A breathtaking mansion on the waterfront...COME ON!!!!

Okay, woah, i think you're dramatizing it too much.

As far as i see they weren't really "hipsters". Actually, if you were to be label as anything it would be "normal/nice confused couple". Off course she had some issues but if you compare them with the other crazy characters you will find that they were nothing but normal people trying to have a kid.

All they did was try to find a place through the movie, i mean, i understand why some people wouldn't be entertained by it but i just don't get it why would you whatch it anyway, after 10 minutes of it if the premise was too unberable to you should have had just stop.

I don't know, i think its the "new thing" to say "hipster this" "hipster that", while people don't even know the meaning of it.







You wouldn't arrest a guy who was just passing drugs from one guy to another.

Based on the title of your thread - are you surprised that Verona's parents could afford a large home? I don't consider it a mansion. It looked like a typical plantation style home in the South, and based on the fact it looked like it needed some work, and was pretty much isolated on what appeared to be overgrown land, I'd hardly call it breathtaking.

Grief is different for people. When my grandparents died, my mother, who was originally going to move into the house herself, she just couldn't. It was to painful, for her, to "go home" and not see her parents, my grandparents, there. She spruced it up and rents it out as two apartments. So I can understand why Verona had issues with going home. It can just hard for some people, even if they had a wonderful childhood, and in some cases BECAUSE they had a good childhood.

It seems to me that they only lived him Burt's hometown because his parents were there. So if they didn't have many ties, as a couple, in his town, I can kind of understand why they were looking to relocate. I found myself wondering why they didn't have friends with kids where they originally lived, but I guess without that, there'd be no reason for the movie -lol!

The reply made by ChiChick267 is spot-on, and is everything I was about to say in my own response:

I had a nice childhood with good parents. They died two years apart when I was in my twenties. I then lived in another country for most of my adult life.

When I returned and a friend drove me to my childhood home just to look at it, I broke down in tears.

I wouldn't want to live there BECAUSE of the happy memories and the fact that my parents wouldn't be there anymore. In fact, even being back in the same area stings a little bit, because I keep thinking of my life WITH them.

Happy memories don't always guarantee a feeling of being at peace with loss. In fact, if your current life is painful and lonely, you actually feel worse.

I just have to say that while I slightly disagree with your comment, I greatly enjoyed the manner in which it was written. We need more people with a bit of spunk who aren't afraid to offend...... especially the horrible hipsters.

Yeah, I had the same response when they pulled up to that lakeside Victorian. Apparently a no-brainer as to where they'd live.

But My first thought was, why is this house empty?? Surely the Rudolph character and her sister would, like 95% of the rest of America use extra income. But, we're supposed to believe they never sold this house in the last 10 or so years, and it's just stood empty? Just, because??

(at the same time, I'd never raise child in the South. So maybe their plan was sell that place and buy a house wherever they wanted. It might have been clearer if the addressed that, though.)
