? or could, Frank and Tina have decided not to kiss up, by naming there kid after Joe.

5. When do you think Uncle Joe, let Mollie in on the secret.

Glen at one point says Frank has always been a son of a b*tch which insinuates that he is part of the family.

1. It has been a while since I have seen the movie, but I think that it doesn't matter if he is not directly a McTeauge people are greedy for their spouses stuff through family members at times.

2 . My guess is that he just kept them around for his own amusement. I am sure he got a kick out of the people that kept having boys and naming them Joe. Especially the other people that had girls yet the names sounded like a version of Joe.

3. Really ticked that he tricked them again. And they would not be able to try and have him declared incompitent because he certainly seems able body now.

4. Might of been after him. Or his parents could just of not had the idea of naming their kid after Joe to be a suck up.

5. I think that he probably let her in on his idea the first night they met and she came to live with him.

The blood relatives are the ones who showed up at the meeting in the attorney's office. Glen, Frank, Carl & Patti. The others are their spouses.

Mollie was in it from the beginning; the conversations they had on screen where so others could hear them and spread the rumors around. The only one up for debate would be the pool scene, take your guess' at it if she knew then, just didn't find his comment amusing, they had a pact to never go out of character when someone might be watching them, or just a scene to throw you off the surprise ending.

I think he just hired Molly to mess with the relatives heads and her seen with them in the rain was the truth. She's there because hes nice to her, she can drive his fancy cars, she won't get any money but she'd live the good life anyway. It's possible that Joe knew they found Danny and the scene at the pool was to throw anyone off but I like to think that she just has her limits and asking a son to tell that to his father was going to far.

I got the impression that Mollie had no idea until after she left. Uncle joe said something about tracking her down/finding her because "he likes her/she's a nice kid."

I may have missed something, but my thought was they found her after she left and explained it all because he grew to like having her around.

Mollie told him not to give the money to danny and seemed to want it, so she wasn't in on it from the beginning joe was messing with her too.
