Too bad the daughter wasn't mugged


What a brat.

reply

Yeah, what a snot. Although to be perfectly honestly both parents are lying to her so she's working off false information.

reply

Did she get along with her dad and stepmom?

reply

She got along with the money. Dad and Step had the money.

reply

A total ungrateful little snot. I couldn't stand her. So, completely disloyal to her mother.

I'd like to say typical teen but I've personally known some that would not be this crappy to their down on her/his luck parent. Of course none of the ones I've known were raised wealthy. That probably changes priorities.

This is why so many kids are brats these days. This generation of parents put their kids on pedestals. The sun sets on them and the world revolves around them. No parent should have to put up a front for their kids in order to be loved or accepted. She should have loved her Mother unconditionally not matter what her financial circumstances.

It's been called Family Values since the 80's, the Children come First. Sounds great, but like every idea taken too far, stinks.

reply

Agreed I could not stand her.

Left a bad taste in my mouth too. If Mom was still living out of her car, struggling to pay bills, and eat free snacks from stores by movie's end would daughter still be "proud" of her and not whine about how her life is ruined?

I agree. Another child brought up with the "me first" attitude. She was definitely old enough to be told exactly what her father did to breakup the marriage and certainly to know what kind of a financial strain her mother was under.

reply

The mom was a total retarded push over though lol

I just saw this movie...yes, I agree...either her or that deadbeat ex-hubby...
