Jody had it so good, what a selfish ACE.


He had a beautiful independent woman who loved him more than anything. She had her own place he could have easily lived in, but chose to stay with his mom like a little kid. you'd think he would wanna spend EVERY day with his son, but no. He cheats on Ivette with several women.

He had a caring and strong mom who he only used for shelter (its obvious he doesn't pay any bills).

Glad he learned his lesson at the end, but man he needed a wake-up call.

Yep, but his character is very reflective of a lot of young men his age I know or have known. Sad

reply

Yeah, so sad.

Welcome, to the entire point of the movie.

What lesson did he learn? When the movie ends, he still has no job, still rolling around in Yvette's car and no future life prospects. As far as I can tell, the only thing he did was shift which woman would be supporting his sorry ass full time.

Jody still wasn't shit!
