Do we really need another movie about some kid being raised by either a single parent or an aunt who is entire angst is that his dad died a long time ago and because of that he still has no friends no future and is a miserable sad sack?
Because honestly that is so dumb, in this day and age a child in that situation would have had some type of intervention by their school by now. The absolute worst offender of this was that crap onwards movie where some guy had spent the last 18 years of his life whining and being sad that his dad died before he was born. He had literally no friends or hobbies or interest at all and had a Shrine to this man he'd never met and thinks his entire world life would have been better if he just met his dad one time. Every single character was so two-dimensional that I could not believe that they existed even a second before they were on screen.
