What a Sociopath

So the message of this movie is you can lie, cheat and steal, then manipulate people to get what you want, whine the loudest and beg repeatedly to get people to change their minds and conform to your zero moral lifestyle. Yeah, right. This movie is far fetched at best. It's a Tom Sawyer/Midas touch movie where the parents are deaf to giant noises in the house at night, conveniently forgetful and never dig a little deeper into their children's lies. Any other authority figure never puts two and two together either or is hamstrung by his prowess at manipulating others, and the students all melt for this kid because he has a symmetrical face. It's crap.

Hes also not very smart. His speech about how everyone is dumb for going to school when they can be expelled like him and do whatever they want all day was horrible. It doesnt take much thought to realize that his little vacation is a very short time setup before someone notices. What was his endgame here? Fake graduating, fake getting into college, fake getting a job, and live in his parents attic with his brother the rest of his life?
