Craig (spoilers)

I think Craig had Aspergers.

So everything that happened was just in Craig's mind? I don't understand. Why did he just storm off when she sat down at the table with him that day? I felt like he did get stood up or he saw her with somebody else, kissing. But it was established that it was apparently in his mind, as Laura said none of the date things were true.

My heart broke for him when he cried. I've been there, but I never wanted to kill myself. I have mild Aspergers myself. Luckily I have gotten to go on a couple of nice dates recently, one of which ended with a kiss on the lips. One of my best friends, also an Aspie, has as well.

Also, OT but what the hell happened with the ex boyfriend? Why didn't Laura apologize to him at least?

Some scenes were definitely cut out of this movie, because Laura found Craig's waterpipe under his desk and that's what she used to stab his mother, which raises the question of how Craig was able to get a waterpipe in the first place, and what the hell kind of drug was he smoking in it that would cause him to believe he had a date with Laura?

It seems plausible that when Laura's hero boyfriend (whatever his name was) went to Craig's house, he had the pipe with him and got Craig high on pot, and he dreamed up this fantasy, and the producers cut that scene out because it would make the guy unsympathetic to the target audience and unsuitable to be the hero boyfriend. But even if that was the case, simply smoking pot does not explain Craig's absolute belief that he had a date with Laura.

Revenge is a dish that best goes stale.

Yeah, I have no idea why Craig was so convinced he'd had a date planned with Laura and to be honest, it took away from my ability to sympathize with him. The only plausible explanation I can come up with is that he was just as delusional as his mother.
