I think the scene that summarizes pretty much the whole situation and philosophy of how these people think of one another, is the part of the movie when she sends in the son to tell the father that he loves him. And the response the father gives is, "If you loved me you would turn off the lights". That was the funniest and most real part of this film.
"We’re changing from a code 3, direct pursuit, to a code 347…completely lost due to incompetence"
When Jackie flys back to NY and she asks her kid how he liked flying commercial, Also when she asked the Hertz guy what her drivers name is and he looks at her like he wanted to punch her..
shareI don't know about the best part, but my top facepalm moment was when she had to look for the two new puppies so the lost snake wouldn't eat them.
perfer et obdura; dolor hic tibi proderit olim
The nanny living in the kids' former playhouse was it for me. Good lord.
shareThe whole relationship was exposed as phony and lacking in genuine intimacy. Jaqueline was little more than a glorified servant (or overgrown daughter) mollifying her lord and master, but she wasn't up to the job. She should have known when to leave David be and, more important, affirmed a willingness to become more responsible with household expenditures and management. It wasn't as if David was asking much from her. For his part, David was an objectifying fool who got exactly what he deserved. By the end you can see the revulsion on his face when she insists on a kiss. So much boob, so little real gratification.

i loved david's concerns about the light bill. i died laughing at that scene...but i turned in and out for a bit, so i didnt realize that it was jackie's former nyc neighbors who xeroxed the article handed it out...i thought that was jackie's mum and she and her husband only handed out copies because they were proud of her success...
Some people call it a Cul-de-sac. I call it a Dead End
The Hertz scenario. Gotta love the look on the guy's face hehe!
sharethem going shopping in a stretch limo then buy 3 carts of crap, then stuffing it all in the limo...then stuffing it all in the garage. I bet they didnt even use one of the toys they just bought. the nanny is putting a bicycle alongside about 50 other bicycles.
shareAnd looking completely miserable while doing so.
shareI don't know if the bike scene was funny or pathetic. I just shook my head with my mouth hanging open in disbelief.

What was up with that? IF you're that stinkin rich don't you have someone go buy it for you? Or get it delivered?
Assume nothing; Question everything
Or get it delivered?
My fav part is the nanny/housekeeper in the playhouse outback that Jackie let her have. She is so grateful for that little space. It's clean, organized and quiet. It satisfies her simple wants and I thought it was a great juxtapose to the rest of the film.
shareThe obvious showcasing of those tacky paintings. They were all so opulent and bad. I loved it.
