...people still have everything in the room they grew up in? Everyone I know takes their stuff with them and the parents usually can't wait to use that room.
shareNo doubt, it's a weird thing, I've been wondering about it myself. I have never known anyone in real life with their childhood room still intact in their parent's house, and now I'm old enough to have friends that are parents with kids that have moved out and they certainly don't keep their kid's rooms all set up like time capsules either.
Yet, I've seen this in countless movies and television shows. Maybe rich Hollywood types that own gigantic houses with more rooms than they can use do this so they think everybody else does?
After I left the house, my bedroom became a sibling's bedroom a couple of years later. All my stuff was put in the attic, or stuffed in a closet.
shareI've also never seen a time capsule room, either. Kinda would like too. Let's be honest it really didn't make any sense in this movie that their parents would keep both their rooms exactly as they were in High School. I mean, why didn't one of the sisters take any of their stuff when they moved out? I'm talking even minor things like their mix cassettes (assuming one must've moved out by the early 90's when people still used cassettes..even mid 90's).
I found the movie OK. Maybe it's the sad state of comedies but I actually didn't totally hate it. The party scene, as many noted, was way too long. But luckily it wasn't that long of a movie. IMHO comedy is just lost right now ...I can't tell you the last good comedy I saw. They've all been mediocre or worse. God, after watching Dirty Grandpa I actually found this acceptable. This may sound strange but the premise of their childhood home and them not wanting to lose it was the only thing that kept it together as I could actually buy that as plausible.
People said this was really raunchy. I didn't see it overly raunchy. I guess because most comedies are now based on raunchiness and from what I've personally scene this seemed tame. After watching Dirty Grandpa...well, anything seems like it is a Disney film.
See, my experience has been the opposite. (I'm 39.) Most of my friends and relatives left their childhood bedrooms like that for years. I had actually set aside maybe 10 days (including over Thanksgiving) to clean mine out in 2005, but Katrina got there first. :( I did rescue a decent amount of stuff, but I would have liked to have made those decisions, not the flood waters.

Agreed. It's not like these characters left home at 15.
shareI concur. What a load of *beep*
