Why would a woman...


.... want to be with a man who abused her son in school? I wouldn't want her as a parent.

"Andy! You goonie!"

She was a terrible mother. Her son's feelings were dismissed in favor of her own. It didn't matter how her son felt about the men she was bringing home because her needs came before his. Even when she caught Woodcock speaking to her son out of line, she faults both of them equally. What an awful parent. Telling her son how hard being single was on her when he doesn't have a father... so rough on her, indeed.

Awful movie.

Plotholes are like Bigfoot, people who claim to see them are just trying to stir things up.

If my mom would do that I'd never talk to her again.

The mother was alone for a long time, always focusing only on her son.... the son is what? 30 years old? why he did not say anything, when in school?
How is she a terrible mother, if her son is 30something and coming back home only for a book tour-event?

I agree. I would think that what someone did to her son would put her off enough to not be interested in him.

And... Farley was going to tell his mother about Mr. W being a bad person, he starts by saying remember all of those days I cam home crying...
So if she was a good mother don't you think she would have found out why (that he was being bullied by a teacher) and I'm sure there was some of it in his books since it was about overcoming things (Mr. W).

Amen. She was such an oblivious, horny old bitch. I wanted to slap a non-fiction version of her when she showed up at the corn eating contest and AGAIN went something like : « Oooow... How cute that my two guys are heeeere... I knew I'd find you heeeeere... » *beep* Your son doesn't have an Oedipus complex, he just doesn't want to have to suffer an angry damaged *beep* every time he visits.
