the mom = b!tch.
Your kids deserved to be smacked around lady they are horrible
sharelol I didn't really think the mom was a b!tch, but the entire first half I was thinking her kids were such pricks. They were pretty awful to the others. I was like, they are ten times meaner than the other kids! I actually couldn't stand them until halfway through the film.
sharethey are ten times meaner than the other kids!
What????!!!! How can you both say the North kids were worse than the Beardsley "kids"? I mean seriously, the Beardsleys were creepy, unhumerous, and they were PURE EVIL til the middle of the film. I mean...
William, in a deleted scene where the families meat for the 1st time, takes 1 look at the North kids and whispers to Christina "Total freak show." Yeah, that was SO not mean of him. Not to mention him changing the bathroom schedule so the Norths would only have 5 mins each while the Beardsleys got almost an hour. Christina insulted Pheobe's music skills, her sense of fashion, and was just a little pain in the you-know-where. Harry threatened to punch Naoko in the face while she was "capturing the verite of life at sea", and Michael... Don't even get me started. "We, the Beardsley family, SAIL the boat while you Noths, I'm guessing, hang out in the cabin and pick your noses!" Then he calls Dylan a loser after making him fall from a painfully high mast (with the help of Christina and Harry I'd like to add), and plus he was pretty much the reason the whole paint fight started. The shoe in the paint can? Ring a bell? Long story short, the Beardsley kids were the evil ones and whoever says otherwise don't know what they're talking about.
Sadly this was not an accurate depiction of the true Beardsley and North families.
What do you mean by that?

Both movies were based on a actual family. From what I understand there was not the same level of hate in the blended family as this movie portrayed. Not saying that everything was okay and there was instant love though.
Oh I see. Lol I thought for a minute you were commenting negatively on what I was saying about the kids and my opinion on which of them were the evil ones.
shareAnd another thing. In exactly what ways were the Norths meaner than the Beardslys? If the only example you can give me is the scene where the Norths trick the Beardslys into thinking there's a fire so they can all run outside in their underwear, the Beardslys totally had that coming! Up until the middle of the film, nothing would've pleased me more than to backhand every 1 of the Beardsly kids in the face. Especially the part where Helen got them to use her "talking stick" for the 1st time.
shareThe father needs to realize his home is not the military and it should not be run as if it is.
shareThank you!!! That is exactly what I always say when he goes, "Fall in for billeting", "These are your schedules with latrine times", and blah blah blah.
shareyea cause HIS kids were already good, they didnt need discipline =) however the North kids were BRATS!!! ohhh but its ok, their the family were sposed to prefer so thats ok
shareOh yeah, because the North kids were the ones who said stuff like, "WE sail the boat and YOU GUYS hang out in the cabin and pick your noses." And the Norths were the ones who belittled creative people who have imaginations. And that wasn't CHRISTINA who said insulted PHOEBE's clothes, music, and room interior, it was the other way around. And did you not see at the breakfast scene, one of the Beardsley twins was pouring a lot of sugar in Naoko's juice? And of course it wasn't the Beardsley kids who changed the unnecessary bathrrom schedule, no. That was all the Norths. The Beardsleys were the brats, the Norths were just wild. Heck, half the North kids never even did anything bad: Lau, Joni, Marisa, Bina, Mick, Jimi. As for the Beardsleys, the only ones I can say anything positive about are Kelly and Ethan. William was a know-it-all, Christina was a stereotypical snob who looks down on other girls, Harry was just miserable 24/7, Michael was begging for a black eye, and the twins did nothing but scream, "I WANNA DO IT" at each other throughout the whole movie.
shareThe real life Beardsley marriage with 20 children (two more after the marriage and none of them adopted), did use schedules and regiments and was not chaotic like the movie, but then again the real marriage was in 1961 at a time when children was not given the right to be *beep* and discipline was seen as the norm and not a way to undermine everyone;'s prince or princess of a child.
