Adult bullying a child.

I couldn't believe what I was watching, Leslie Mann* talking to that boy like that…he wasn't even too rude to her daughter on FB and her daughter handled well, she had no business talking to the boy about it and specially talking to him the way she did. How immature and ridiculous. I was appalled to see there were no consequences and even Paul Rudd* abuses the boy's mum inside the school and in front of him.
Horrible scenes and boring film, *I didn't even manage to learn their name in the film, this is how boring the film was.
Waste of time.

Do you by any chance have a Tom Petty vibe going on with your face?

Jesus lady, you realize this is a *beep* comedy, right?

Oh my gosh! Leslie Mann is so hilarious! When she called the little buck-toothed boy "Tom Petty" it was truly priceless! That's what he gets for being a little jerk and trying to make a hormonal adolescent girl feel bad about herself! This is a comedy and a purely genius one at that as it comedically portrays the realities of what happens when people get married and have kids. It's just the way it is. We should at least be able to have a good laugh over it.

And you are the reason why kids are azzholes. So what if another parent calls a kid out on his behavior? I'm an adult and if kids are doing something f'd up I say something.

"And you are the reason why kids are azzholes."

Wow, someone having a different opinion about a comedic movie is responsible for all the bad behavior of children the world over!

Yeah ,you probably should have prefaced your comment with "uptight houmorless menopause havin PC obsessed Participation ribbon givin butt hurtin...Emasculating new age bitches Like YOU !! or something like that, That scene was the best, funniest most on point , It is the reason i came here today ! 3 years or so since watching the film i came looking for this example of why 2016 sucks balls hard *beep* parents, with even *beep* little entitled spoiled brats with no respect, no manners, no boundaries,no direction , lazy self-obsessed parents handicap their children when they try to be friends instead of being Parents. The truth and pain of real life ,is always just below the surface of great comedy.
