*BOOK SPOILERS* Rob Riggle as the Mom's Boyfriend


While the trailers already make the movie look unfaithful to the book, I think my biggest problem is having Rob Riggle play the physically abusive boyfriend. If they actually go there, I think Riggle is a pretty bad casting choice, though maybe he can pull an Everything Must Go and be good at dramedy.

Yeah they definitely didn't "go there" at all. They made the mom's boyfriend out to be a jerk to just the kids and pretty nice to the mom.

Also...

I didn't read the book, but the mom dumped the bf at the end of the movie.
