Dad and his never ending bank account


Wow, not once did he go to work, buys a huge house, never talks about work, nothing. Guess the wife had a hefty life insurance :P

Funny I thought the same.. He did mention on the phone with his mom that he had a remodel job coming up in a week.

I actually found him kind of a fascinating character, as if the director wanted us to think about him. Scenes of his thinking and worrying, and then right after he cusses tarot cards, he finds a smudging stick - used in wiccan magic and various Native American magics, and starts smudging the house!!! What the hell? Is he against magic or not. Does he believe in ghosts or not? I found myself wondering about him a lot. Weird.

I felt that way too and it didn’t add to the movie. It makes him a confusing character with no real motivation.
