Lmao right 💀

No E recovery

“WHAWDT?” “make a F O R T……….O U T S I D E “And do WHAWDT?, do whawdt in the F O R T?” Kills me everytime…one of the most underrated/unknown comedies of all time

@@pimpindnice910 Same ^^. All that. Along with: "[rolleyes, then close in exasperation] ...nobody plays with SSSSTICKS"

you think a child being rude and back chatting to her parents is 'incredulous?' 🤬🤬🤬

@@westaussie965 Yes, among other things. This is a comedy, not reality. Laughter doesn't necessarily imply condonement. Regardless, to your point about word choice, I said "defiant and incredulous retorts," which acknowledges she's verbally rebelling against her parents with more than mere sedate responses. The scene wouldn't have much comedic effect if she had blandly responded in monotone acquiescence. I acknowledged she's being defiant (and yes, also somewhat sarcastic), and she's also unwilling to accept or believe what they're trying to impose or suggest: "...build a fort?! And do WHAT in the fort?" It's as if she can't believe such words and suggestions just came from her mother's mouth. So, responds with incredulity, defiance, frustration, and exasperation, all of the above. She projects and encapsulates it all. I found her responses and delivery to be hilarious. I thought it was a great portrayal of a precocious, quasi-rebellious young teen beginning to find her voice. I expect a lot of people can relate to this scene as parents or children, and find humor in it, whether or not we would have ever responded to our own parents this way. I also found the Melissa McCarthy scene in the principal's office hilarious, although I wouldn't behave that way myself. Just because we laugh at a movie scene doesn't mean we endorse the behavior in real life. I'm sure a lot of people laughed at the Leslie Mann scene where she bullies the Tom Petty lookalike child and makes him cry. Does that mean they condone bullying? I ask that rhetorically. This is a movie, not reality (although ironically, Leslie Mann is Maude Apatow's mother), but I expect it's cathartic for many (apparently a lot of people in the comments found this scene amusing), because it voices thoughts on topics and in situations that good manners, mores, and norms would usually (hopefully) prevent us from saying out loud. Comedy is certainly subjective, and I'm not trying to negate your perspective, but I thought the scene accurately and humorously reflected familial frustrations, dysfunction, and problems caused by generation gaps, recurring themes throughout the movie. I watched the scene again and still unapologetically enjoyed it and appreciated the acting. But to each their own. Have a good day.

Agreed

Yeesh! A sign of the times 😬

Serrrriooooussssly! NAILED IT!!! 🤣

You sit in it that what you do in there

*every Harry Potter fan watching this video*

She was dead serious

Just smash with earplugs then.

@@leohunted She is smoking hot - ear plug smash approved.

@@jimbosc her daughter so mad at her mother and fathers

She does not

I have a sister who acts just like the way she does in every way 😂 Its hilarious

Welcome to the Metaverse yes she does have a heart. Avoiding conflict big time

Everyone else had a heart as well when they were young. She'll grow up and that heart will die.

Stand by me reference

You missed the first one. “Because the dressing always gets in the way of the natural taste of the lettuce” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes!! The girl is PERFECT!!!!

😂😂😂😂😂

Iris

😍

They won't seem crazy once you have a Maude of your own.

@@NOMADcourier85 haahhahaha

Mom had a point but still

Twist: they never told her they're just shooting a movie.

@@L1Run 🤣🤣🤣

Nah. She just cut in line.

Maude Apatow. That’s her mom and sister in real life and her dad is the director. I think working with her family made her a natural here.

Yes it is!!😂😂 I just that on her credits

Teressa Was she born the exact month it came out? I was in grade 10 when it came out

Aly Jade sure they can lol

exactly

Especially since its pretty clear that they're only doing it so they can feel good about themselves.

Lmao yes we can. We’re the mom.

Lol it’s called parenting. Wow. Someone has mommy issues, huh?

paolo ciardullo Director.

paolo ciardullo Leslie Mann's kids?

*Director I think, hold on let me check imdb ... okay, director AND writer AND producer

Aʅσɳҽ Ơυƚƈαʂƚ which character?

Director writer and producer

Anthony Caruso all three movies feature Leslie and her actual daughters. This one, Knocked Up and Funny People

Why do people say this as if everybody doesn’t know already???

And what's worse is how they try to reason with her, like suggesting she build a fort. It just shows how little they actually know their daughter and seems more like they're just talking down to her.

Yes. I because I think teen girls also never use punctuation or capitalization.

100%. Also, the way this was approached was done really poorly. If they want to implement changes, then it needs to be done gradually. People get into a mindset of “parents are parents and what they say goes,” but your children will resent you if you never negotiate with them or let them have choices. You can still be the one “running the show” by giving them the choices, but at most developmental stages, children will respond adversely to being given no options. It feels like a punishment. If someone came up to an adult living their life, and told them that they would have to change the way they live, even if it hurt no one- there would be hell.

WTF are you saying? Maybe you should spend less time on the computer and more time reading up on proper grammar.

go to your room

That is not facial recognition

It’s off sound lol

It was always there in samsung. I remember my S4 having that when I was younger

If it was Alan from two and a half men she'd be crashing at her sisters

Arun James I agree

In "Knocked Up" she is younger and even cuter

I played with all kinds of junk.

I'm the older sister only I can't even manage to fight back like this

that you know of

"I know She's tough"
