Did this film make you a Communist?


After seeing this film mulitple times for the fact that it is so bad, its good; I wonder if film had similar effects for other people. Honestly after watching this movie, and realizing that there is a small population of people who actually live like this (hey, we got our car stolen! O well, lets just buy plane tickets instead!) I actually had such thoughts as "wow, people should not be that rich. Let's redistribute the wealth."
Other favorite moments include the fact that aparently no one in this movie can be poor AND attractive at the same time. When they first introduced Charlie, I was all "whoah, she's poor AND hot, what is going on?!" But then thank god later we learn she's actually filthy rich (favorite sub-point includes the fact after one of the olsen's rants, she says "that is the saddest story ever" when her mom is dead! does anyone else realize this?!).
And then there's the scene where they totally rip off the Indian guy for food, and then he's all "wait, you guys should be paying for this!" and then they just laugh and high-five each other as the scene cuts out.

O god, this movie is too much fun to watch. But seriously, it does depress me that there has to be a population of kids living like this, and if I were foreign and this is the movie I watched to learn about American kids, I would probably become a terrorist as well.
