Was Buzz really vomiting or was he pretending to vomit to provoke Kevin?


Do you think that he was really vomiting or did he just want to spit out Kevin's pizza to tell Kevin to eat the vomit? What do you think?

reply

Pretending.

That's what I thought. But because Kevin wasn't so innocent either, they took it for granted that it was his fault. It happened like the boy who cried wolf. But I agree that Buzz was pretending to vomit to tick off Kevin. This time Kevin was innocent.

reply

Yeah the family was terrible to him, especially Buzz and Uncle Frank but Kevin was still a brat

reply

One hundred percent agree. It happened to him like the boy who cried wolf. You see what I mean?

reply

Only Kevin wasn,t crying wolf.

reply

What I meant was that he was a trouble maker, and they didn't believe him even when he was innocent. They just took it for granted that he was the culprit in the pizza incident.

There's actually several factors playing a part here:

1.) Kevin's parents are idiots.

2.) Due to factor 1, they favor Buzz over Kevin for some unknown reason, so they let him off the hook for everything, and even seem blind to his faults, but always notice when Kevin does something bad.

3.) The family has too many kids and the idiot parents mentioned above have a terrible time managing a house full of relatives in addition to their 4 kids.

Definitely agree on all accounts. The parents really were idiots. They left him alone not once but twice. I'm surprised Child Protective Services wasn't knocking on their door.

As for the OP - It should've been painstakingly obvious that Buzz was faking considering he mentioned somebody would have to barf it all up if Kevin wanted a slice of cheese pizza.

reply

He was pretending, though when I originally saw this movie, I looked away, because I can't stand seeing people barf, not then, and not even now.

reply

How is it not painfully obvious that Buzz was pretending?
