Bryce's dad


Not sure I really understand why Bryce's dad was so mean. He critisized the Bakers even though he didn't know them, he made fun of Juli's uncle for being mentally challenged, and he slapped his own daughter across the face. Am I missing something here?

You missed - Juli's parents (the good people) were played by Rebecca De Mornay and Aidan Quinn -two great actors who normally play the heavies (the bad ones)

While Bryce's parents (the bad people) were played by Anthony Edwards and Penelope Ann Miller - two great actors who usually play the good people -

Four actors FLIPPED fom their normal typecasting !

You messed that up. Juli's parents were played by Aidan Quinn and Penelope Ann Miller. Bryces's parents were played by Anthony Edwards and Rebecca De Mornay.

Actually, Rebecca De Mornay's character was married to Anthony Edward's character....so it's actually a hybrid of your "good guy vs. bad guys" viewpoint. :)
