Apartment Was A Mess!


Anyone else think "wow, this guy lives like a pig!" when they showed the kitchen and bathroom while Giselle cleaned it with the birds, bugs, and rodents?
I love this movie but Robert lived like a pig while raising a child. He was a lawyer so I think he could have afforded to have someone come in and clean once a week or something, lol.

Cheap a$$.

It's just the age-old "men can't keep house" trope.

Actually felt the same comic geek, until I realised that they had to make Robert out to be messy so all the rats in equity could get hired for the movie.

Sounds plausible, but was Equity able to fully man (rat?) the scene, or did they have to resort to dummy rats to fill the tally, a la the Gone With the Wind car shed crane pullback scene?

reply

Think Equity was able to fully equip the film with rats, but had to import the pigeons. For some reason US pigeons refused to work on Mondays, so they imported them from the UK.

Maybe he just didn't have the chance to clean up because he was so busy. At least he wasn't a hoarder.
