Alex tripping over


Was anyone else annoyed by the scene where the Russos arrived at the hotel and Alex rushes out of the car and runs into a man with a suitcase. The man almost gets knocked off his feet and then he drops his suitcase but says nothing and the scene continues as if that didn't even happen!!!

- Alex doesn't say 'sorry' or even 'watch out', she just picks up her bag that she dropped in the collision, and starts talking to her parents about another topic. And the parents continue the topic with no cares for what just happened.
- None of her family pay any attention to the fact that Alex bumped into a tourist. Theresa is even smiling during the scene and reminiscing. No family members ask if Alex is okay, or tell her to be more careful, and nobody apologises or even acknowledges the man that was almost knocked to the ground.
- The man with the suitcase also had no reactions - he didn't yell at Alex for being reckless, he didn't ask if she was alright, he didn't laugh about the situation, he just picked up his suitcase and kept walking silently.

I know that this was a very insignificant part of the film but if this happened on my holiday, it would be one of my highlights lol One of the first things I'd tell my friends would be "When we arrived at the hotel, my sister almost took out one of the tourists haha". It wasn't that Alex was rude, it was that everyone saw the incident but everyone ignored it COMPLETELY and could so easily go onto a new topic within a second.

Yeah, I remember thinking that was a little weird too.
