WTF was the point? This is a terrible movie.



A lazy, disgusting, disrespectful, foul mouthed, violent young woman has kids and then ignores them. Then when she needs more money she becomes a prostitute because she's too lazy to get a real job like her friend. And nothing really happens.

WTF is the point? This is a terrible movie.

She doesn't ignore her kid(not plural) . They are pawning,shopping, having meals and doing lots of things together.

She alludes to the fact she has applied to every spot on the strip and mentions Disney won't hire her (perhaps because she has a record as she mentions she can't get arrested again). So she works as a street vendor selling personal products

The pt is despite all her despair, the kids develop good friendships and have a great time for most of the movie. They go for ice cream, swim in the pool , watch fireworks , play games and otherwise lead very normal childhoods in fact. The dialogue is in fact very clever and humorous too for 6 year olds.

It was chosen by both the National Board of Review and American Film Institute as one of the top ten films of the year but to each his own.

So? Just because two institutions liked it does not mean it was good. It's a terrible movie.

It SUCKS!

She doesn't. They even live in the same room for crying out loud but believe what you like.

I think the point is to be careful when you book your Disney vacation.
